Well, I guess we both stumbled accross the Dark Side Of XOOPS.
My blocks are still gone. only the center (main) block is visible.
EDIT1I'm off to bed, without any block menu visible
I've set the visibility on and then back on, to no avail. I changed ranks, and all kinds of settings, back and forward, haping that it may do something. But NO. The templates are fine, the theme template is fine, the database files are all there and fine,
...
<cite><code>
<div id="LeftColumn">
<!-- Start left blocks loop -->
<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_lblocks}>
<{include file="default/theme_blockleft.html"}>
<{/foreach}>
<!-- End left blocks loop -->
</div>
<{if $xoops_showrblock == 1}>
<div id="RightColumn">
<!-- Start right blocks loop -->
<{foreach item=block from=$xoops_rblocks}>
<{include file="default/theme_blockright.html"}>
<{/foreach}>
<!-- End right blocks loop -->
</code></cite>
This is from my template, and this is how it looks after it has gone through the server:
<cite><code>
<div id="LeftColumn">
<!-- Start left blocks loop -->
<!-- End left blocks loop -->
</div>
<div id="RightColumn">
<!-- Start right blocks loop -->
<!-- End right blocks loop -->
</code></cite>
BUT in my block admin, everything is set to visible. Confirmed by checking the DB tables.
I would be very glad if someone could give me any advice, where to look!
