same type of error with Google Maps Prem, unziped to the block folder and code fills the screen when try to access add functionality.

Can you provide a little more information on the "code". Is it throwing an error? What does the code look like?

first part, but much more dumps...

'G_NORMAL_MAP','Hybrid'=>'G_HYBRID_

and an error message after it is:

An unexpected error occurred.
PremiumGoogleMapBlockController not found. Please check that the block controller file contains the correct class name.

same error for both flicker and google maps

also this is a windows box, themes work fine.

It's weird...haven't seen much like this before.

Could you try zipping up controller.php exactly as you have it and posting it here?

so you have got your premium google map block controller in /blocks/premium_google_map/controller.php?

And then if you open that file, does it have a class definition of:
class PremiumGoogleMapBlockController extends BlockController {....

?

Yes i have that file with the class def

error seems to be right after the => op

public $map_types=array('Normal'=>'G_NORMAL_MAP'

Well I can't seem to replicate this locally. We've made a few change to how the blocks are being loaded recently. That's my best guess as to where a problem's happening. I've attached a version of my working loader.php file. Save a backup of your existing version, and copy this new one into /concrete/libraries/. Hopefully this'll work for you. If not, add some debugging echos to the block() function, like on line 84 of loader.php let me know what this prints:

echo DIR_FILES_BLOCK_TYPES . '/' . $bl . '/' . FILENAME_BLOCK_CONTROLLER;
die;

It really should be caught by the first IF statement there, provided you've got your folders named correctly. Hope that helps.

ok i replace the loader with the one you sent. but the site does not load anything now, i put back the old one and added the echo line as noted, screen attacht for your review.

line 25 of the controller.php for the block seems to be the problem right after the => comand:
public $map_types=array('Normal' => 'aG_NORMAL_MAP','Hy...

as the code dumps starts at the 'aG_NORMAL_MAP'. this also happens on other blocks that I downloaded and try to use.

seems that on line 25 the reading of the controller.php fails at the '=>' array pointer on the first entry, then the rest of the file is dump to the browser, happens on the google map and flicker blocks. any ideal from anywone what would cause this?

Could you zip up both controller.php files from both blocks, as you have them, and post them here?

We run c5 through a processor that converts all short open tags ("<?") to regular PHP open tags ("<?php") but we haven't done that for the blocks and themes. That's why you're getting this error.

We will try and do this and repost the blocks and themes... however in the meantime to get this to work either enable short_open_tags on your server or go through the block and change all instances of <? to <?php and all instances of <?= to <?php echo
