Module not showing up

[attroll]

I think I found a problem when editing the module layouts. Let me explain what I found out.

If a user goes into their browse category page and clicks on “Edit Modules On This Page” and changes or moves things around. Then if you go into your Admincp-->Dynamics-->Edit Module Layouts and change the browse category page and add a module to the browse category page it does not show up on any users pages that have previously edited there browse category page.

How can we make this module that we decided to add show up now on the pages for everyone once we set it in the Edit Module Layout page in Admin even after the user has edited their pages?

Currently there is not really a way to do that other than the user editing their page to add it. At some point though I do plan to add a place where you can "forcefully" add a module and update custom layouts to include it as well.

Brian this would be fine if the user could see the category to add it but I have one user that the category does not show up in the listing to add it. The reason being is because the category is already there.
If the user goes to "Edit Modules On This Page" then the category shows up on the left column but is empty.
If they move it to the middle column it shows up with the sub-categories.
If they move it to the right column it does not show up.
It seems as though the left and right columns will not display it.

I don't know if this is because the user has edited their module layout before I added this module to that page or not.


Also another input on this:
I hate to be a pain about this but it sure would be nice to have you add "forcefully add a module" function soon for those of us that beta tested this before you released it. The reason being is that we were helping and we also had some of our users testing our installations of Dynamics out and now that we know how we want our page layouts to look there is no way to do change the layouts for our users that edited there module layouts unless we send an email to each user and have tell them that we they need to add certain layouts to there pages to achieve the default layouts format.

Which module is it exactly that you're having a problem with?

I've added the "forcefully add module" thing to my to-do list, so I'll do my best to get it worked in with the next release.

The one I am trying to get as a default module to show up is the "My Categories" module.

I found the problem. It seems if the category that it falls under is set so "Category is Active" is NO then it will not display the user categories that fall under it. If I make it active then it works.

This is a real bummer. The reason being is because I have a sample blog all set up for users to view as to how I want them to set there blogs up and I would like the sample blog to be viewable but not in the categories listing on the main page. Now that I found this problem I don't know how I am going to work around it.

Look in the vba_dyna_modules/dyna_mycats.php for this code and remove it:
AND $catcache['active']
