User blocks not available

Not sure if this'll help, or if it's even right, but I took the CSS files from Ability & dropped them into Salamander. Looks the way I want it to now. But also, my site isn't a production site. It's hardly live yet.

I have the exact same problem. It removes one of the features that I'd really like to use. Any headway on this issue?

same problem here. would be lovely to have a hint on why it doesn't work...

I changed the priority to critical so the authors might see it/get to it faster. I too would like to know why it doesn't work.

maybe we can narrow down the issue a bit.

i am using drupal 5.7
php 5.2.6
mysql 4.0

I got it to work!

What i did was the following: I installed the salamander theme instead of ability. Like this i could make the extra regions work.

Second step was to compare the style.css of the salamander theme with the style.css from the ability theme and inserting/replacing the respective changes from the second to the first.

Hope that helps you any further.

I think I figured it out. In the ability/ theme folder, edit the file template.php

Note there are two functions beginning with "salamander_". Change those to "ability_". Save file. Try the ability theme, now.

If you made a copy of the salamander (or ability) folder (for example, copy "salamander/" to "mynewtheme/") to carve out a custom theme, make sure to make those same changes (in this case, to "mynewtheme_") in template.php of your mynewtheme/.

I got the User regions back into Blocks this way.
