Is there a reason why the logo, etc is hard coded into the branding template? I realize it's easy to fix once you know it, but it seems unintuitive, and undocumented. I would like the option if possible in a future release.

If you want to move it out into other regions the Omega way would be to disable them in your subtheme and enable them as blocks with the Delta Module in order to place in different locations.

Possibly this can be a move delta blocks into "omega blocks" in order to make it easier

Thank you for this valuable tip that enabled me to find a solution.

I disabled "Logo" and "Site slogan" on my subtheme settings page and then (after enabling Delta module that made Logo and Site slogan Blocks appear) placed those blocks in User Bar First and User Bar Second.

But I am puzzled:
1. "it's easy to fix once you know it"
How did you (dotman) fix it?
By using Cellar Door's subsequent tip, or another way?

2. "the Omega way would be to disable them in your subtheme and enable them as blocks with the Delta Module..."
How do I learn "the Omega way" (besides finding occasional tips like yours)?
Can you please point us to those parts of the documentation where the Omega Way is described?
Please help us learn how to learn.

Hi Larry -

"The Omega Way" is something you feel like the force :) In reality though the omega way of doing things is just found through trial and error and using when applicable the delta/omega-tools modules. Rather than editing the tpl (which is the Drupal standard way of moving items) The Omega Way for this would be to use the UI and modules.

If you want to keep learning along with us join in on the IRC room #drupal-omega . It seems like we learn something new everyday in there and work on putting them in the official docs whenever possible.

Cheers!

If you don't want to install yet another module to do something like this you can use a THEMENAME_page_alter to add the logo to whatever region you would like and disable it's output on the theme settings page.
