Give us the few lines before 26 as well.

Also, nice to see you using my tutorial and putting it to good use :p

Thanks for writing it Gary... I am hoping it will make this work, I really want this to look like the rest of my board.

Ok... here is 1-50 on the code

You didn't pay attention to the error message, now did you? It says right here in your first post:
Check your <if> statements in templates. You might be missing </if>

I doesn't like line 29:
[PHP]include_once($sys['path_include'] . '/config.inc.php');[/PHP]
but I don't know enough ab

I'm talking about the templates, not your file. The template that you are using on that page.

I put that file into a template, wondering it that would work

hmmm actually it's line 26 it doesn't like:

[PHP]$sys['path_include'] = 'inc';[/PHP]

but no clue whats wrong

Nope, that's incorrect actually.

It doesn't like line 26 in the EVALUATED code, meaning line 26 of the template that it is trying to execute

so what your saying is that it is not the actual line 26 but the 26th line of code? So it's not counting the comments?
