Blog sidebar content does not display if it is the only sidebar element

I want a blog to show only custom content in the side bar, without the calendars, feeds etc. But it will not show show up unless I switch on something else like calendar or archives.

Not sure this is a bug, because it is called "Extra side bar content", but I certainly think it wold be nice to display only this content if so configured.

thanks

Re: Blog sidebar content does not display if it is the only sidebar element

Hi,

What version of mojoPortal are you running?

I can't reproduce this problem on the demo site. If you look at the blog on the demo site, you'll see that I've created top and bottom sidebar content, and hid the other stuff.

HTH,
Joe D.

Hi Joe

Agreed - it works fine on demo. I wonder if it is the skin?  I'll upload my skin to the demo site and check. (Later: seems I cannot upload a skin?).

I'm running:

mojoPortal Version                                2.3.7.9                MSSQL       

Operating System                Microsoft Windows NT 6.0.6002 Service Pack 2

ASP.NET Info                v4.0.30319 Running in Full Trust

Uploading skins is disabled on the demo site for security reasons.

Send me your skin and I'll test it out.

Joe D has confirmed this is a bug - switching off "Show Add Feed Links?" on the demo site made the top and bottom side bar content disappear.
