You have an extra closed curly bracket. You've already closed it after ``. Any decent IDE such as netbeans will show you where you've gone wrong. — Ben Fortune, Oct 30 '13 at 15:46
@putvande PHP doesn't care how many opening brackets you have.. only that they're all closed. http://codepad.org/ke07rlWb — Mike B, Oct 30 '13 at 15:46

As stated in the comments, you are missing one or many closing brackets.

I recommend you to use another way of doing else-if statements to avoid mistakes like this when using HTML like so:

<?php if($this->countModules('social')):?>
    <!-- your HTML -->
<?php elseif($this->countModules('anotherInput')):?>
    <!-- your HTML -->
<?php endif; ?>

Also works with for and foreach statements.
