First of all, I am sorry if this is a repost of a previously posted issue, but I searched and did not find any issues related to this.

My configuration:

  1. I am using Drupal 6.12 with all the latest updates.
  2. My selected theme is Salamander 11:
    http://drupal.org/project/salamander
    http://drupal.org/project/salamanderskins

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. If the i18nblocks module is enabled, certain blocks disappear. The ones that disappear are above and below the content region. The primary and secondary menu are shown without problems.

    2. Please view the attached screenshots.

  2. If the i18nblocks module is disabled, the hidden blocks are shown again.

Steps attempted to resolve issue:

  1. I have edited the blocks that dissapear when enabling the i18nblocks module, and without making any changes, I save the block again. Just to make sure things are refreshed or saved properly on the db. Still nothing.
  2. I have tried to create one of the custom blocks from scratch, just to see if existing blocks are not compatible with the i18nblocks module, but it still won't show up.

Summary

I would appreciate any assistance. If more information is required to solve my issue, please do not hesitate to ask.

The module, i18nblocks does some theme overrides. So it may be an issue with the specific theme you are using...?

Hello José,

What would be a good theme to test the module?

Regards,
Omar

I just configured the same blocks for other themes: Garland, Minelli, and bluemarine. But when I enabled the module and those themes, the same blocks continue to disappear.

If I understand the issue, you mean when enabling i18nblocks some regions just don't show up but others display ok?
All these core themes don't define that regions so I don't get what you tried with them.

Anyway we won't be fighting issues for specific themes here, so maybe try some other contrib theme that defines more regions. If you can tell me something like "i18n breaks themes that define aditional regions" I'll look into it.

Btw, some other contrib modules (context, spaces) also use these same theme functions so these modules are just not compatible with i18nblocks.

I had the same problem. Having enabled the i18n module, along with the Block translate module among others, all of my blocks in the left and right regions have disappeared.

Just as with the original poster, disabling i18nblocks results in the blocks reappearing. But unlike the original poster, the regions where the blocks are disappearing are ones defined in core themes: left sidebar and right sidebar.

I was able to solve this bug by running update.php after upgrading to Drupal 6.14.

See if your logs tell of Illegal mix of collations in which case that might be the cause of the problem.
