Description
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.

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.
