Code now causing compiling error

[lesliekirk]

I've been using this snippet of code for years now:

<tr><td align="left" valign="top" nowrap>
            <mvt:item name="fonts" param="body_font">
            <b>Ship Via:</b>
            </mvt:item>
        </td><td align="left" valign="bottom">
            <mvt:item name="fonts" param="body_font">
            <mvt:comment>Shipping Method Radio Buttons</mvt:comment>
<mvt:if expr="ISNULL l.settings:shippingmethods">
Unable to Calculate Shipping Costs<br />
<mvt:else>

<mvt:foreach array="shippingmethods" iterator="method">
<mvt:if expr="ISNULL g.ShippingMethod AND pos1 EQ 1">
<input type="radio" name="ShippingMethod" value="&mvte:method:module;:&mvte:method:code;" checked="checked" /> &mvt:method:name; (&mvt:method:formatted_price;)<br />
<mvt:elseif expr="g.ShippingMethod EQ (l.settings:method:module $ : $ l.settings:method:code)">
<input type="radio" name="ShippingMethod" value="&mvte:method:module;:&mvte:method:code;" checked="checked" /> &mvt:method:name; (&mvt:method:formatted_price;)<br />
<mvt:else>
<input type="radio" name="ShippingMethod" value="&mvte:method:module;:&mvte:method:code;" /> &mvt:method:name; (&mvt:method:formatted_price;)<br />
</mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
</mvt:if>

<mvt:if expr="ISNULL l.settings:shippingmethods">
<br>No valid shipping methods are available for your order. You will be contacted regarding shipping when your order is processed.
</mvt:if>
            </mvt:item>
        </td></tr>

And now all of sudden when I was trying to make a simple tweak to the page template, I get this error:

Error compiling template: Line 82: Expression compilation failed: Invalid Argument ':' Found in expression

which is referring to this line of code:

<mvt:elseif expr="g.ShippingMethod EQ (l.settings:method:module $ : $ l.settings:method:code)">

what is the correction needed to allow the template to compile?

Thanks,
Leslie

$ ':' $

odd that it ever would compile but i've seen the compiler miss minor errors before. basically, it was using ":" as a variable.

That part I understand, I need to find, figure out what the replacement code is.

<mvt:elseif expr="g.ShippingMethod EQ (l.settings:method:module $ ':' $ l.settings:method:code)">

should work
