Title: Board News block - problem
Post by: landyvlad on January 28, 2017, 08:54:24 am
So I added the board news ezblock as the top block on the forum home page.  In the EZblock manager it shows as "10"in the order.
There are no other top blocks on that page (or indeed anywhere in the forum).

I have an HTML centre EZ block on the home page as well . In the manager it shows as "20"

So as far as I can see I have set up both, activated both, saved both etc.
BUT only the html block appears on the page.


To complicate matters I then tried adding it to the centre section - where it (or at least the title bar) is showing.
So for some reason - works in the centre block, but not the top block.

Also does the news block just reflect any postings in the selected forums? How does it work?

OK so the second Board News block I added in the centre section seems to work.

I have tried installing other blocks into the top section but NONE of these show.

Is there a setting I;m missing somewhere?

Make sure the top column is enabled by editing the column

Seems to be.

Now I have another problem or two

1.
Facebook like is shown as disabled.
Like buttons are still appearing.

2. Board News block is not taking up the space that would ordinarily hold the right hand side column, on the home (forum portal) page.  I have all the RHS blocks NOT visible for that page. The board news should be (and was) full-width,  I've changed nothing that would affect this, as far as I know.

Actually do you mean the COLUMN or each block.
I can't see where to toggle a column on/off ?

OK this is too freaking weird. I closed out then came back in to my forum admin. FB likes was shiown as active, so I unticked it.  That had the effect of removing the FB likes button AND it went back to fullscreen width.  What the?
