I am evaluating  moddle system to replace our current system.  Everything went  great until when i tried to install blocks into the system.  I seem to receive the following error on 3 new blocks that I want to install.  I have tried to search for the forum for the solution but could not find one.  I have been trying to figure out for a couple of days but seems fruitless.    I appreicate if anybody can help.  I am using version 1.6.

it seems you have added directories block_time,block_attendance, etc inside the blocks directory.

they should be named: time and attendance etc...

rename them and then visit the admin page of your installation.

I renamed them but does not seem to work.  Same error but with the renamed directories.

I seem to be able to fix that now.  But everything come out with "[[".  I suspect it has something to do with the name of the nested directories when installing block.  I will try to figure this out.  Let everybody know when I am done.

Edited by me:
I have resolved this issue.  It is available here for those who wants to know.

Hi Jan,
At first when I extracted the new block into the blocks directory, it actually extracted nested directories.  
Initial directories arrangement (did not work)
moodle
    >blocks
        >block_attendance

            >block
                >attendance
                      > db
                      > add.php
                      > block_attendance.php
                      >etc..
            >lang
            >mod
            README.txt

After directories arrangement (working)
moodle
    >blocks
        >block_attendance

               > db
               > add.php
               > block_attendance.php
               >etc..
            >lang
            >mod
            README.txt

And of course you have to go to admin page for creating an instance of the block.  Hope this helps.

Thanks
