Custom Feed Blocks not using their existing Templates

[Morrigan]

I have been a little AWOL for the last year and so I haven't upgraded a lot recently. I went ahead and did an upgrade from 4.6.9 to 4.6.11 beta 1 to settle down and get looking around.

I fixed my template issue with global template but once that was resolved I noted that none of my blocks (which all use customized templates) are using their code in any way shape or form which is totally screwing up a lot of things.

(Please note this is with the default theme but even here I shouldn't see half of this information) With its custom template it should look something like this:

 

What it appears to be doing on all of my custom record feed templates is just outputting the default feed template which is recordrow.

 

• I've cleared site cache.
• I've re-saved the block with its custom code.
• I have verified that the code is correct in the block settings.

Not sure where to go from here. Thanks.

Is this on a live installation we can take a look at? If so, could you please let me know the block name and ensure that your access details are up to date in the client area?

[Morrigan]

Yes. Updated my password just in case it was out of date.

That one in particular is 3 blocks within a block so it may be easier to look at recent-news block which should be a carousel but if you want to look at the specifically screenshotted ones:

Outer block: {block="requests-station"}
Inner blocks:

{block="find-an-rpg"}
{block="writing-partner-search"}
{block="find-a-character-home"}

 

For reference if you want to choose the easier one:
What it should look like:

What it does look like:

 

I put both sets of blocks on a test page for you:
https://rpginitiative.com/test/

So that you can view it in the IPS Support Theme which is my uncustomized theme. Things will disappear as there is a lot of CSS that goes into both but I determined it doesn't have the code because on the front end in Developer Tools they just don't exists.

 

Thanks @Jim M

I've moved this to a ticket as I do see that something is not quite right here. You will receive an email with further communication about this issue.

[Morrigan]

Can I get an update? Apologize but gmail isn't loading I'll assume political reasons. 48 hours is a long time from IPS with no response.

[Marc Stridgen]

Your ticket was escalated to a higher tier of support. So it will take some time for it to be addressed

I can confirm this happening to all custom blocks on localhost and a fresh upgraded test site.

Hate to piggy-back off this thread, but would this keep Custom Block with simple code from appearing completely? I've been trying to figure out why some of my custom blocks with html/php are not showing at all.

I have a simple Custom Block with simple link & image code.  The block will not show up on either my custom theme or the default IPS theme.

Block Name:

@Dazz My issue is specific to feed blocks. Custom blocks seem to be working just fine.

[Stuart Silvester]

This issue was specific to the 4.6.11 beta. It has been fixed for the final release.

Thank you Stu!
