Post subject: New CMS block looses variable option.

After creating a new block, adding it through CMS, and setting the control variables, it works/displays as expected, but when I go back to edit the block there is no longer any option to change my variables ... just says No block variable to be configured, click on SUBMIT to save this block.

Powered by Icy Phoenix 1.1.0.15

Am I leaving something out ?

Code: [Hide] [Select]

$block_variables = array(

	array('Number of recent classifieds', 'number of classifieds displayed', 'md_num_recent_classifieds_marquee', '', '', '1', 'recent_classifieds_marquee', '10'),

 array('Recent Classifieds Style', 'choose static display or scrolling display', 'md_recent_classifieds_marquee_style', 'Static,Scroll', '0,1', '3', 'recent_classifieds_marquee', '1')

);

Are not we working with build 027a?

Why you put the "Powered by Icy Phoenix 1.1.0.15"?

Because I'm using 1.1.0.15 .... I'll get around to updating one of these days. Honest I will

Do you know if this was a problem that was corrected ?

Hey my friend... you are not supposed to ask support here. You are admin.

I'm kidding...

Can you try to send me that block please?

Can you check that the vars are correctly added into the DB?

They should be into phpbb_cms_block_variable.

Thanks MG
I looked there before but after closer examination I noticed one of my variable names was not correct.
The character limit is set to 30 and the variable name I used exceeded this.
I shortened the name and it works like intended.

Wow... I didn't know that.

Thanks for pointing that out.
