[¿Bug?] Global Blocks Aren't Shown In The Portal
-----------------------------------
Hello again..
I'm using 3 columns template, i added some global blocks and enabled the option to show them in 3 columns template but the global blocks aren't shown in the portal. If i enable them to a standart page (such forum.php), it works perfectly.

Thanks.

I have all global blocks working fine.

Please check again CMS settings, and also make sure your cache is empty! :mricy:

Yeah, now it is working well... But... I put Dynamic Menu As Global Block, and enabled it in "3 Columns" template, but now, tha Dynamic Menu is shown behind the other blocks (which aren't global)...

It's easy to get lost in this vast beast of a CMS. :)

CMS -> CMS Management -> CMS Pages

Find your home page, mine is listed as 3_Columns although it's really a 2_Column page.

Un-tick the box for GLOBAL.  This will remove Global Blocks from that page.

This should take care of the problem.

So you want your 3 Column page to look like 3 Columns, not 4 Columns, right?

If so, remove global blocks from your home page and just create whatever blocks you want on your home page.  You'll have only 3 Columns this way.

You could also remove or disable all blocks on your homepage, but make sure Global Blocks are enabled on that page.  Then you could add the blocks you want visible everywhere to your Global Blocks page.  Any block you set as global will appear everywhere.

I just want that the "hide" option of the dynamic menu works jeje... I think i will use the page blocks instead... the bug is solved in 1.3..

[u]I believe[/u] the option to hide/show the Dynamic Menu works only for left global blocks.

Did I skip this post?  If so, sorry. :(

When you say "upper", do you mean you want global blocks positioned [b]above[/b] all the other blocks?

I just want that the global blocks are positioned as a normal block in the left side, but, dynamic Menu is positioned alone in the left side, and in the "next column" are the other blocks..

Re: [¿Bug?] Global Blocks Aren't Shown In The Portal

If you want the same blocks, as far as the left side goes, on all your pages, enable global blocks on every page you want them shown.  Then add blocks globally.  This way your site is kind of uniform as far as the left side is concerned.

I still feel I'm not totally understanding you.  That isn't your fault, but more of mine.  I promise we'll land on common ground and nip this in the bud!

Yeah, it is the result that i want.. But, imagine that you don't want some of the main page blocks in every page. Instead of that, you just need one global block, and in your main page, you want more...
I want to "merge" the left Global Blocks, with the left Main Page blocks..

Unfortunately at the moment it is not possible to merge them on CMS pages, because CMS pages have their own positions.

I will think about that... but I cannot assure I will make it possible.
