I have just recently switch to WP and am having a bit of trouble. I am trying to set up Matt's asides on my blog, but whenever I edit my template according to the instructions on Matt's site, I can't load my site, but instead get an error that says:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENDFOREACH ...
Being a complete WP novice, I have no idea what this means or how to go about fixing it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Posted 5 years ago #I have tried adding this but still not working.
My post loop (I think that is what it is called?) is:
<?php
if ($posts) {
function stupid_hack($str) {
return preg_replace('| \s*<ul class="asides">|', '', $str);
}
ob_start('stupid_hack');
foreach($posts as $post) { start_wp();
?>
<?php if (in_category(9) && !$single) { ?>
<ul class="asides">
<li id="p<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php echo wptexturize($post->post_content); echo ' '; comments_popup_link('(0)', '(1)', '(%)')?> <?php edit_post_link('(e)'); ?>
<?php } else { ?>
<?php the_date('','<h2>','</h2>'); ?>
<div class="post">
<h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class="meta"><?php _e("Filed under:"); ?> <?php the_category() ?> — <?php the_author() ?> @ <?php the_time() ?> <?php edit_post_link(); ?></div>
<div class="storycontent">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<?php } // closes printing entries with excluded cats ?>
<div class="feedback">
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
<?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
</div>
<!--
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
-->
<?php include(ABSPATH . 'wp-comments.php'); ?>
</div>
<?php endforeach; else: ?>
<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Posted 5 years ago #ok, that didnt work out too well...
try here, http://www.scamcity.co.uk/journal/index.txt -
Posted 5 years ago #Thank you both so much! They are working. Now on to the next task :)
-
Heh, glad you got them working...
FWI the problem was with these lines:
endforeach; else:
and
endif;
The top should be "} } else {" and the bottom simply "}". -
I end up getting this error:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected '}' in /home/virtual/site29/fst/var/www/html/test.php on line 90
with that occuring after the endif; -
anyone?
-
I wrote this up:
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/asides/
Help at all ? -
does that work with wp 1.3 betas as well?
-
If you're using 1.3-alpha already here is the exact code I'm using right now, optimized for 1.3 functions:
http://codex.wordpress.org/User:Matt/photomatt.net/index.php -
I'll sort that into a page like above tomorrow if that's okay Matt ?
-
wow, thanks matt. i'll try that as soon as i get my stupid .htaccess issue fixed up...
-
Podz, whatever you need is yours.
Lawtai, try taking out the } on line 90 and see what happens. -
Well, optimized for 1.3 looks good, but what I've got works and it was easier adding all the pieces parts bit by bit than trying to "optimize" them now. I keep "breaking" it somewhere down the line. Don't know how you guys do it - makes my head swim... or hurt!
(Looks like lawtai is in the same boat ; ) -
lol yea, don't know why it doesn't want to work!
-
Sorted for 1.3pre-alpha2
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/asides2/
Took ages to work out that did ! :) -
well this work for 1.2 as well?
-
It does, but the code you need to comment out is different
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/asides/ - for 1.2
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/asides2/ - for 1.3 -
hmm ok, cause i followed the guide for 1.2 and ended up wtih that error the first try around.
-
Posted 5 years ago #Try removing the trailing v from the last line. That did it for me.
-
thanks lfaren! that seemed to do the trick!
-
lawtai - is there an error on the page I did ?
-
yea, i followed to the instructions for 1.2 and with the v in there i get an error
-
Ah !
I hadn't seen that - I'll delete it right now - thanks for pointing it out :) -
thanks for putting together the guide podz!
-
Can this be done in WP 1.02?
-
I didn't have a problem getting this to work thanks to Podz excellent guide (btw on the 3rd line from the bottom(1.2 guide), texturize is with a s, so doesn't work if you copy and paste). However, I am also using MTdew's recent posts plugin and want to stop the titles in the asides category from showing. Any suggestions? there doesn't seem to be any way of excluding categories.
-
Thanks for spotting the typo :)
Unfortunately, I haven't the answer to your query .... -
Vohiyaar, 1.0 doesn't have the in_category() function that this kinda depends on.
