Hello all, and Happy Easter.
I just had a quick questions about creating a block to display the latest posts in my discussion forum.
I went into Blocks and created a new one using "Dizkus forums/Dizkus recent posts" and went into the settings for the block. The template being used is "dizkus_centerblock_display.html" and the parameters I put in was "maxposts=2,forum_id=1".
Unfortunately, in the block on the home page it says "No Posts" even though there have been a couple of new posts in the past little while. The "Go To Forum" link also points to the main Dizkus forum, rather than to the forum that I set up. I would like to change that as well.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I changed the parameters back to the default of "maxposts=5" and it's still not showing up... any suggestions?

Have you tried clearing your cache? -

Hi Michael, I hope you had a great Easter.
I cleared the site cache and my browser cache (secretly hoping that it wasn't something that simple) and it's still not working.
I have installed Feeds 2.5 to my site in hopes that it would resolve the issue but that didn't happen.

Anyone? Feeds isn't the solution. I tried adding cat_id=1 and forum_id=1 to the Parameters for the block and it still didn't work. Any suggestions?

Have you updated to the latest Zikula (1.2.7) and Dizkus (3.1) versions?
Or are there any old Dizkus plugins/templates around?
I tried adding and editing the center block over at the demo and it just did what it was supposed to do - show the last 2,3 or 5 postings from the selected forums.

Hello Sascha,
I am indeed using Zikula 1.2.7 and Dizkus 3.1. I tried deleting the block and adding a new one and it's doing the same thing. I tried it in the center column as opposed to the left and it's doing the same thing.
You said that you edited the center block (presumably dizkus_centerblock_display.html) and I was wondering what changes you made. I also tried the different files for layout (dizkus_centerblock_display.html, dizkus_centerblock_display2.html and dizkus_centerblock_display3.html) also with no success.

you should check your theme and the config directory for overrides that might be in use. -

Hi Craig,
It doesn't look like there are any overrides. I checked the page configuration for the "master.ini" file and everything was set to "Default Module" with that as the only option.

I'm using the latest topic block on the site in my signature and it works as expected. I just check the block configuration and all I have for parameters is
maxposts=15
I've got the template dizkus_centerblock_display.html over-ridden in my theme, here it is.
dizkus_centerblock_display.html
Note to forum admins: had to link to this because every time I use the quote or code buttons to quote template contents I get a JSON error and the page crashes my browser.

I removed the "forum_id=1" parameter and cleared the cache and still have the same problem. What do I change in "dizkus_centerblock_display.html" to override the theme?

Just place your custom dizkus_centerblock_display.html into the directory
/themes/YourTheme/templates/modules/Dizkus
while you are clearing your cache make sure you are also deleting compiled templates in theme settings and also the rendering system.
/index.php?module=pnrender&type=admin
Just for kicks you could check the boxes in theme setup
x Check for updated version of templates
x Force templates re-compilation
and in pnRender settings
x Compile check
x Force compilation
and turn off all caching.

I tried that and it still didn't work. I'm not going to worry about it too much for now, it's not urgent. I think I'm just going to wait until I upgrade to 1.3.0. Thanks for your help everyone.
