TOPIC: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPE

Which version of !jocomment? Hopefully not 4.0 alpha

3.26 is the version I just uploaded. I had a real hard time installing it over the last version of Jcomment I had so I finally just deleted the mysql data and tables, plus uninstaLLed the program and finally was able to load the latest 3.26. However, now when I click on Components>>!JoomlaComment>> any thing I select from that drop down list gets the same parse error.

Thanks for any help.

were you using ako comment?

I don't think so. What is that?

I see what it is.... No the only comment component I have ever used is joomla comment. It eworked fine until I updated to Joomla 1.5.9 then my commentw went crazy. That is why I updated to the latest joomla comment

Sorry, I didn't understand you.
Is it working now or not?

No, it is still not working. I just was not sure what you were talking about when you spoke of ako comment. Then I did a Google search and figured out what you were asking.

Anyway, I still have the problem and I have never used any other comment component on my Joomla site. I really liked the last incarnation and I like this one as well except I am unable to set any perameters due to the parsing error. Sorry for the confusion. What are my options? (Please don't say I have to delete and reload)

May I get admin account and ftp access??

I PMed you the info. Let me know what you find out. Many thanks in advance.

I didn't understand what for is the first web site you sent me in your PM.
Anyway, your backend is working now. I just uncommented the line that was causing the troubles and it is working.
I've changed:
function existsAkoTable() { JFactory::getDBO()->setQuery(); } [code] to [code] function existsAkoTable() { $database = JFactory::getDBO(); $database->setQuery(''); } [code] The above code seems to make problems with your PHP version 4.4.9 Is there anyone with the same PHP version out there? I would like to know if it is a common problem. Thanks.[code]
function existsAkoTable()
{
JFactory::getDBO()->setQuery();
}
to [code] function existsAkoTable() { $database = JFactory::getDBO(); $database->setQuery(''); } [code] The above code seems to make problems with your PHP version 4.4.9 Is there anyone with the same PHP version out there? I would like to know if it is a common problem. Thanks.[code]

Thanks for the help and sorry for the delay. I have been busy. Everything seems to be working fine now.

I need too get with my host then because as I understand it, I am using php 5, or at least it says so. Thanks for the "heads-up".

I am having the same issue. Probably for the same reason. According to my host i am using php5 but this is the second php version info issue i have had.

Hey blair, What do you mean with "second php version info issue I have"?

Did changing the code to
$database = JFactory::getDBO();
$database->setQuery('');
helped you?

Yup... I had the same error.

Changed that bit of code and it seems to have remedied the issue.

php version 4.4.9

Ah sorry i didn't get back to you. I actually didn't change the code. I am on a shared host like so many others. I use lunar pages. I guess they have to enable php 5 on the system. Once they do that it all worked fine for me. So in other words they say its php 5 but only for people who request it. SO you might need to contact your provider.

What i meant was i had another component literally say. "We told you you had to uses php5 or better." when i tried to configure it. So then i had this issue also. So david call your host, or if you go into your control panel there was a way to enable it there as well, at least for me.

But thanks for you help guys!

Hey blair, thanks for the feedback. So to all of you having the same error - php5 is the solution or changing the code!

I have the same issue on 4.0alpha3.
