Custom CMS Info Block default icons disappear on edit, how to add

[Dougadanny]

Fresh install of latest 1.6. After I changed text in the Custom CMS Information Block, none of the icons appear, nor formatting. The UI shows bullets, no images, but then does not appear on site. Now just a paragaph. Even reset.

 

How is this done and how to readd the icons?

Same for me.

Source code is still there

 

<ul>
<li><em class="icon-truck" id="icon-truck"></em>
<div class="type-text">
<h3>Lorem Ipsum</h3>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet conse ctetur voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu</p>
</div>
</li>
<li><em class="icon-phone" id="icon-phone"></em>
<div class="type-text">
<h3>Dolor Sit Amet</h3>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet conse ctetur voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu</p>
</div>
</li>
<li><em class="icon-credit-card" id="icon-credit-card"></em>
<div class="type-text">
<h3>Ctetur Voluptate</h3>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet conse ctetur voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu</p>
</div>
</li>
</ul>

but no more formatting or icons. Module updated to version 1.1 ...

Same problem here after I updated the module it screwed up the block? No Images and limited text input, no htm.... nadda Nadda.

[haroons]

me too. Any fix?

[julioabba]

Same problem as above, after update the module got screwed up, I had to install the older version again...
I don´t like the way PS 1.6 force you to update the modules. Is that any way we can access the module outdated on the BO?

[lethal]

After working with Presta shop its hands down the best one to use, but a module rollback feature would be nice. Where did you find the older module?

[Morten Borg]

Same problem here. Worked perfect in version 1.0. After update to 1.1 the text is cropped when displayed on site.

 

Hope PrestaShop fixes the bug soon.

[julioabba]

Lethal how u doing Bro?
I've downloaded the PS Install from there website and removed the module folder from there.

I've also edited the blockcmsinfo.php to make the prestashop think that the older version is the new one.

Open the blockcmsinfo.php with the notepad and find the line:

$this->version = '1.0';

and change to:

$this->version = '1.1';

I hope it helps

I have now downgraded by replacing with files from original PrestaShop installation.

 

However now I can't edit - the edit button is now replaced by an update button....

 

PrestaShop: This is really not optimal that we're FORCED to update - in this case forced to update to a version with major bugs.

[julioabba]

Open the blockcmsinfo.php which is located inside the module folder with a notepad and find the line:

$this->version = '1.0';

and change to:

$this->version = '1.1';

after that the update mesage will desapear

Thanks I'll do that for now. However I think that PrestaShop need to redesign this behavior, thus not forcing users to update immediately if editing is required.

Hi guys,

 

same problem here. no more formatting in this block after upgrading to version 1.1. it seems like the block must be fitted again into the theme.

 

 

     

[lethal]

Thanks Julio Worked like a champ, a module roll back feature would be nice.

[belisleian]

It is ridiculous that a new version contain a major bug like this. Please fix !!

[Dougadanny]

Regaring the fix work around... I can confirm:

1. In Admin, uninstall the updated module, then delete it
2. Delete the module files from server
3. In the original Prestashop install files or your backup, go to [root]/modules/blockcmsinfo module and change the version number in the blockcmsinfo.php file.
   $this->version = '1.0';
   and change to:
   $this->version = '1.1';
4. Upload this original (previous version) module blockcmsinfo to your server modules folder
5. Go to Admin and install and edit as necessary

Previous version works with 1.6, not the latest, so don't update, change the version number.

 

Just as others above have mentioned, I too had already posted another forum topic about this issue, beign forced to update. We should have the option not to update and still be able to configure modules without this version trick.

Thanks......

Problem solved:

 

Just edit /modules/blockcmsinfo/blockcmsinfo.php and make the following change to line 194

 

Change this:

foreach ($content as $key => $value)

    $content[$key]['text'] = substr(strip_tags($value['text']), 0, 200);

 

To this:

foreach ($content as $key => $value)

    $content[$key]['text'] = $value['text'];

No rules ;-(

 

$this->version = '1.5.1';

 

I need downgrade to 1.1?

[amanidanet]

I have noticed that every time I edit the module adds a  " so that the php code is:

 

<li><em class="""icon-truck"""></em>
<div class="""type-text""">

 

when it should be like this:

<li><em class="icon-truck"></em>
<div class="type-text">
 

You can erase a thousand times &quote; (meaning " in ascii) because every time you give will add you to save that damn code again

Can that be the problem?

[amanidanet]

Ok ... it's clear that this is the problem, on the console of Firefox I have removed the &quote; over and... voila! icon appears ...

Now I just need to find where I can make the module CMS_info stop putting &quote;

[vekia]

hello

your server uses magic_quotes? if so, try to disable them first.

Didn't work for me unfortunately.

Same here, the solution of changing blockcmsinfo.php at line 194 did not work.  

[JonasOchiulini]

Meu modulo é o 1.5.1 e arrumei este problema desabilitando o "magic quotes gpc" do PHP.

 

Criem um arquivo php.ini e digitem a linha abaixo.

 

php_flag magic_quotes_gpc = Off

I have an issue with the custom cms info block as well.

When i try to edit a page or add a new one and try to save it nothing happens.

I have already tried to clear cache but thats not the problem.

 

Console gives me the following error:

 

Uncaught Error: Attempting to use a disconnected port object

 

Also interesting is the following screenshot.

 

Why is it showing 0 pages?
