Drupal 6.12
MySQL database 5.1.30
PHP 5.2.9

I have been installing 6.x-2.x-dev as an when updates are available. I have noticed that some of the blocks are missing i.e.:

Recent weblinks
Random weblinks
Popular weblinks

Weblinks block module is activated.

Not sure when this happened, probably about 1 week ago.

We had a bug around when RC-1 was released that caused none of the group listings to show. but that should be fixed in the latest version. Please check and make sure "Blocks by group" is either check or not checked in all groups that can though things off.

Thanks
Robert

Thanks. I can see the settings now.

I'm sure in previous dev releases this was just one setting i.e.:

1 block was created for All
Recent weblinks
Random weblinks
Popular weblinks

Now I have
Recent weblinks
Random weblinks
Popular weblinks

blocks for ALL GROUPS. See screenshot. Is this change by design?

That's what the "Blocks by Group" option does. Yes, it is by request. If you turn off all those checkboxes, it will go back to one block for all. If you only turn on some of them, you will only get blocks for the groups you select.

Which takes me back to my original problem.

With the group block settings unchecked I am still missing Recent weblinks, Random weblinks and Popular weblinks.

Unlesss I am missing something these 3 blocks are no longer available.

Jupiterchild,

I can't duplicate this issue. I went in and selected 3 groups and put a check next "Blocks by Group" The All groups disappeared as expects. I then went in and removed all checks next to "Blocks by Group" and although there was an error then were it is telling me the group by for every category was not getting created the all blocks reappeared.

Thanks
Robert

Update: Dang that was a sucky typo. I can't duplicate what jupiterchild is reporting as happening. Sorry Nancy.

I just rolled 6.x-2.0-rc2 so you don't have to use the -dev version.

Now updated to 6.x-2.0-rc2

Despite checking all the settings and following what Robert described at #5, the Random, Popular and Recent blocks still do not show.

Turn off all "Blocks by group." It shouldn't matter but make sure "Create block" is checked for at least one group.

There was a misplaced } when not using blocks per group. I just committed a fix to the -dev version.

In the mean time, turning on any group's "Create block" will bypass this problem.

#10 works. I now have the Random, Popular and Recent blocks showing again.

This is what I did:

1) In Weblinks Groups settings I unchecked all 'Blocks by group'
2) In Weblinks Group settings I checked 'Create a block' for 1 group
3) In Drupal Blocks - The Random, Popular and Recent blocks now show in 'Disabled blocks' and can be enabled.

Just as a test, I tried un-checking the single 'Create a block'. Once again the Random, Popular and Recent blocks were missing. So checking 1 'Create a block' in Weblink Group settings does matter. This does not seem very intuitive.

Thanks Robert and Nancy for all your help.

Update: #11 was posted while I was writing #12. This confirms what I had noted.

Yes, it is fixed now, and we decided to create a related issue.
