I used version 1.0 for over a month without problems, but this update has the blocks disappearing out of the same Zen 0.6 derivative theme (haven't tested elsewhere). Thought it might be CSS cache related, but turning that on and off and clearing local cache, etc. hasn't helped. I'm hoping returning to 1.0 will as I actually didn't have any noticable problems with that version.

Interestingly the problem doesn't seem to appear immediately. It may be that subsequent site editing is ... or just passage of a couple cron runs is triggering it. But that's just speculation at this point .

Drupal 5.3
Apache 2.x
PHP 4.4

Reverting to version 1.0 "seems to" restore the block visibility and function.

Actually I'd already updated to Drupal 5.5 when this occured.
Sorry for any confusion

It's a bug in v1.1

replacing function menu_block_split_is_child() for this one would do the trick

function menu_block_split_is_child($parent, $child) {
  $item = menu_get_item($parent);
  if (is_array($item['children'])) {
    if (in_array($child, $item['children'])) {
      return TRUE;
    }
    else {
      foreach ($item['children'] as $c) {
        if (menu_block_split_is_child($c, $child) == TRUE) {
          return TRUE;
        }
      }
    }
  }
 return FALSE;
}

Title: disappearing menu blocks » still in 6.x: disappearing menu blocks
Version: 5.x-1.1 » 6.x-1.0
Category: bug » feature
Status: Closed (fixed) » Active

Hi,

I have installed 6.x. When clicking on a 3rd-level menu-item, the split-block disappears (again).
I looked at the patch for 5.x, but i don't know how to use that on 6.x

Has anyone fixed this for 6.x ?

Thanks, Joly
