Do you have your 'home' module set to blocks in settings?

Did you mean :Start page set to blocks, then yes it is.

Blocks is not a 'user' module per se... You need to pick a module with 'substance'. The module must produce some 'main content'.

Hi there,

I too have "Error! Called unknown function: Blocks_user_main" on my main page after looking at the stock templates. I changed the Start Page to something other than Blocks but Its not what I want (I have Recommend Us on the front page at the moment) I have also reupped the blocks folder but to no avail. Is there a way to remove this without having either Comments, Credits, Header_Footer, Legal, Recommend Us, or Sections on the main page?

Is there a way of using the Random Quotes module on the main page underneath the main text? I would like to have quotes on there but its not in the list when I go to change the Start Page.

I am using 0.7.6.4

AmmoDump could you explain in simplified English what you mean please?

Sure. You need to set the home page to a module, that has a user view. Blocks only has an admin view. There is nothing to see, unless you are looking at it from the admin perspective, therefore it will give an error, trying to look at it. Some modules have a user and admin view, some only have a user view, and some (like blocks) only have an admin view.

Users will see blocks as blocks not as a module. The module only controls blocks (as admin). If you do not want a module on the homepage, in your themes home.htm template remove the $main_content Smarty tag.

Thx for the reply AmmoDump, much appreciated.

I have deleted the "$main_content Smarty tag" and its worked a treat, thx!! I also found where to change the Top Menu links (I am using pnGreenhouse, you're theme I think mate!)

What I would like to have on the front page is "Random Quotes." I have been looking around but can't see anything and I can't figure it out how to do it.
