Can't add more blocks

Permalink
Is there a limit to the number of blocks I can add to a page? I have a downloads pagehttp://www.holfeldplastics.com/english/downloads/... and need to add another block for a new download but the grey area to add a block isn't there. If I delete two of the existing blocks the grey area comes back.
If there is a limit, am I able to increase it?

Which block are you using to display those?

There might be a block limit set in your area. Just check your page type.

Hi Rony
There seems to be, is there a way around it?

Just open the page type assigned to that page in a editor. And find the area, something like 
$a = new Area('Area Name');
$a->setBlockLimit(1);  
$a->display($c);


just remove the line $a->setBlockLimit(1); or increase the limit to more than 1.
$a = new Area('Area Name');
$a->setBlockLimit(5);  
$a->display($c);


Hope this helps!

I expect it was an email reply and that was his standard email signature.

Found this:

/** 
    * Sets the total number of blocks an area allows. Does not limit by type.
    */
   public function setBlockLimit($num) {
      $this->maximumBlocks = $num;
   }
   function setAttribute($attr, $val) {
      $this->attributes[$attr] = $val;
   }
   function getAttribute($attr) {
      return $this->attributes[$attr];
   }
   function disableControls() {
      $this->showControls = false;
   }
