I would like to make a specific node available in a specific region, which is a different region from the default $content region. I'm hoping you can help me with this problem.

I'm using an already developed theme, which provides the regions. All of the content on the website has a three collumn layout, but there is a single (php) page where the content should not be in a collumn layout, because it is an external (javascript) application. I was thinking the easiest way should be to move the content to the footer (which stretches all the way on the template), but after tinkering with it a lot yesterday, I found out it isn't as simple as I expected.

I've tried googling my way to a solution, but unfortunately I haven't found it yet. Routes to a solution I've looked at are:

  • Using Views, and putting the content in a block. Unfortunately I'm stuck because the there isn't a page to stick the block on.
  • I've dabbled with Panels, but this is quite new for me and I haven't found an easy way to do this. I'm also afraid that this may be a little bit of a heavy solution for what I want to do.

Or should I abandon those modules alltogether and should I simply create a new content type, and add a specifically created tpl.php fot that content type?

Thanks for your help in advance!

use node blocks module or you can print the node manually by creating a block from gui, select php as the input filter (if you doesnt have this filter you'll need to enable php input filter module), and print this code in the block body :

$node = node_load('your-node-id');

return node_view($node, 'teaser');
