All content complete blocks keep disappearing - after a while

See http://drupal.org/node/1173012#comment-4617086.
To be fair: the problematic behavior is a side effect of a bug that was fixed in Drupal 6.22.

Note comment http://drupal.org/node/1173012#comment-4686924 which states changes must be made to the contrib modules.

As a work around to the issue, I used views and created content complete block, that uses the NID of node as an argument. This works as a replacement for the Content Complete: Current Node block.

Here is the views code for the block:

$view = new view;
$view->name = 'content_complete';
$view->description = 'content complete';
$view->tag = 'content complete';
$view->view_php = '';
$view->base_table = 'node';
$view->is_cacheable = FALSE;
$view->api_version = 2;
$view->disabled = FALSE; /* Edit this to true to make a default view disabled initially */
$handler = $view->new_display('default', 'Defaults', 'default');
$handler->override_option('fields', array(
  'completeness' => array(
    'label' => '',
    'alter' => array(
      'text' => '',
      'make_link' => 0,
      'path' => '',
      'link_class' => '',

    'id' => 'completeness',
    'table' => 'content_complete',
    'field' => 'completeness',
    'relationship' => 'none',
  ),
));
$handler->override_option('arguments', array(
  'nid' => array(

));
$handler->override_option('access', array(

$handler->override_option('cache', array(

$handler = $view->new_display('block', 'Block - Content Complete Current Node ', 'block_1');

The suggestion from #5 is a good one since the blocks created by Views are different from the blocks provided by the module directly.

According to the link posted in #3, the problem is probably because of checking user_access in the function content_complete_block(). If you remove the line if (user_access('access content complete')) { is the problem solved?

no, now everything fails

tried views also, they are just blank

I've tested the implementation as suggested in #7 and all seems to work fine, blocks do not disappear anymore after clearing the cache. I have created a new release 1.5 for this bugfix and I suggest you to update the module.

allandk in #9: Views integration for Content Complete was never affected by the changes in Drupal core, please refer to the documentation for setting up Views.
