I have some more issues with CT2 test 1 release 3 (lol, maybe time to go to an easier version scheme..) Winking Face

In any case, I enabled the Themes block, and now, after I disable it (shown in the list with a red dot next to it), it's still shown on the main page. If I then go to edit the theme block, it's already listed as not active. Forced a browser page refresh and it's still shown on the main page.

Also in the blocks management, the gfx images for up/down don't match their function. Clicking down tries to move it higher in priority.

Further, the block positions on the site don't seem to change. Right now I have the Poll block with priority 7, which I assume should put it at the bottom of the 'stack', but it's still in the middle.

Three notes:
-) The cache is only active for users that are not logged in
-) The new caching system will cache the entire output (including blocks) of a page to keep the CPU usage as low as possible
-) The cache will not update in real time, even if you add a new story.

Yes, I had enabled the cache. I've now disabled it and this 'solved' the blocks not showing up, or being in the wrong order, etc.

It'd be nice if posting a new story would flush the cache tho.

In any case, don't forget about the priority arrows having the opposite function. Smiling Face

Ok, I found out you need to clear the cookies and both features work now. Would be nice if CT cleared your cookies automatically for you when making changes. Barring that, it should tell you changes won't take effect until you clear the CT cookies. Hushed Face


Nope, something's still not right. On the main page, if I click on the breadcrumb for the site name or the news area, the blocks change position if you are not logged in. If you are logged in (at least as admin, as that's the only user I have), the order stays correct..

I notice in the blocks list in the admin CP there are two blocks listed with the same priority number. My list goes 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7. (two #1's and no number 5).

The issue still remains with the up/down arrows having the opposite functions. Smiling Face
