Forum Centerblock disappears on HP if no featured article visible

If you feature an article which is not visible to not-logged-in users, you automatically make the forum centerblock disappear for not-logged-in users... anyone else has the same problem?
thanks

We have this logic in the main geeklog index.php
if ($A['featured'] == 1) {
$display .= PLG_showCenterblock (2, $page, $topic);
}
Thus it will only call the Plugin Function to show the centerblock after the Featured Story if there is a featured story. I think thats an unnecessary check.

No, it was a bit trickier then that. Disabling that check will cause the centerblock to appear after every story. It was set to only appear once after the featured topic.
So we would need a check to handle the case when there was no featured story (or access to) and when there is one.
Try this out - replace the matching code in your geeklog index.php - starting at approx line 174
for ($x = 1; $x <= $nrows; $x++) {
$A = DB_fetchArray($result);
if ($A['featured'] == 1) {
$feature = 'true';
} elseif (($x == 1) && ($_CONF['showfirstasfeatured'] == 1)) {
$feature = 'true';
$A['featured'] = 1;
} elseif ($x == 1) {
$display .= PLG_showCenterblock (2, $page, $topic);
}
$display .= COM_article($A,'y');
if ($A['featured'] == 1) {
$display .= PLG_showCenterblock (2, $page, $topic);
}
}
