Drupal Ctools Form Wizard in a Block - drupal

Question

I created a custom module that has a Ctools multi step form. It's basically a copy of http://www.nicklewis.org/using-chaos-tools-form-wizard-build-multistep-forms-drupal-6.
The form works. I can see it if I got to the url i made for it.
For the life of me I can't get the multistep form to show up in a block.
Any clues?

Answer 1

Am assuming you have enabled the block from admin. To do a quick check that the block is indeed getting rendered on the page you are looking at, try returning a test string along with your rendered form, from your block callback.
If that doesn't work, try clearing your cache from admin/settings/performance and try again. If I am not wrong, blocks are cached by default. Let us see if it shows up then.
