4 sites 2 do not show latest member site info block

This is a weird one which is driving me nuts.

I have four sites all built within 2 or 3 weeks of each other using your V7 distro.

All of them have your Site Info block activated but only two of them show the latest member, the other two have a blank space.

I feel it must be something to do with the db but all were created the same way with your distro sql file.

They all use the same theme -fiapple.

I am at my wits end here.

PS I notice your site info block here has

when you hover over the latest member whereas the block in your distro has

I know this is not the problem just mentioning it for interest's sake.

Addressing your PS/Hover question: I have GT (Google Tap) - The distro does not.

Are you, perchance, using the Random Photo Block on the sites having the problem?

Yes, Raven, I am using the Random Photo Block from Coppermine.

And that's the problem/solution! I turned off the RPB and Latest Member is back.

How does that happen?

I would NEVER in a million years have worked that one out.

Is there a fix for it? I have tried a couple of other Site/Visitor blocks and they don't seem to be affected the same way but I prefer yours.

Cheers,
Ron.....

As I said in that thread, my guess is that there is a like named variable collision. I haven't had time to look into it.

Found the thread. Sorry about that.

I don't have much luck with the phpbb search function. It seems you have to know the answer when you ask your questions.

Thanks for you help.

I plan on incorporating a much smarter search engine. It will be based on fuzzy logic matches, of course!
