Hi All,

I am unable to get anything showing up in a custom block with my 2.2.4 install. The block title is being displayed just fine. This is also happening with the miniCalender block from piCal0.8, however all other blocks seem to display fine.

I have checked all the things I can think of and although the content is in the database, the smarty debug option tells me that the content is empty (and it is not showing up in the block). This what I get from the Smarty Debug Console:

Array (5)
id => 21
typeid => 13
title => Custom1
content => empty
weight => 0

... and this is what is in the database:

instanceid: 21
bid: 13
options: a:2:{i:0;s:20:"Testing custom block";i:1;s:1:"H";}
title: Custom1
side: 1
weight: 0
visible: 1
bcachetime: 0

... Ideas Anyone???

I am getting very good at answering my own questions here...

well, I've only posted 2 and I've been the only one that has answered them... do I smell funny or something???

Anyway, problem solved after a couple of days of smashing my head against the wall... quite embarrasingly simple really. For some reason the templates for the custom block, theme block and a couple of others must not have installed when I installed Xoops. As a random act I decided to update my modules and after updating the system module, the templates must have installed and away I went... arrggghhh!!!

Still, the longer it takes to solve a problem the happier you are when you finally do... silver lining, cup half full, bright side of life... I'm sure you get the drift.

It was nice talking to myself... cya

lol, and thats the glory of the "bump"
