Can't manage blocks visibility when using Zen Classic theme

Dear friends,

I'm building a new website using Drupal and the state-of-the-art Zen theme. You can take a preview here:

http://demo.evk2cnr.org/cms/

A question is annoying me and seems to be harder than I thought to be fixed: if I create a block and I decide that it must be shown only in the front page, I browse to Administration > Site building > Blocks and click "Configure" near the desired block. Than I enter into the "Page specific visibility settings" field and set "Show block on specific pages" to "Show on only the listed pages". This is actually what I always do, but noways to make it work with the Zen theme I installed... Actually it looks like Zen theme completely ignores the statement. Is there anybody having the same kind of problem and - most of all - telling me how to fix it?

Ciao :-)

I am not sure of what is causing your problem. But I am using Zen Classic on one of my sites and am using block visibility successfully. So I don't think that it is the Zen theme causing your problem. Disclaimer: You didn't say what version of Drupal and Zen you are running, my case applies to D6.


You're right... :-)

Yes, I forgot giving you information about which version I am using:

  • drupal-5.7.tar.gz
  • zen-5.x-1.1.tar.gz

Any help will be appreciated ;-)

is your issue fixed yet ivan?

i was wondering... do you have the right region for the block in your template? let's assume you're specifying the default page. if you've change anything in your templates with a custom region you need to make sure it is printing in whatever template you're using for your front page.
