Hi,
I'm in the early stages of a site development, using Garland (for the moment) as my main theme. Using Taxonomy Theme, I have set VOCAB1 to display with ZenClassic, and that works great. However, these two templates have different regions defined. For instance, ZenClassic defines "content-top" and "content-bottom", while Garland simply uses "content". So when I go to block admin (theme reverts to Garland for admin pages), I do not have the option to display a block in the ZenClassic "content-top" region. I suppose I could get into the database and enter this manually? But that is not an ideal scenario for me (especially since I plan to use at least 1 additional theme).
I am a designer aspiring to learn php in all its glory... which means I'm really adept at copy/paste right now. :) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

After further investigation, I found that new blocks would not appear even in regions with the same name in both templates. The only way I have found to make this work is by setting the DEFAULT theme to ZenClassic to administer the blocks in question. Switching the default theme back to Garland appears to retain the settings in both themes. I did try going into the database, but that didn't appear to work.
Maybe the next release of TT can include a way to do this without changing the default theme. Anyway, it's a workaround. :)
