Have you added any plugins recently or made any changes recently anywhere in the code?

also can you provide us with what they area around that line number looks like, maybe even send me that file if you want and i will compare it to my copy. 

You can also replace that file if you want from your 1.8.2 oxwall download if you have it to see if that solves the issue. If you do not have it let me know and i will send you the file from my version download. 

No hadn't touched plugins or any code for over a week. I hadn't seen it, the tech support at fastcomet said that the line was blank, but they were able to compare it to a backed up copy and fixed it for now... I'm just wondering what could have cause it to just delete the code when no one had touched it...

not sure, try to keep an eye on things and watch your error log both on cpanel and also in the ow_log folder.  If it happens again have your host check the server logs to see if someone might have your login info for cpanel or an ftp connection, that is just a guess so dont panic.  

Let us know if this happens again please :)  glad you got it fixed for now. 

Luke, have you enabled dev mode before you had this issue? 

Thank you, I'll keep an eye on it. No, Ross, I hadn't.

For future reference:

@Luke Cole ,

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ''{$text_key_here}' (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE), expecting ')' in /public_html/ow_pluginfiles/base/lang_{$langID_here}.php on line {$line_number_here}


{$text_key_here} points to a line where unexpected syntax error appeared. Ex: syntax error, unexpected ''base+suspend_notificat' (T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE)

{$langID_here} points to a language file where error appeared. Ex: lang_1.php

- Common cause: system was not able to finish writing into specified lang.php  file due to memory limits or server downtimes/fatal errors.

-Known to happen during: software updates , enabled DEV mode. Overall any action that leads to language cache generation.

Apart from updates and DEV mode language cache is re-generated when:

- Save is clicked in Admin Panel >> Settings >> Languages.

- New plugin is installed.

SOLUTION: finish generating language cache. Choose one of the following:

1. click "Save" in Admin panel >> Settings >> Languages.

2. if #1 won't help, go to ow_includes/config.php and set DEV mode to 8 instead of false. Refresh any site page.

When error is resovled put DEV mode back to "false".
