There is no mention of configuring the Block tpl file in the instructions?
I am building a new site and would really like to have this functionality.

What am I doing wrong

[block:menu-success=0]

This is the menu for success

[block:success=0]

[block:menu-content]

This is a great idea, thanks for all who have contributed.

Regards
Ron

block.tpl.php? Are you trying to include the Insert Block tag in your block.tpl.php file? That's not going to work.

Insert Block tags are intended for use in node content areas (or other places where Drupal's input formats are used).

The README.txt is a great place to get info on the module's usage: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/insert_bloc...

Actually I was trying to insert a Menu block in to a page. The module works fine for everything but menu blocks. when I switched to Jquerymenu it's blocks work fine.

I was striving for a portal look, where the first page of a section would have a descriptor of what's happening in that section, and a dynamic list of the menu for that section.

I am clueless as to why menu blocks don't work! but the advantage of the Jquerymenu are compelling for creating a low maintenance product.

Thanks for responding.

Title: I have tried all of these but nothing displays » Displaying inserted blocks

I don't know if this helps, but you do need to have "insert filter block" ticked after you have installed the insert_block module.
There is no mention of this in the README.TXT about the module's usage.

Administer » Site configuration » Input formats

Otherwise, all you will see is:

[block:aggregator=feed-1]

where you are expecting to see your block.

Hope this helps.

See also #359088: Use theme_block() to render blocks. As the module currently stands block.tpl.php would not be used. If that patch gets implemented (as it should), then block.tpl.php would be used. However, I can't envision why more than a passing mention of that template is necessary.

OMG.

This needs to be in the effing readme / help.

I've been looking for this for an hour. (Thanks BTW :-D)

PS - D7:

It's already there.

From README.txt:

9 INSTALLATION
10 ------------
11 You may want to read the PERFORMANCE NOTE, below, before installing.
12
13 To install Insert Block, drop it into your modules folder and turn it on.
14 Then enable the Insert Block filter for the input formats in which you want
15 to use Insert Block tags. To do this, click the configure link for an input
16 format at /admin/settings/filters and then enable the filter.

Glad you found this thread and got it worked out.

Do you have to do this in d8? that is enable the insert block filter for input format? If so how do you do it in Drupal 8. Thanks.
