Blocks not appearing on Page editor

I am not sure what is going on but I have been having issues with this thing since day one. When I add blocks to columns they don't appear. When they do appear (some of them), and I've moved the column width slider to adjust the width, they do not resize.  Can anyone help me? How do I edit the inactive blocks on the page editor?

If they are inactive, then why do you want to edit them since they are not being used?

I move the inactive blocks to the active section. They do not pop up though. I've emailed the team about it. They took a look and said that some of them were HTML blocks just named the same thing (Which was an attempt for me to try and re-create the same blocks that initially came with the software).This is what Igor sent to me:

" These blocks are generated by certain functions (see the Func column in the sys_page_compose table).
For the index page the functions are declared in the template's file: templates/base/scripts/BxBaseIndexPageView.php
The function names start with getBlockCode_ and the rest of the name corresponds to the value in the Func column.
So, to replicate a block, you will need to replicate a record in the table and a function in the file. "

 

I am not sure what he means. What i need is simple. To put the blocks that came with dolphin (on Page builder) in the active section, and have them actually show-up. Also, what do I do if the block appears in the inactive section on one page, and that same block that I need does not appear when another page is selected (Still in page builder view).

Each page is independent, even if they have the same block.  When you drag a block from inactive up to a column on the page, it should show up.  The reason a block might not show up on the page when you go to view it is because the block is empty.  For example, if a PHP block does not have content, it won't appear on the page.

 

If you think you need development help, send me a PM.

That photo appears to be normal for that page. That page(All Members) only has the two blocks that are already in the active area.

As GG mentioned, every page is different, and the blocks you see on one page may not exist on another. That to is also normal. Every page has it's own set of blocks. The only two blocks that exist on all pages are the ones you see in the Samples area.

Also, 90% of all blocks in dolphin are designed for the page they are on, hence the reason they don't appear for use on other pages. So dolphin does not provide a built in method of taking blocks that are on one page and moving them or copying them to another page.

Ok. So what happens if I create a page, and want to insert some of the inactive blocks that dolphin has created. I thought this was the whole concept of the page builder (To put what you want on the page…including the blocks that they have created).
