XOOPS 2.0.2, module "xoopsheadline":

My headlines block was here a few hours ago, now it's gone. No changes were made that should have affected this.

The block is set to "visible" in "top page." (It's set to display at top right) All users and groups have rights to access the Headlines module as well as the Headlines block.

The news site I'm trying to display in the headlines block is set up correctly, "Display in Block" is checked and cache time is 1 hour. /cache has 777 permissions.

The URL for the XML/RSS file is valid.

All this have I checked, but it's as if the block doesn't even exist!! What am I overlooking?

Thanks,

Nick

This is only a suggestion, as I've never faced this issue:

Do you validate your news feed before adding it to your headlines module? If not, it could be the headlines update fails on a feed and makes the script time out upon creating the block cache.

From what I've read, clearing the cache should take care of this issue.

Discrepancies between cache times in the headlines module and headline block may also be at stake.
