Hello Minkras

I'm sure something is missing here but this is what I have been doing.
1. Click Add to Main
2. New block appears
3. Click move
4. Try to drag it around
5. Block does not follow (like it showed in one of the videos)
6. Click "Save Positioning" at top of page.
7. Block stays where it was.

Is it because I was on the home page that this procedure didn't work"?

Thanks Mnkras and jordanlev. You both were on target...It was, indeed, a problem with the IE9 browser.

Turned on Chrome and blocks move around fine.

There's a known bug with IE9, I'm guessing that's what you're using. Until the next version of C5 is released, the only workaround is to use a different browser (firefox, chrome, etc.) when editing sites :(

If you need to fix this before the next version of C5 is released, I found a "hotfix" you can add to your theme's header to address this problem:

Thanks Jordan for the update.

Could you give me a little coaching on how I go about adding the hotfix to my theme's header?

I'd be glad to. What theme are you using?
Do you know where the theme files are located on your server?
Do you know what I mean when I say "header file"?

(It's okay if you don't know the answers -- I just need to know where you're at so I can explain everything properly).

BTW, I answered this question with a few more details here:

Hello Jordan,

Guess I don't know where Theme Files or the Header are located so I'll have to start from scratch.

Not a problem -- please tell me which theme you're using and I can tell you exactly where the files are that you need to modify.
(I need to know which theme you're using because each one is built differently and may have different files in different places).

Hello Jordan

I am presently using Plain Yogurt...the default theme.

Okay, edit this file:

YOURSITE/concrete/themes/default/elements/header.php

...and just below this line:

<?php  Loader::element('header_required'); ?>

...add this:

<script>// HOTFIX: We can't upgrade to jQuery UI 1.8.6 (yet)
// This hotfix makes older versions of jQuery UI drag-and-drop work in IE9
(function($){var a=$.ui.mouse.prototype._mouseMove;$.ui.mouse.prototype._mouseMove=function(b){if($.browser.msie&&document.documentMode>=9){b.button=1};a.apply(this,[b]);}}(jQuery));</script>
