Cant add blocks

Regular Joined: Dec 18, 2003 Posts: 53 Location: Worldwide

Im in admin/blocks right now... I tried to install the Sentinel block to the bottom center, but it didn't show up so I tried again - it still didn't show up - so i tried installing some other blocks. Nothing new shows up. I added a new block last night before sentinel, so Im gussing it has to do with one of my settings.

Thank you

Make a backup of your database.
Drop the nuke_blocks table
Recreate it by running this sql
CREATE TABLE nuke_blocks (
bid int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment,
bkey varchar(15) NOT NULL default '',
title varchar(60) NOT NULL default '',
content text NOT NULL,
url varchar(200) NOT NULL default '',
bposition char(1) NOT NULL default '',
weight int(10) NOT NULL default '1',
active int(1) NOT NULL default '1',
refresh int(10) NOT NULL default '0',
time varchar(14) NOT NULL default '0',
blanguage varchar(30) NOT NULL default '',
blockfile varchar(255) NOT NULL default '',
view int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
expire varchar(14) NOT NULL default '0',
action char(1) NOT NULL default '',
subscription int(1) NOT NULL default '0',
PRIMARY KEY (bid),
KEY bid (bid),
KEY title (title)
) TYPE=MyISAM;

You can add the default block values
INSERT INTO nuke_blocks VALUES (1, '', 'Modules', '', '', 'l', 1, 1, 0, '', '', 'block-Modules.php', 0, '0', 'd', 0);
INSERT INTO nuke_blocks VALUES (2, 'admin', 'Administration', '<big>·</big> <a href="admin.php">Administration</a> \r\n<big>·</big> <a href="admin.php?op=adminStory">NEW Story</a> \r\n<big>·</big> <a href="admin.php?op=create">Change Survey</a> \r\n<big>·</big> <a href="admin.php?op=content">Content</a> \r\n<big>·</big> <a href="admin.php?op=logout">Logout</a>', '', 'l', 2, 1, 0, '985591188', '', '', 2, '0', 'd', 0);
INSERT INTO nuke_blocks VALUES (3, '', 'Who\'s Online', '', '', 'l', 3, 1, 0, '', '', 'block-Who_is_Online.php', 0, '0', 'd', 0);
INSERT INTO nuke_blocks VALUES (4, '', 'Search', '', '', 'l', 4, 0, 3600, '', '', 'block-Search.php', 0, '0', 'd', 0);
INSERT INTO nuke_blocks VALUES (5, '', 'Languages', '', '', 'l', 5, 1, 3600, '', '', 'block-Languages.php', 0, '0', 'd', 0);
INSERT INTO nuke_blocks VALUES (6, '', 'Random Headlines', '', '', 'l', 6, 0, 3600, '', '', 'block-Random_Headlines.php', 0, '0', 'd', 0);
INSERT INTO nuke_blocks VALUES (8, 'userbox', 'User\'s Custom Box', '', '', 'r', 1, 1, 0, '', '', '', 1, '0', 'd', 0);
INSERT INTO nuke_blocks VALUES (9, '', 'Categories Menu', '', '', 'r', 2, 0, 0, '', '', 'block-Categories.php', 0, '0', 'd', 0);

INSERT INTO nuke_blocks VALUES (14, '', 'Information', ' <center>\r\n<a href="http://phpnuke.org"><img src="images/powered/powered5.jpg" border="0" alt="Powered by PHP-Nuke" title="Powered by PHP-Nuke" width="88" height="31"></a>\r\n \r\n<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check/referer"><img src="images/html401.gif" width="88" height="31" alt="Valid HTML 4.01!" title="Valid HTML 4.01!" border="0"></a>\r\n \r\n<a href="http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator"><img src="images/css.gif" width="88" height="31" alt="Valid CSS!" title="Valid CSS!" border="0"></a></center> ', '', 'r', 7, 1, 0, '', '', '', 0, '0', 'd', 0);

Or even you old ones but no doubt something is buggered in your old data.

I found the problem... a note for you guys that find your own problems, don't just say you found it, tell us what you found, cause a lot of things go unanswered....

After doing what you said, still it didnt work. So I looked on a couple of other sites, mainly codezwiz.com - a couple of other people had this same problem before... there were a couple of fixes to it - NONE of which had to do with Sentinel - I presumed since i just installed it, that - THAT was the problem - It was not!

Somehow overnight my admin/blocks.php got messed up on the server. I uploaded it again, and everything is working fine.....

admin - you may want to move this post to General phpnuke help

Thank you all for helping me.
Your a great bunch of guys even if you are ancient... but then again my little cousin says *I* am old and I'm gonna be 15 soon Razz

Hmn guess ya wouldn't believe me if I said I was 12 then huh? But yep based on the info you gave me it was either the data or the files I went with the most frequent issue first. Files were the next and less likely issue. Glad you worked it out. Ancient yikesgive me a feakin complex will ya! Middle aged maybe Ancient Grr!
