[solved] Pageblocks--gone? Can I replicate them?

[streever]

Hi all,

I have top-level pages that have child pages that ALSO have content blocks. (What I used to call page blocks)

Basically, it's a simple 3 column layout. Column 1==navigation. Column 2 == content. Column 3 == little blocks of content that the client adds on as needed.

With pageblocks, they just clicked, "Add a block" and did. It was super easy! Everyone loved it. I had each content block in it's own div, so that it created a little border at the bottom! Bellisimo!

But now there seems no way to do this?

Do have to downgrade my CMS install to an older one to install page blocks? This won't really work because the client won't want to be on insecure versions.

I already have this job & am coding it  Didn't realize that page blocks would be removed... !

I miss you page blocks. *pours out a 40*

Sorry all, they do still work. They stopped working on an upgrade site of mine, but that turned out to be Database related error on my part.

Hi, streever

I would be very happy to know how you solved this, because I seem to have the very same problem.

Here is my problem: After version 1.3.0 the link called "Add block" seems to be missing. And then of course the module is of no use.

Does this sound familiar, and in that case: how did you fix it??

Oh well,

in the end I have found it still works (in CMSMS version 1.4.1), BUT, only in English. Or at least not in Norwegian...  Strange though, because the whole module is translated and has not been changed for over a year, and I have a lot of installs with older versions of CMSMS, where it works perfectly in Norwegian too.

Where should I post this bug report?

Thanks for your help and messages, Streever.

It may be translated but done in an older way cmsms may have a new/diff. way of handling lang. files now, please to look at another module to see how it is done/diff....

Hi,
please try this:

PageBlocks.module.php Line 265:

Code: Select all

if ('Content') == $content->FriendlyName())

change to:

Code: Select all

if (lang('contenttype_content') == $content->FriendlyName())

You just solved this case.

Your neat and tiny change in PageBlocks.module.php was all that was needed.

Thanx!
