I'm in need of having custom regions in my node-*.tpl.php files and found the following solution ( http://drupal.org/node/29139 ). Unfortunately I can't get it to work with the existing template.php file. Can someone merge these two for me.

This is from the above link 

function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $variables) {
  // Load the node region only if we're not in a teaser view.
  if ($hook == 'node' && !$vars['teaser']) {
    // Load region content assigned via blocks.
    foreach (array('inline1') as $region) {
      $variables[$region] = theme('blocks', $region);
    }
  }
  return $variables;
}

And this is in my template.php file for switching templates

function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars = array()) {
  switch ($hook) {
    case 'page':

      // Add page template suggestions based on the aliased path.
      // For instance, if the current page has an alias of about/history/early,
      // we'll have templates of:
      // page_about_history_early.tpl.php
      // page_about_history.tpl.php
      // page_about.tpl.php
      // Whichever is found first is the one that will be used.
      if (module_exists('path')) {
        $alias = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']);
        if ($alias != $_GET['q']) {
          $suggestions = array();
          $template_filename = 'page';
          foreach (explode('/', $alias) as $path_part) {
            $template_filename = $template_filename . '-' . $path_part;
            $suggestions[] = $template_filename;
          }
        }
        $vars['template_files'] = $suggestions;
      }
      break;

    case 'node':

      // Add node template suggestions based on the aliased path.
      // For instance, if the current page has an alias of about/history/early,
      // we'll have templates of:
      // node_about_history_early.tpl.php
      // node_about_history.tpl.php
      // node_about.tpl.php
      // Whichever is found first is the one that will be used.
      if (module_exists('path')) {
        $alias = drupal_get_path_alias($_GET['q']);
        if ($alias != $_GET['q']) {
          $suggestions = array();
          $template_filename = 'node';
          foreach (explode('/', $alias) as $path_part) {
            $template_filename = $template_filename . '-' . $path_part;
            $suggestions[] = $template_filename;
          }
        }
        $vars['template_files'] = $suggestions;
      }
      break;
  }

  return $vars;
}

Thanks in advance.

In your existing template.php right before the last break

        }
        $vars['template_files'] = $suggestions;
      }
      break; // <<<<<

Add your other code like this

        }
        $vars['template_files'] = $suggestions;
      }

     // Load the node region only if we're not in a teaser view.
     if ( !$vars['teaser']) {
      // Load region content assigned via blocks.
      foreach (array('inline1') as $region) {
       $vars[$region] = theme('blocks', $region);  // Note $variables changed to $vars
      }
     }
      break; // <<<<<

Thanks nevets,

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. I've set up a new section on the template.php file and the only other modification to the template.php file is what I posted here

I've changed foreach (array('inline1') as $region) { to reflect the name of my new section.

I've tried it with a stock page that uses node.tpl.php but still no go.

Any ideas?

I'm using 5.7

Thanks!

With out seeing to code or know what not working means, no.

Looks like it was my fault as I had the code in the template.php twice.

Thanks for the help.
