This page type has no Block Areas configured about silverstripe-blocks HOT 6 CLOSED

did you add variables in your template as example below ?

`

$BlockArea(BeforeContent)
<% if $Content %><div class="row form">$Content</div><% end_if %>
<% if $Form %><div class="row form">$Form</div><% end_if %>
$BlockArea(AfterContent)

Yeap none of those will work. Read the documentation, there are very clear examples ;)

Well, when I follow the documentattion exactly, the Blocks tab at the pages disappear and didn't set exclude_from_page_types for any page type.

Update: when I use version 1.0.7. everything is working well. But with version 1.0.8. and dev my experience is that the Blocks tab disappears once you add an area to the page type. I experience this in SilverStripe 3.2.1 and 3.3.1.

Hmm... I've just done a test with 1.0.8 and was unable to replicate the issue. Can you paste in your config for me and I'll test with that

I can replicate this issue when I have not set the theme I use for blocks in my config.yml but only in the cms.

This has been set after a fresh installation of SilverStripe 3.3.1 without selecting the Simple theme:

SSViewer:
  theme: 'tutorial'

I then installed the blocks module, created a new theme and selected it via the CMS. Then I followed the documentation and configured the blocks module (1.0.7). The blocks tab is shown but I get the message "This page type has no Block Areas configured". I then set the theme in config.yml to my new theme and it worked.

But when I install 1.0.8 or 1.0.9 the Blocks tab is not visible.
