Well, this is a theme issue. I can't tell you what to put in there but our theme experts will be able to help you out. This post should be moved into the 3rd party themes forum so they will notice it.

Anyhow, all I really know is that the reason it's showing in one theme and not the other is that the theme not showing it, is not calling that portion of the block. Maybe someone can tell you where exactly that should be located. Sorry that's the only insight I can give you. Possibly a search on "theme not showing admin block" or something.

Did you try to put HTML in the admin message and miss a closing tag?

As you can see, http://www.golgappay.com/cheetah3x/index.php?theme=PostNuke works fine with the right blocks and a bold message saying "testing"

So I suppose what I am saying is, did you close the bold tag?

Scrub that - found it, its in the code, have a look at

Code
$custom_module['News'] = array (
//Module specific template file names
'main' => "theme.html",
'leftblock' => "leftblock.html",
'centerblock' => "centerblock.html",
'rightblock' => "rightblock.html",
//Module specific Nuclei blocks template file names (*optional)
'area1block' => "area1block.html",
'area2block' => "area2block.html",
'area3block' => "area3block.html",
'area4block' => "area4block.html",
'area5block' => "area5block.html",
'area6block' => "area6block.html",
'area7block' => "area7block.html",
'area8block' => "area8block.html",
'area9block' => "area9block.html",
'topblock' => "topblock.html",
'bottomblock' => "bottomblock.html",
//Block display for this module
'left' => true,
'center' => false,
'right' => false,
//Nuclei blocks (*optional)
'area1' => false,
'area2' => false,
'area3' => false,
'area4' => false,
'area5' => false,
'area6' => false,
'area7' => false,
'area8' => false,
'area9' => false,
'top' => false,
'bottom' => false,

You need to change

Code
//Block display for this module
'left' => true,
'center' => false,
'right' => false,

to

Code
//Block display for this module
'left' => true,
'center' => true,
'right' => true,

And that should fix it :)

Code
$block_display = array (
//Display blocks on all pages
'left' => true,
'center' => false,
'right' => false,
//Nuclei blocks (*optional)
'area1' => false,
'area2' => false,
'area3' => false,
'area4' => false,
'area5' => false,
'area6' => false,
'area7' => false,
'area8' => false,
'area9' => false,
'top' => false,
'bottom' => false,
);

False to true again....

i did this ! and now login and voes poll come ! but the problem now is that "admin msg" shows up on top , even when iclick on forums it stays!

remember u helped with a problem with xtheme, where admin msg was staying on top...
if i change

'center' => false,
'right' => false,

then login, and vote poll comes, but the admin msg stays, and if i make them to TRUE , then admin msg doesnt stay! but then i dont see the LOGIN box

i know im reallt bugging you but this is driving me crazy

Hi there,

What we have to do is create a seperate template for the index page (homepage) which will have center and right blocks visable and another theme for the rest which will only have left blocks visable.

First make a copy of theme.html and save it as themeIndex.html

now we are going to change this line of theme.cfg :

Code
if($index != 1) {
//
$custom_module['News'] = array (
//Module specific template file names
'main' => "theme.html",

To this :

Code
if($index == 1) { // take notice of the equals signs!
//
$custom_module['News'] = array (
//Module specific template file names
'main' => "themeIndex.html",

Now change this :

Code
$template = array (
//Main theme template file names
'main' => "theme.html",
'summary' => "summary.html",
//Alternating Summary article templates
//'summary1' => "summary1.html",
//'summary2' => "summary2.html",
//
'article' => "article.html",
'leftblock' => "leftblock.html",
'centerblock' => "centerblock.html",
'rightblock' => "rightblock.html",
//Nuclei blocks template file names (*optional)
'area1block' => "area1block.html",
'area2block' => "area2block.html",
'area3block' => "area3block.html",
'area4block' => "area4block.html",
'area5block' => "area5block.html",
'area6block' => "area6block.html",
'area7block' => "area7block.html",
'area8block' => "area8block.html",
'area9block' => "area9block.html",
'topblock' => "topblock.html",
'bottomblock' => "bottomblock.html",
);

$block_display = array (
//Display blocks on all pages
'left' => true,
'center' => true,
'right' => true,

to this (your only changing from true to false!)

Code
//Display blocks on all pages
'left' => true,
'center' => false,
'right' => false,

Should work now :)

Kindest regards
Lobos
