After I cloned the default template, when I tried to switch over to it in preferences I got the following error message:

Error: Smarty error: [in db:extcal_block_minical.html line 8]: syntax error: unclosed tag {if} (opened line 5). (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 317)

I looked at the code in this file and as far as I can see the {if} tag on line 5 DID have a closing tag. Also, the links to modules in the main menu were replaced with this:

<{$block.lang_home}> <{foreach item=module from=$block.modules}><{$module.name}> <{foreach item=sublink from=$module.sublinks}> <{$sublink.name}> <{/foreach}> <{/foreach}>
(Edit: I am only experiencing this problem when using the theme I was using when I cloned the default template)

It looks like maybe it's a problem with the extCal but I've never had a problem with the module, including the minical, but I don't know I'm new to this. If anyone could help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I just noticed something interesting. When I view the file on my computer, it is complete, but when I view it from the admin template blocks area the code is cut short.

Ok I got it. I just needed to edit the file in the cloned template to match the original code. Strange I had to do that though.
