I like this module a lot, but some of the G2 blocks are not working for me. The G2 Alphabar and G2 Latest work fine. The others have various issues:

-- G2 Top displays a block with no content
-- G2 Random does not display a block at all
-- G2 Word of the Day displays a plus sign linking to /node (even configuring the character length to 300, entering a word of the day, etc.) and the XML button, but no word or definition

I'm running a pretty standard 4.7 set-up. I'm not using taxonomy to classify my entries, though...would that affect the performance of the blocks in this manner?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It might be a configuration or theme issue. Did you :

  • make sure you are using the proper version (currently 1.15.2.10)
  • configure the blocks ? G2 Top needs configuring (3 params), G2 Random too (4 params), G2 WOTD too (9 params). Parameters are not defined by default right after an install (it might be a good idea to improve the install file for this)
  • check with a standard theme like bluemarine ?

Beyond this, do you have a site online where I can see the exact code being generated ? (sample site where blocks works is available at http://www.riff.org )

Thanks for the quick response. Here are some replies to your questions/comments:

- I am running 1.15.2.10
- The blocks are configured, and changing the parameters did not fix anything
- I tried switching my theme (slash) to bluemarine, but this also did not change anything

Unfortunately, I do not have a live site to show you. Oddly, though, the Word of the Day block now appears to be functioning correctly. Maybe that was a caching issue or something? The random word block still is nowhere to be found and the Top block still appears with no content in it.

One other question: I frequently use freelinking to link to other glossary terms in the definitions, but the blocks do not seem to be running this filter. Is this a theme issue or a module issue?

Thanks!

If a bit of time changed the block to make it work, I suggest you empty your drupal cache.

Also, although I don't see how, it might conceivably be an interaction with another module. But without more detailed on how to reproduce the problem, I won't be able to help you.

I'm not sure what your question about the filter means: to use DFN elements to auto-link, you must enable the G2 content filter for each input format for which you want to have it available, like www.example.com/admin/filters/1

Since there hasn't been any news in over one week, I suppose this fixed your problem. If this is not the case, feel free to reopen it by resetting the status to "active".
