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'm having the same issue. I'm running my install on XAMP locally. The controller.php has the same class name as the folder basic_test = BasicTestBlockController.. not sure what to do and I cant find any other solutions here. Help?

Try that:
rename the default tablename in the controller.php to something else:

protected $btTable = 'btBasicTest'


... and set the new tablename in db.xml in the table node

<table name="btBasicTest">


Hope that helps.
