Title: Missing Blocks?
Post by: niblem on December 11, 2006, 07:04:45 AM
One of my members notified me that since the upgrade to 1.1 and 0.9.7, he can no longer see left or right sided blocks.

I checked his permissions, and his membergroup has permissions to see the blocks, etc.

He can see the forums, header, footer, etc but no blocks.

Any suggestions?  I did a search and couldn't find any other people with this problem.

Can you see the blocks? how about a link and a test user name and password so we can see the problem ?

Also which theme are you using?

Everyone else (that I'm aware of), can see the blocks including myself.

The theme I am using is CityScape (was using default prior to this, this is my first time using a different theme)

That is odd indeed, I see the blocks as well, nice picture in the gallery block.

I am sorry I don't know what to tell you.

Couldent it be that your user have to click the shrinks for the left and right bar for them to show ?
Ask him/her to try the click the shrink buttons and see what happends

That gallery block code is the greatest thing for my members, they love posting screenshots :)

And about the shrinks, where exactly would those be?  Most of my blocks have the collapsable option disable.

In this theme you have them in the upper right corner, the small squares, other themes usually have them beside the top link bar

There are 4 small squares, of different colors, that only change the top header color.

I'm not seeing any other squares.

I don't see the shrink icons on your site either.  I tried to register on the site, but got the following error each time:

Fatal error: register2(): Failed opening required '/home/globalav/public_html/forum/Sources/CustomProfile.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/globalav/public_html/forum/Sources/Register.php on line 160

*sigh*

I'm starting to get very lost :(

You might have some SMF corruption somewhere.  You might try  backing up the CustomProfile.php file and the Register.php file, then take those files from the SMF zip file, and copy them to the appropriate locations as listed in the error msg.  See if that clears that up.  If so, you should look in your mod listings to see if any mods you added change either of those 2 files.  Perhaps they horked one of them up...

I also have same problem with Cityscape theme. My configuration is:

SMF 1.1.1
TP 0.97 (installed by modding the XML file)
Cityscape for 1.1 final

And I have no left and right blocks.

Solved: My stupid behavior of downloading the non-TP version of Cityscape.

Have downloaded and installed the 1.1 Final TP version of Cityscape.
Am I missing humor here? :)

none at all, I was just curious, I like to know the out come so that I can pass this information on to other that may have the same problems

OK, let me summarize it.

I had a working SMF 1.1RC3 / TP0.96 installation with Cityscape for TP and 1.1RC3.

First I uninstalled TP 0.96 via Package Manager.

Then I upgraded to SMF 1.1.1 by uploading the update package and running the upgrade script.

Then I installed TP 0.97. To do this, I downloaded TP0.97, unzipped it and edited the package_info.xml file. I added ,1.1.1 near 1.1RC3 in two places. Then I zipped the file again as TP_097.zip and installed it via Package Manager. I had absolutely no problems.

Then, I downloaded the Cityscape for TP and 1.1Final. Installed it via theme manager and voila!

Where did you get that Cityscape for 1.1Final with TP?

I can only find Cityscapa for 1.1RC3 with TP , and that doesn't work right with 1.1.2 with TP 0,98

Cheers,
j!
