All modules in the right module position of my flexicontent site have stopped appearing.

Two days of searching and trying different configuration settings and I can't find the solution.

The module positions and the modules don't appear on pages' source code, so, from what I've read, it's unlikely to be a template issue.

Firebug does not show any javascript conflicts.

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Please advise.

hello
did you try with other template ?
it seems a joomla template problem not ?

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

micker, I tried the beez template and it shows the missing modules. So, I guess it is a template issue. I didn't think to look at a different template to see. Thank you.

I have an update for the template that may take care of this. I'll let you know.

kenmcd:

FLEXIcontent version 1.5.5 stable (r607)

Joomla! 1.5.25 Stable 14-November-2011

PHP Version 5.3.8

I was planning a switch to WordPress, so updates to the site lagged. But, I've decided to stay with Joomla and FlexiContent and am working to bring things up to date.

It looks like updating the template is the most reasonable action. However, I'd like to hear any suggestions you may have about getting the modules to appear in the current template until I get the template update completed.

I come from an editorial background, but I need to work with Joomla and Flexi to achieve my news distribution goals. The technical person helping me with the site has been unavailable recently.

Thanks for your help.

Sounds like you recently updated a very old version of Joomla.
That would be useful to know.
So I assume this happened after updating Joomla.
Also would have been useful to know.

The release date on your template is 2008 Oct. 30 (over 3.5 years ago).
worldnewstrust.com/templates/rt_versatil.../templateDetails.xml
So there have been many, many changes to J1.5 since then, some of which required changes to templates.
Also many commercial templates include files which override Joomla layouts.
These override files also require updating.

Given that the core Beez template works properly seems to confirm this is an issue with your very old template.

As I said before, this is a Joomla issue.
Components do not control where modules appear.

kenmcd: I've been keeping Joomla up-to-date all along. It happened after removing an obsolete component, iJoomla's NewsPortal, and replacing it with a Flexi category as home page. Leaving the template not-updated was just neglect. (It wasn't broken...) And I don't understand enough to just fix things, although it seems like it's likely really pretty simple.

As I'm early-intermediate, at best, in my understanding of Joomla and Flexicontent, I very much appreciate your replies. I need all the help I can get.
