Help: Labels are surrounded by double asterisks

[JLW]

I am putting the finishing touches on a migrated J3.3 site to replace our 1.5 site. Yesterday, the site was fine. As far as I can tell, all I was doing yesterday was working on a template override for one view of the Jevents calendaring component, but I must have disturbed something in the Joomla core, because all of a sudden all the menu items and messages in the Joomla back end are preceded and followed by two asterisks, and the same goes for a smattering of prompts within components in the front end.

Furthermore, the Joomla debug area at the bottom of the pages says:

Code: Select all

"Parsing Errors in Language Files"
JROOT/administrator/language/en-GB/en-GB.plg_system_jumi.ini : error(s) in line(s) 0, 1, 3, 10, 11

but this may have always been the case even before the problem occurred; I don't know.
That file's contents are:

Code: Select all

# $Id: en-GB.plg_content_jumi.ini 95 2009-02-25 10:20:33Z martin2hajek $
# Note : All ini files need to be saved as UTF-8 - No BOM

Can someone advise what I should check or fix?

Thanks for your attention.

can you download jumi package and copy file plg_system_jumi.ini in your server?

[Per Yngve Berg]

1) If your server is running Php 5.3, check that Magic Quotes is turned off.

2) There is Quotes inside Quotes. They should probably be escaped.

Code: Select all

The asterix display when debug language is set to Yes in Global Configuration.
If they display, it's a good sign that the value is correctly parsed.
If they do not but instead show a double ?? around the constant, then something wrong (string missing or error in the ini file)
