Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi All,
Who can help me. I have created 3 custom blocks in my full.php template. I can ad blocks onsite but i can not delete them. If i delete them the disappear but when i save and publish the blocks are still visible on the site. I am still new to php so i can not fix this... I have tried to make all cases unique, the divs are unique etc.

<body>
<div id="main_back">
<div id="main_inner">
<div id="content">
<?php
$a = new Area('Main');
$a->display($c);
?>
</div>
<div id="content2">
<?php
$f = new Area('Main2');
$f->display($c);
?>
</div>Viewing 15 lines of 28 lines. View entire code block.
Try changing $f and $g to $a
had that in the first case, thought that was the problem because they were all te same. Tried to delete the blocks. in both cases they wont delete.
Have you cleared the cache..
In fact if you are still building your site, I would recommend turning off all caching
Cache is turned off, but to be sure cleared the cache anyway, does not do it...
Does your theme have a separate footer.php file as I see some problems with you calling the footer in the last few lines of your code?
Assuming you do have a footer.php file try this code
<body>
<div id="main_back">
<div id="main_inner">
<div id="content">
<?php
$a = new Area('New Area One');
$a->display($c);
?>
</div>
<div id="content2">
<?php
$a = new Area('New Area Two');
$a->display($c);
?>
</div>Viewing 15 lines of 24 lines. View entire code block.
Thanks for the answer, unfortunately it did not work, when using that code i was not able to add blocks either. I have a footer, it is required. But i have deleted the line because it does not seem to do anything because my footer.php is empty. (i dont understand why it is required...)
But the blocks still wont delete
<?php $this->inc('elements/footer.php'); ?>
But the blocks still wont delete
What theme are you using?
I am using a custom theme, two pagetypes, 2 css, 1 view, 1 default. I took an c5 theme and ajusted it.
Can you zip your theme and send it to me on a private message, I will take a look for you.

Be careful with all the footer stuff.
Loader::element('footer_required')
is not the same thing as
$this->inc('elements/footer.php')
They may look the same but they are not. The 'Loader' function loads core functionality such as the Edit Bar. DO NOT remove this line.
The '$this->inc...' code includes the 'footer.php' file from inside your theme's "elements" folder. You might break your page if you delete this line because the 'footer.php' file often contains HTML that completes the structure of the page.
What C5 theme did you base your custom theme on?

Did not know that, thanks! Then it is best to keep both thoses lines in the template i guess, the only line in the footer is:
I cant remember the base theme i have modified, i believe it was Pinstripe but i am not sure... There is nothing in the theme that is original anymore.

Is there a live URL we could have a look at?

There appears to be some serious structural problems with this theme.
1) You are calling the core jquery.js, twice.
2) You have HTML inside your <head> section.
3) You have META data outside (below) your <head> section.
The 'deal breaker' is the double loading of jquery.js. This always breaks things.
As weyboat mentioned, it would be helpful to have your entire theme zipped up and posted here so we can have a look at it's structure.

i have sent the theme zipped to you and to Weyboat

I have sent you a modded version for you to test, let us know how you get on..
I have also done the same. You didn't mention in your PM to me that you had asked weyboat as well. I didn't notice this until I returned to this forum. Perhaps next time you can request help from only one person at a time so that we are not duplicating each other's efforts.
Hi Weyboat,thank you so much for helping me,
I have uploaded your entire zipfile, unfortunately it does not resolve my problem, the blocks are still not deleting.

I added your modded theme to a new install on my dev server (wamp) and I found I could add blocks and delete them with no problems?
Some questions... Could this be a permissions thing?
Are you using Advanced Permissions?
Are you logging in as the SuperUser or just a member of the 'Administrators' group.
Check your server logs for any errors.
Check "Dashboard->System and Settings -> Logging Settings" to make sure you are logging errors.
Check "Dashboard->System and Settings -> Debug Settings" to make sure you are showing errors on the page and not hiding them.
Before you try to delete a block, right-click on the page and choose 'Inspect Element' and look at the 'Console' tab for any errors.
After you try to delete a block, right-click on the page and choose 'Inspect Element' and look at the 'Console' tab for any errors.
After you delete a block, right-click on the page and choose 'View Source' to see if there are any 'fatal' PHP error messages buried in the page, probably near the bottom.

i will look into this, thanks!
Can it be this error? it says jquery...
Hi Both, thanks so much for helping me and sorry if i was unclear about you both helping me with the theme. Both the versions you have modified did not do the trick. Ik think it is best to do a new C5 install, perhaps it is somethings els i've f*ck#ed up...
I am very greatfull to both of you but if Weyboat has no problems deleting blocks it must be something outside of the theme that is breaking down. I will use your tips on my theme to make it better and i will keep you posted after i installed c5 again.
thanks again!

Hi Weyboat,
I made a copy of the full site and database and cloned it on a diffirent URL. No Problems, able to delete evnery block. So i deleted the root site and made a new clone from the other url back to the root.
Bur when the new clone was placed on the root site again, the block wouldn't delete anymore... very strange.
At last i know now that i have to make a fully new install of C5.
Thanks for your effort in helping me out.

Check the permissions on your root folders. I believe most of the folders need to be set to 755.
Thanks again!
But the problem was relativily easy... The .htacces had an interfering rule that blocked deleting te blocks. So i edited the htaccess and now it suddenly works...
