Getting a syntax error on create

[jim1506]

I have a table "companydetails" and I went through your instructions by generating the appropriate items, but when I go to the add I get the following message:

syntax error, unexpected 'stylesheet' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ')' (View: D:\Laravel\AssociatedLocks\resources\views\vendor\backpack\crud\form_content.blade.php) (View: D:\Laravel\AssociatedLocks\resources\views\vendor\backpack\crud\form_content.blade.php)

The problem seems to be the first line of this generated code block:

<?php $__env->startSection('after_styles'); ?>

<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo e(asset('vendor/backpack/crud/css/form.css')); ?>">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo e(asset('vendor/backpack/crud/css/'.$action.'.css')); ?>">

The code on the template that generates this code seems to be OK:

@section('after_styles') link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('vendor/backpack/crud/css/crud.css') }}"> link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('vendor/backpack/crud/css/form.css') }}"> link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('vendor/backpack/crud/css/'.$action.'.css') }}">

(I have had to remove the initial < on the link as the markdown hated it.,

I get this on any create or edit.

Hi @jim1506 ,

Hmmm.. that’s weird.

1. Shot in the dark here - what happens if you wrap the action stylesheet (and JS) with a conditional? Does it fix it for you?

@if (isset($action))
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('vendor/backpack/crud/css/'.$action.'.css') }}”>
@endif

2. Are you using the default create() method inside the CrudController? Or have you overwritten it in your CompanyDetailsCrudController?

Cheers!

@jim1506 still having the issue?

[jim1506]

Yes. I would love to use Backpack but until something is solved I can't as I cannot hang around for the answer.

[tabacitu]

@jim1506 please answer to my questions above if you want a fix. Help us help you. Also

(3) Have you upgraded this project from a previous version of Laravel / Backpack? What version are you running? a php artisan backpack:base:version should output all the versions we need to know.

[jim1506]

I have removed it from the project at the moment but I will create a new project for something else and get back to you shortly.

[jim1506]

This is a side issue. If you follow your tutorial (which I am doing exactly to make sure I do not have anything incorrect) and you use the command line

php artisan backpack:base:add-sidebar-content "<li><a href='{{ backpack_url('tag') }}'><i class='fa fa-tag'></i> <span>Tags</span></a></li>"

it will generate a line that is incorrect in sidebar_content:

<li><a href='{{ backpack_url('tag') }}'><i class='fa fa-tag'></i> <span>Tags</span></a></li>

it should of course be

href="{{ backpack_url('tag') }}"

[jim1506]

OK. I have changed that and just gone to add a tag and I am getting the original problem still:

ErrorException (E_ERROR) syntax error, unexpected 'stylesheet' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ')' (View: D:\Laravel\FunAndQuotes\resources\views\vendor\backpack\crud\form_content.blade.php) (View: D:\Laravel\FunAndQuotes\resources\views\vendor\backpack\crud\form_content.blade.php) Previous exceptions syntax error, unexpected 'stylesheet' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ')' (View: D:\Laravel\FunAndQuotes\resources\views\vendor\backpack\crud\form_content.blade.php) (0) syntax error, unexpected 'stylesheet' (T_STRING), expecting ',' or ')' (0)

I have just run

php artisan backpack:base:version

and got

Here is the composer file which includes some items I use all the time:

If you want I can zip it up and send it to you

[tabacitu]

@jim1506 yes, please do. A db dump too, please. You can send it to hello@tabacitu.ro if it’s confidential, but let’s continue to conversation here so it’s public and someone who gets the same issue has a way to follow our progress.

Cheers!

[pxpm]

@tabacito the first line open up blade tags {{ and close ?> (PHP), when using blade tags {{ }} you don't use the ; (semi-colon) at the end. That might be the problem ?

[tabacitu]

Hmm... @pxpm were you able to replicate the problem? Happened to you too?

[tabacitu]

Closing this as it looks like it's user error, and doesn't have any activity in quite a while. @jim1506 , I hope you got to the bottom of this.

Cheers!
