Block shows up on blocks page, but no content in sidebar

I've got the same problem: I've correctly created the view (the preview shows up the tag cloud). When I add the block to any region, it is not displayed.

Incidentally, I "solved" my problem by using "views cloud" module.

Same problem.

Same problem.

Same problem. I can see it in the view preview, but it does not show up in a block.

Same problem I think multiple vocabularies, wanting a tag cloud based on the vocabularies.

got views tagadelic module installed.

view sets up, shows results, enabled block but no block showing

Same exact problem here. Sigh. Looks great in the preview.

Same problem here. Some additional info:

Added a page view, works fine. Block views do not show up.

installed dev module and looked at page queries. Looks like views_tagadelic block query *is* being run, but nothing displays on the page.

FYI here is my view

$view = new view;
$view->name = 'tag_cloud';
$view->description = 'Tag Cloud';
$view->tag = 'Tag Cloud';
$view->view_php = '';
$view->base_table = 'node';
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default');

Selected vocab, which was missing, but even so, nothing shows up. Narrowed down code to theme.inc, around line 51:

if (empty($vars['output'])) {
$view->result= NULL;
}

If this code is commented out, block displays on both preview page and pages where block is supposed to be. Will do more digging another day - getting late here.

Looks from the way the code works like the intention of

if (empty($vars['output'])) {

was really

if (!empty($vars['output'])) {

The reason I think that is because at this point in the code $vars['output]' *is* empty unless there has been an error in the query, in which case it contains an error message.

I made the change in my code and all works as expected. Hope this helps.

Mike's fix worked for me also. I've tested it on several different views and created a few blocks. Thanks Mike.

Thanks... It worked fine for me also. I think it should be committed...

Just for reference, this also fixed a problem I was having with a views page not displaying when inside a page built with the Panels module.

Thanks for the fix!

Thanks for the fix. I've spend most of the day trying to figure this out on a D5->D6 upgraded site and just found this thread.

Hi,

same problem, and confirming that the fix from #11 works flawlessly.

Could we roll a proper patch and please get this into the next release?

Thanks & greetings,
-asb

Attached is the patch. It has been commited to the branch.

Agree that this makes the first stable release?

@indytechcook:

From my side there are no objections; with the fix from #11 the module works as advertised.

Greetings, -asb
