Hi ladon,
Thanks for your reply. You understand the problem correctly. It would seem logical that this approach would work. However I don't believe that these $xoops_showcleftblock and $xoops_showcrightblock variables exists or at least they are not being passed to theme.html. When you look at the output from Smarty debug they are not there.
I think this is a bug. It can be worked around. But I would like to see it work as it should. The Smarty templates supporting the controls from blocks admin.
Earlier today a post was made about how slow XOOPS was compared to other CMS alternatives. The author of the report states that of the CMS's tested the ones using a templating system were slower.
With that in mind if we are going to slow down XOOPS with templates then I think they should work, as any work arounds will slow it down even futher.
What do you think??
Best wishes and thanks again for your insight.
