Block's dissapearing in xoops 2.2.3 final!

Hi All,

After having used v2.0.13.2 (which is incedibly stabile) I've moved to 2.2.3 Final (a clean install).
However I'm running into very basic issues (bugs?). Some blocks/modules don't appear and some appear only with
the their heading/warpping, without the actual content.
For example the internal blcok search does not show the editbox en the button, only shows the block title 'Search'.
I'm having this issue also with the TinyEvent module and de x-IPB module!
It's not a permissions./autoristaion issue and what I understand from other topics that it might be a bug in XOOPS 2.2.3.
Am I missing some options? WHich might me well the case, since the admin menu in 2.2.3 is in my opinion is much less easy to find and understand.

Can someone tell me what the official status of these issues are? And how I can work around these very basic and important issues?

Any pointers are welkom.

PS: I've already search the XOOPS forum and google, but if there's another topic for this issue anyway, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks in advance.

I had similar problems on a site that was a fresh install of 2.2.3 (i just got around it by creating a custom block and coping the code for the block from another XOOPS site (2.0.10.2 upgraded to 2.2.3)

I lost my main menu and top poster block, defult & custom template no joy, tried creating it in the custom templates and it wont have any of it

Currently I am on XOOPS 2.0.5 ( which is stable ) but for security reasons I want to move to XOOPS 2.2.3 ?

Do you have lot of problems with XOOPS 2.2.3 ? Please let me know your opinions.

Because you experienced the problem I thought this is the right place to ask.

At the moment you would be better moving from 2.0.5 to 2.13.2

The next main release of XOOPS will be 2.3 - and it will be easier to transfer to this from 2.0.x than from 2.2.x

The reason I moved from 2.0.13.2 (which is solid as a rock) to 2.2.3a final was because I needed a professional forum.
I had no luck getting x-IPB module (from bbpixel.com) to work XOOPS login.

And 2.2.3 is more chaotic (in my opinion, qua structure) but I was able to get x-IPB v1.5b to work flawlessly with XOOPS now.

Now I was running into the mysterious 'dissapearing blocks' and just five minutes ago I've 'solved' the problem, by updating the 'System' module.
I don't knwo if this will stay okay for long, but my humble advice would be to stick or move to 2.0.13.2.

I'm not sure I understand this:

Are you saying that users of 2.2.x will have a difficult time "transferring" to 2.3?

There is little documentation comparing the versions available for download (that I can see). Is there documentation telling users that many modules are NOT supported in 2.2.x, without doing a forum search BEFORE you download and install?

I hate 2.2.3 - I had endless problems with blocks while using it. I suggest that people DO NOT upgrade from 2.0.13.2 until there is a decent version of 2.3
