is there a URL we can look at?

it sounds like perhaps some of the google analytics code is getting in the way - but that's odd.

yeah the section its in ishttp://www.alexdemora.com/index.php/portfolio/...

and the pages i want to add to are for example
http://www.alexdemora.com/index.php?cID=170...

BUT i've experimented with other pages and sections and its just happening when there is no block in place and only goes blank when i try to add a new one....

thanks

in the source of that page you have two chunks of javascript to call google analytics.. kill those for now and see if that fixes the problem. if we we can figure out where/how to add em back later.

this stuff

<p>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
// --></script>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-9963795-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}
// --></script>
</p>

it's not part of the template. is there perhaps a code block you put on the page to get the analytics code in there?

in this page?

http://www.alexdemora.com/index.php/portfolio/...

yeah its added to EVERY page .... I can remove it from each one, but how would that fix adding to thishttp://www.alexdemora.com/index.php?cID=170...

again, please excuse my idiocy!

thanks

I'm just following process of elimination.

You say when it doesn't work, it says its trying to connect to google-analytics.com in the status bar. I say we get rid of that and see if it always works then. If so, we know what the problem is..

this shouldnt kill your analytics data, google will pick up when you add it back

zuul replied on Sep 28, 2009 at 3:59 pm Permalink Reply

so i've removed all the analytics tracking code from the site that I have found

still having the same problem

the problem happens on ANY page when i try to add ANY new block

please help!

before i thought you said it was only on certain pages in the sidebar.. now you're saying anypage, anywhere, you goto add a new block and you get an empty overlay...?

but edit on existing blocks works?

what do you see when you goto Dashboard > add Funtionality

what type & version of browser are you using?

after further investigation/frustration, it seems to be on all new blocks ... fine to edit existing ones.

all the analytics is gone so i'm really stumped

when i go to dashboard > add functionality i can see all the options of blocks

using firefox 3.5.3 on mac

ive tried in safari too

thanks

have you upgraded to 5.3.3?

are you running in simple or advanced permissions?
