Lost Ability to Add Blocks
Permalink 1 user found helpful
Everything was working just fine earlier today. But when I took a break and came back, I lost the ability to add blocks or stacks. All I get now is a spinning wheel (see attached screenshot). I have tried different browsers (safari & firefox) as well as different computers. I'm grateful for any help!
Well I was hopeful (and tried a few times) but I'm still getting the spinning wheel when I try to add a block. Any other thoughts? Thanks!
I CAN paste from the clipboard. I can also edit that block.
I'm pretty much up a creek otherwise?

I am in the same boat right now.
If I try and edit existing it works.
If I try and add a block like Content I get the spinning wheel.

JR,
Did you ever have Content Around Image addon installed?
Just curious.
Here are some errors I am seeing, but the files dont actually exists in the code.

No. For me, I was adding a couple of photos. First I uploaded successfully to file manager. The I added each photo. I went away from the computer for a few hours, came back and decided to try a sideshow instead of the two individual shots...deleted the Image blocks and then when I went to add the Slideshow block, this started. Tomorrow will be day 3 like this.
Somewhere in the time I was gone the laptop went to sleep and I think I had to log in again. But I'm having this problem on every page, not just that one.

Are you getting any JavaScript or not found errors I wonder? If you're not using Firefox with the Firebug addon, I'd recommend you try it. Open Firebug and open the console display. You'll see any errors listed there.
More often than not, a spinning graphic is the result of a failed AJAX call, either because of a JS error, or an error in the webserver response.

Thanks for the tip! Here's what comes up in the Firefox Web Console when I try to add a Content block:

That URL is broken - for some reason it's missing the tools/required part from the URL. It should be
add_block_popup.php itself should be located in concrete/tools - make sure it is still there and is readable/has correct file permission.
Does this occur on every block type, or just a particular one?

Firebug installed, add_block_popup.php is missing
concrete/tools/ has the file, permissions are rw-r-r so we are good there
I dropped add_block_popup.php back to my root directory to see what happened and it found it in the root but I got permission denied error on the screen.
To reproduce:
Click edit this page
Click on add to "header, main, sidebar, etc.."
Select Add Block (you see the full menu of blocks to add)
Select any item in this menu and you will get the spinning wheel
hope this helps.

You will get the permission denied error, because executing the php in root, it is running outside of the c5 framework.
The issue is, as I said before, why the "tools/required" path has vanished from the ajax request.
Perhaps if you posted your debug environment this might help.

I am curious what this links too
REL_DIR_FILES_TOOLS_REQUIRED
and if this is the correct syntax.
Here is some access log items

Yes - this is what I get when I try to add an Image block:

Yes, that's the debug environment. It looks like you're running 5.5.2, but some of the requests seem to be coming from a 5.5.2.1 upgrade.
I suspect that the upgrade hasn't worked properly.
Make a copy of your config/site.php. Then edit it and remove or comment out the line which refers to the upgrade. This should revert the site to using the 5.5.2 code. See how that works.
I would also clear and then disable the cache.

My config/site.php only contains this:
<?php
define('DB_SERVER', 'mysql.homestudiodoors.com');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'homestudiodoorsc');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '********');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'homestudiodoors_com');

define('DB_USERNAME', 'homestudiodoorsc');

Oh, I see now that some of your logs relate to a different site, which explains the confusion.
You mentioned REL_DIR_FILES_TOOLS_REQUIRED - what value does it have? I would expect it to be "index.php/rools.required".
To discover its value, try adding this code to the end of one of your templates

<?php var_dump(REL_DIR_FILES_TOOLS_REQUIRED); ?>
I just realized I think you were replying to cryofix originally and then I replied to you...sorry for the confusion! I will try to study that part of the conversation and see what I can make of it...
site/tmp/var.php
string(28) "REL_DIR_FILES_TOOLS_REQUIRED"
string(28) "REL_DIR_FILES_TOOLS_REQUIRED"
You need to do the var_dump from within C5, doing it outside won't tell you anything. That's why I suggested putting it in the template.
removed update line in in site.php, shut off cache, and cleared.
Still the same for me
just wondering if the syntax is correct for REL_DIR_FILES_TOOLS_REQUIRED

Just reinstalled...same problem! What in the world could be causing this?
Make sure that you clear your site cache (not just disable it), also make sure that you don't have any other server level caching active.
I'd be suspicious of your .htaccess file doing some sort of rewriting that perhaps it shouldn't. What does it look like?
I just checked and didn't find any .htaccess files in the site.
I thought that at first, but nothing on the site.
JRTaylor,
Who is your hosting provider?

Don't feel alone...I'm experiencing the exactly the same 'NO BLOCKS' issue you are describing.
As part of the debugging process, I created a new C5 site and to my surprise, it works as advertised!
What's with the latest 5.6.1 upgrade that breaks the new block functionality?
With the debug option on, I also get errors when I try to perform a Database Refresh. ( require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required...)
I don't want to rebuild my site...

Hi Guys,
Just Googled this as having 'exactly' same problem with missing 'edit_area_popup.php' file. Cannot add block but can paste from scrapbook.
Anyone on this thread, found a solution, it is driving me nuts!
Many Thanks in anticipation.

Hi all,
did anyone find a solution to this? I just experienced the same thing (not hosted on Dreamhost) and have no idea what to do...
Before "downgrading" to 5.6.2 maybe anyone has an update on that issue??
