I'm having some trouble trying to solve this syntax error. Can anyone help me please?

<?php
$context = get_context();

// Dashboard widgets.
if($context == 'dashboard','profile') {
$widgets = array(
'meetups_small',
'albums',
'videos',

);
foreach($widgets as $widget) {
echo elgg_view('theme_widgets/' . $widget);
}
}
?>

I am guessing it was this line:

Code: [ Select ]
if($context == 'dashboard','profile') {


Is that the part you figured out? :)

yes, I turned it into an array

Code: [ Select ]
if($context == array('dashboard','profile'));


I hope that I did it right. If not, any suggestions?

I guess that would depend on what $context is holding. Your syntax is good, it just depends on what your logic is here as that could still be wrong and wouldn't return any PHP errors. What does the function get_context() return? With this code:

Code: [ Select ]
if($context == array('dashboard','profile'));


That will return true if $context has the same array values as you are testing there. You can see the array operators here:
