User 6 module position disappeared

[sayf00]

Hi,

The user 6 module position is not working for me anymore. First of all I though it was smoothgallery, but it seems anything published to that position will not show.

I have no idea as to what I could have done.

Any ideas?

Which theme are you using sayf00?

Yes, I've had a case of 'no user6 content' as well.

On my local machine (where I am developing a site - not yet public), using the eg_xxxx templates, I can't seem to place anything in user6.

I do remember in the past, when playing around, I removed or unpublished smooth gallery from this location to just see what a 'plainer' looking site would look like but I cannot now seem to re-establish this component to be displayed. Again, I too thought it must be something specific with smoothgallery but as an experiment I have just changed "Urgent News" from "Right" module (where it could be seen) to "User6" (where it does not appear). Changing it back to "Right" module and I can see it again.

AFAIK, I've done everything I should be doing, but I too am a bit stumped about this - thought it was just me and something erroneous I must have done (perhaps I have?). For the time being I was ignoring the problem (like an ostrich) and was probably going to re-install the edugeek package again.

If there is any advice/help out there on this problem, I would be interested to hear.

Ahh right. In the eg_xxx themes both user6 and top are dependant on each other. So if you have nothing published to one, the other will not be shown.

Yes, that's done the trick! Thanks

(another little 'gotcha' to take note of)

Thanks SYSMAN, that's solved the problem.:-)
