GlobalArea disapearing in C5.7
Permalink
Hello C5 community!
I have a problem with Conrete5 5.7.
I just imported the html files in the theme folder and installed my theme (empty theme).
When I created a footer and placed the GlobalArea code in it I thought I could place some text in the footer.
So what I did: I created a "Area" 2 colum, placed two blocks of content on each side, put some test text in it and saved it.
After saving and approving it everything disappeared and it got back to what it was before.
Text and colums were gone.
I tried several times but everytime it disappeared.
This problem only persists in "GlobalAreas".

Hey jvermeer,
The issue has been resolved for me in a later version of concrete 5.7.
Are you still running an old version?

?php $stack = Stack::getByName('Navigation'); $stack->display(); ?>
That does work... but is not an area...
Nonetheless, I cannot edit the default... the above error remains
Hello jvermeer,
I am not a great support for you but I can just tell you how the "Globalareas' look like on my websites.
I do not have a ($c) in the globalareas.
Maybe that is causing the error?

I am having a similar issue with a 5.7.4 website. I have a global area in the footer, implemented as so:
Which sometimes appears and sometimes doesn't. The area is a simple content block with legal info. Fairly standard stuff. If it disappears I can sometimes force it back by editing a page.. but sooner or later it will disappear again.
Other global areas haven't yet been problematic, just this one.
Not sure if it's of any relevance, but this is the last area/global area in my template.
<?php $a = new GlobalArea('Footer Legal'); $a->display(); ?>

This behaviour sometimes happens when you had in the past a plain editable Area with the same handle.
So perhaps you had in the past:
and you simply changed it to:
?
If so, that kind of error is going to pop up. You may have success by renaming the area handle something you've never used before, e.g.
(if you do you'll just need to copy your blocks or re-place the content)
What you've described here is I think a different problem than the original poster.

This could well be the case, thanks for the feedback. I've implemented a change to the global areas's name and so far so good. If it disappears again I'll feedback, but I'm anticipating that this was indeed the issue. Thanks.
I received the following error when I try to edit defaults:
-----------------------------------
An unexpected error occurred.
Call to a member function forceControlsToDisplay() on a non-object
-----------------------------------
forceControlsToDisplay() is an inherited member of the Area class for GlobalArea, ergo the area is not instantiated in edit mode....
I am declaring the area as:
Is there something I am missing? I will search free templates for the moment...
