When adding "Custom Blocks" to panels the Block Title is not fetched

I can confirm this. After update, the title seems to be missing.
I re-saved the block & panels but does not help.
drush cc all of course too.

When I add a custom title in the panel settings of the block, the title is shown, but when I leave it empty or even when I try to use the %title it will not be shown.

Confirming this issue.

Drupal 7.12
Panels 7.x-3.2

This looks like it may be a problem with core, block_block_view will never get a block title:

/**
 * Implements hook_block_view().
 *
 * Generates the administrator-defined blocks for display.
 */
function block_block_view($delta = '') {
  $block = db_query('SELECT body, format FROM {block_custom} WHERE bid = :bid', array(':bid' => $delta))->fetchObject();
  $data['subject'] = NULL;
  $data['content'] = check_markup($block->body, $block->format, '', TRUE);
  return $data;
}

and panels checks to see if the block title is set (even though it will always be NULL) after invoking block_view:

  $block = module_invoke($module, 'block_view', $delta);
...
  if (isset($block->subject)) {
    $block->title = $block->subject;
  }
  else {
    $block->title = NULL;
  }

It looks like the only place block module actually retrieves the block title, is in _block_load_blocks

/**
 * Loads blocks' information from the database.
 *
 * @return
 *   An array of blocks grouped by region.
 */
function _block_load_blocks() {
  global $theme_key;

  $query = db_select('block', 'b');
  $result = $query
    ->fields('b')
    ->condition('b.theme', $theme_key)
    ->condition('b.status', 1)
    ->orderBy('b.region')
    ->orderBy('b.weight')
    ->orderBy('b.module')
    ->addTag('block_load')
    ->addTag('translatable')
    ->execute();

  $block_info = $result->fetchAllAssoc('bid');
  // Allow modules to modify the block list.
  drupal_alter('block_list', $block_info);

  $blocks = array();
  foreach ($block_info as $block) {
    $blocks[$block->region]["{$block->module}_{$block->delta}"] = $block;
  }
  return $blocks;
}

So we may have to add our own query here to get the block title. I would love some more eyes on my DBTNG and please test the patch :)

Argh. We used to have our own version of _block_load_blocks().

Did that get ruined in the i18nblocks compatibility back and forth?

#3 worked for me so far. Thanks for posting!

Yes the #3 works, but I just found out that this could be related to the ctools change, perhaps we should move this over to ctools issue list?

I analysed problems I had with translation of blocks. The are not translated anymore since ctools 7.x-1.0 Release
I reverted some of the changes between RC1 and final release, which gave me both things back:

• translated blocks
• title in blocks

So I wanted to link this thread.
Hope I could help a bit, I do not understand everything yet...

• #1168272: Drupal blocks are shown untranslated

What's the status of this? Is that patch getting added back into Panels? Just wondering.

It looks like the patch has been added but I still have problems to see my title. The only way to display my title correctly is to override it with plain text. I can't use the %title replacement either.

I'm pretty sure the latest CTools has this all fixed; at least, it seems to now work in my testing.

Just FYI, I had to apply this patch to the latest ctool dev release that I pulled today.

I think this issue is still active, I had to apply patch against 7.x-3.3, and patch works! although I did make a change to the patch to use a relative path, so i'v attached that.

Not sure why this patch was in the Panels issue queue - it actually changes a file in ctools.
Moving to correct project, re-setting to needs review.

For some reason I can't select the version.
Patch applies cleanly to ctools-7.x-1.7

Patch in #12 still applies cleanly to ctools 7.x-1.9.

The 5 year old patch in #12 to block.inc applied cleanly to the latest ctools 7.x-1.x-dev and (if still applicable) needs review.

Checking patch plugins/content_types/block/block.inc...
Hunk #1 succeeded at 482 (offset -52 lines).
Applied patch plugins/content_types/block/block.inc cleanly.
