Recent Topics block error??

[ZarPrime]

This is the same similar problem I was having when I first set this up on my test site.  It worked fine in an article, and a block that was shown everywhere but it wasn't working on the FP.  As it turned out, I had a block on the FP that was interfering with the javascript and, once I removed that, I had no further problems.

I've also set this up here on this site recently in contemplation of changing around some things on the FP here and it is working flawlessly though it's not visible to everyone yet.  Hmmm, maybe I'll go ahead and make that visible right now.  It's on the FP only, at the bottom.  Click the Home button here and see if it works for you.

I treid the good ol' turn off and on blocks procedure to see if that was the problem, and when I got down to it was the only active block I felt it had to be the problem, not a another block interfering with it.

Hmmm, OK, the one here shows 15 topics as it should when you are logged in but only 10 when you viewing it as a guest.  I'm pretty sure that I know the reason for that and I'll fix that later.  It's because we have the info center set to show 10 topics and that overrides the setting in this block when not logged in.

Mine does that as well (guest view vs member view) but that is because some boards guests cannot view so the posts won't list for them as well in the block.

pvcblue,

Hmmm, I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that you have some posts listed that have nothing in them but an embedded video.  If you have the YouTube video Mod enabled to allow videos to be posted on your Forum the javascript that is required for the embedding could be interfering with this block working on the FP.

I don't know that this would be the problem but it's possible.

Take note of what IchBin said.

Also I think the problem could be with toolTips not working with Aeva - is that what you are using ?

Using Chrome I was able to find the problem topics and each one is where you had posted an embedded video.

So first upgrade, but I don't think this is going to work properly as it is.  In IE8 your front page loads fine for me but there are errors - I don't actually get the pop up telling me, but they are there nonetheless.

Edit : ZP pipped me !

Yes indeed, this could very well be the problem.  Since the only 3 topics in the block are at the bottom, change the number of topics to 10 and see if the errors go away.  If it works fine, then the embedded video topics are the problem.

You just set a light bulb on in my head!! I had recently added a embedded video post right before this started happening, it had no intro text so the hover box wasn't showing, I have added a intopr text to it and now TA-DAA!! No Error!!

Way to go guys, what a team we have here

[ZarPrime]

Thanks Les.  I'm hoping that we can put this topic to bed now once and for all.
