dashboard doesn't recognize new blocks

Permalink
I can't get new blocks to show up in the dashboard for installation. I've tried the demo block in the developers download section, a modified HTML block, and a straight-up copy of the HTML block. I've uploaded to the /block folder and the /concrete/block folder. Nothing shows up in the Add Functionality section of the dashboard. Can't find any solution anywhere on the forums.

Someone suggested it was because the class name in controller.php had to match the folder name. I changed it to match, but it still doesn't work. Surely someone else has had this problem?

I've had this issue a few times, particularly with blocks I've created—which are usually just duplicated versions of other blocks with minor modifications (because I am not a PHP programmer and am just dipping into it). However I've been able to install blocks from others just fine, so there is something that has to be missing in what I'm doing.

Hadn't thought of this before, though I should have—make sure you upload your blocks in the /blocks/ directory, and not the /concrete/blocks/ directory. If you install it into the core concrete directory, that might be or contribute to the problem.

anything you're getting from the marketplace should be added to the /package directory not directly to blocks
