Post subject: WoW10 Ravennuke Block Issue

Greetings all! I am looking to get some help on putting up the phpbb forum multi-block on the main page of my site to show the last 5 forums posts. For some reason it appears that I cannot add my custom blocks - for whatever reason. Below is a screen shot of what I can add.

Am I trying to add the new blocks the incorrect way in Ravennuke, or is there something wrong with my DB??

Thanks in advance.

As far as I know you just upload the block php file to the blocks folder in the root of the site.
I will test it out on my Raven 2.3 site and see if there is anything special that needs to be done.

Interesting. All I am trying to do is to show the latest 8 forum posts. :/ I can't find the multi-block option for the phpbb forums in RavenNuke. Is it suppose to be done in another way? I'm too used to post nuke. ><

You need to download the block and then upload it to the blocks folder on the site.
It will then show up in that dropdown list.

Here is the block I tend to use on my test sites
http://www.portalthemes.com/downloads/b ... Center.zip

Unzip that, then upload the php file to the blocks folder on your site.

I did as instructed and this is what happened to site:

I put it as center block - down. Language - all.

Coding error?

Try it as a center up, not sure why it did that to you though.
I will test it again tonight on my 2.3 site as well.

I tried it as Center-Top - still same issue I'm afraid. Sad

Yeah it seems that block isn't 2.3 compatible. Sad

Crap. Do you know of any mods or other blocks that can be installed that will offer similar options as yours? I would really like to display the previous posts.
