Devel block not visible

I got it to work but I had to check off "authenticated user" in the block to see it. I have the admin-role module installed so I only had the "admin" role checked off.

As super user though, I should have been able to see it.

Uncheck the admin role and it comes back. Uncheck all roles and it works.

Checking admin role disables access for the super user - nice.

Must be a bug in the admin-role module.

It affects any block I try to enable.

Now I find that having theme developer enabled blanks out the nav menu and the devel block.

Tried on Acquia Marina and Internet-Services-2 themes.

If I disable theme developer on the module page, the devel block appears.

If I then click in the devel block to enable theme developer, the block disappears.

Then I go into the modules page and the theme developer box is unchecked.

I have to check it and save and then uncheck it and save for the block to reappear.

I forgot I had the DHTML menu enabled.

Basically you can't have any of the javascript based menu add-ons, including the administration menu module, enabled otherwise they interfere with each other.

Turn 'em all off and devel works fine.

Doesn't seem like there's much devel can do about this, so marking fixed.

Automatically closed -- issue fixed for 2 weeks with no activity.

I'm having the same problem. If I enable the Devel module it does not get listed in 'Blocks' where I should be able to drag it from 'disabled' to one of my side bars.

I've even gone to the extent of removing all modules (except Devel) I have run update.php, flushed all caches, run cron and everything comes up clean - no errors whatsoever.

I go again into into modules where I have ONLY core optional, core required and Devel 6.x-1.18 that's all. I have unticked and saved configuration then re-ticked Devel and saved configuration and still nothing.

When I go into Blocks (In the Garland theme) I have:

Left Sidebar
Navigation
User login

Footer
Powered by Drupal

Disabled
Execute PHP
Primary Links
Secondary Links
Switch User
Syndicate
Who's Online
Who's New

And that's it. There simply isn't a 'Development' block listed. I've tried this with multiple themes and the Development block just simply isn't there. How is it possible I'm missing something when the Devel module is the only one insalled? Everything I can think of has been checked and re-checked and still the Development block can not, does not, and just WILL NOT appear!

I am not excluding the fact that I'm probably working too many hours at the moment, but to completely eliminate every conceivable possibility I'm even happy to provide anyone from Devel a temporary URL to this site with the Admin Username/Password and I'm pretty sure they will have as little success as I've had.

Having now stripped everything down to it's utter minimum all that is left for me to do now is to backup my site's theme and start the whole site again from scratch - The only problem here is - what happens when/if this happens again?

I'm new to PHP, but I've been a video games programmer for 16 years and I'm coming to believe that there must be a line of code in Drupal core that says "Make absolutely sure that nothing works without first making the developer bleed out the eyeballs with stress and exhaustion first..." - lol

You only have to look at the Drupal logo - The guy's head's gone blue! And not only that look at the eyes man look at the eyes!

I love Drupal really.

I have found the same and unistalled and re-installed Devel several times without success; Theme developer and other devel modules are available but not the main devel module; i.e. I cannot display in a block as it does nor appear in the list of blocks either enabled or disabled.

Subscribing. Same issue. Devel block is not even an option. I too am using Acquia Marina theme, or a bastardized version of it at least. I need the block to clear my cache.

The menu "Development" is active under the menus (admin/build/menu) so where is the block? It worked fine in D5 but when I made the switch to D6 is disappeared.

The old code managing the Devel block seems to have been intentionally removed in revision 1.248 to MAIN, replaced by a system that only appears to work for Drupal 7.

The revision comment: "use custom menu instead of a custom block. you will need to enable the 'development' block on admin/build/block page. still need to dynalically append querystrings to a couple menu items."

I run the October 14 6.x-1.x-dev version (not the very latest, haven't had the urge to update yet) and it works just fine for me. The Development block is there and it shows the Development menu wherever I put the block...

Try rebuilding menus, emptying the cache, and look in admin/build/block/list. If you have more than one theme, you'll need to enable the block for each one.

If you have trouble with 1.18, then try the -dev version.

I suspect this may be the problem for some people. It's bitten me in the past.

Make sure you are enabling the devel block for the theme you want. I use Rootcandy for my admin theme where I want the devel block to appear, BUT I have chosen the default theme for the block admin page so if I enable it there, it doesn't show up in Rootcandy. Select the theme you are enabling the block for, at the top of the block admin page.

Subscribing. Same problem here.
