HELP! Front Template Problem! A lot of cards are broken!

Hello everyone,

I created Cards for my Kids. They work in two ways for english and french (einfach: beide Richtungen auf deutsch).

Now my kids wanted to study, and I get the following message and the cards can not be used:

Die Vorlage für die Vorderseite hat ein Problem:
‘⁨}}⁩’ fehlt in ‘⁨{{Vorhdzjdhjwguwgwigzwtzwzuwgwzgwzwzzwuzgwderseite}jfihfjzdiegzet5dcdgidiidjjhi8}vszjdjdhfh7qvwf5dcdrzdvduhdgudjwtidz8djvdgzdhet5ehegzejzwueg4wheghechehidhofjkdgtdjdgtwlwfzrkdhueheziehggghhgggfhgeiwhpwzirfwzwvzdjsbsgtdjdcuwiwbdosbgekvezwjwhowgtezetdjvdzslwgtfjezufhdhzdisgtdldkkehuejehhrvtekezhsjdgusjwgtrvriejszudhggueifguejezuejgetslgwzjezuejagjfjekdvufhhjdovsjdjidjszkaaaaaaahahaaaaaajfzwijqhduaajsziajavajdgzensgalvsjdhjdjtqjgszejcdisodhidjkdjiskkdgtsjgd7idzidjdz6ahsgzdcsrsjvdtsodjoshtsjfzujsgdfajcsuwfudgtdvdgzdgggofgtwjxggggggggggzat6kqh6wjezuwie geht rs der ich musste mich kurz zurückziehenweißt du Master luke a⁩’

I don’t know what to do.

I have the problem only with cards that work in two ways (einfach: beide Richtungen).

Please help, I created cards for them for two years, there seem to be nearly 1000 cards broken.

Thank you very much

The error says that you’re missing a closing brace }} in a Field replacement. Can you post the text of the actual front template (in a code/preformatted block, please)?

Hi, i copied the message from the front template. It looks like this:

{{Vorhdzjdhjwguwgwigzwtzwzuwgwzgwzwzzwuzgwderseite}jfihfjzdiegzet5dcdgidiidjjhi8}vszjdjdhfh7qvwf5dcdrzdvduhdgudjwtidz8djvdgzdhet5ehegzejzwueg4wheghechehidhofjkdgtdjdgtwlwfzrkdhueheziehggghhgggfhgeiwhpwzirfwzwvzdjsbsgtdjdcuwiwbdosbgekvezwjwhowgtezetdjvdzslwgtfjezufhdhzdisgtdldkkehuejehhrvtekezhsjdgusjwgtrvriejszudhggueifguejezuejgetslgwzjezuejagjfjekdvufhhjdovsjdjidjszkaaaaaaahahaaaaaajfzwijqhduaajsziajavajdgzensgalvsjdhjdjtqjgszejcdisodhidjkdjiskkdgtsjgd7idzidjdz6ahsgzdcsrsjvdtsodjoshtsjfzujsgdfajcsuwfudgtdvdgzdgggofgtwjxggggggggggzat6kqh6wjezuwie geht rs der ich musste mich kurz zurückziehenweißt du Master luke

Is this code/preformatted? I have no clue…

Thanks a lot!

The text of the front card is:

21st

the text of the back card is the german translation:

einundzwanzigste

See Card Templates - Anki Manual.

You can modify card templates by clicking the “Cards…” button inside the editing screen.

Card templates have the blueprint to generate a card using the information you put into a note. For example, if you want to see information from the “German” field in the question side of cards, you put {{German}} in the “Front template”.

Look into if you have a } missing from your template. Or post the template here and someone will help you.

Assuming what you posted earlier is correct, you do have one curly bracket } missing. See the end of line:

Just for future reference, code format is something like this:Extended Syntax | Markdown Guide

If I add a curly bracket, the message in the preview changes:

Die Vorlage für die Vorderseite hat ein Problem:
‘⁨{{Vorhdzjdhjwguwgwigzwtzwzuwgwzgwzwzzwuzgwderseite}jfihfjzdiegzet5dcdgidiidjjhi8}}⁩’ gefunden, aber es gibt kein Feld mit dem Namen ‘⁨Vorhdzjdhjwguwgwigzwtzwzuwgwzgwzwzzwuzgwderseite}jfihfjzdiegzet5dcdgidiidjjhi8⁩’

What does this mean?

And how do I post the template correctly for you?

Thanks a lot already!

It’s saying you don’t have a field with that name. Anki uses the information you put in fields to construct the card. Which field do you want to see in front?

(Also, I gave you link to how code block is done. It’s just three ``` put before and after in newlines)

I want to see “21st” or “Anything else” at thr front card. And the german translation on the back card. And the card goes both ways so I can use it for english to german and the other was arounf.

The error message is the same with the two cards.

It seems to be the problem with all the cards.

The thing is I want to keep it simple. I just wrote text on the card and it worked for two years.

Now all cards that go in both ways (german/english for example) content this error message as listed above.

´´´´
{{FrontSide}}


{{Rückseite}}
´´´´

Or do you mean this from the backside`?

So does it look like in code I think

This works like algebra. You have a field called Front, in the card template you’ll put {{Front}} for that field content to appear. The error message is due to the fact that the fields you have and the fields you are asking Anki to display aren’t matching.

I don’t know what fields you have or your templates. If you can post them, I can see.

You put 4 backticks. That one also looks fine. The problem is in Front template.

You want {{Front}} to appear here, so you should type that in after deleting the rest. But I assume the field name is different in German? Put that in.

In this one, enter {{Rückseite}} (delete the rest in front). That’s probably the right one.

Where exactly do I type this?

I mean where the template is appearing? The one where you’re seeing gibberish written.
