Creating new theme with additional blocks

By Passionate_Lass on 31 Jul 2008 at 20:03 UTC

Hello.

I'm working on a customized theme for my website which uses drupal 6.x .

This is what I have thus far. This includes the css with crazy colors so I could see the divs to make sure they were going where I wanted.

print $language->language " xml:lang="
print $language->language ">

print $head_title;

						if ($logo)
						{
			          		print '<img src="'. check_url($logo) .'" alt="'. $site_title .'" id="logo" title="Home" />';
			        	}
			        		print ($logo ? '' : $site_title_html) .'</a>';
			      		}

						if ($site_title)
						{
        					print '<h1><a href="'. check_url(
        					print ($logo ? '' : $site_title_html) .'</a></h1>';
						}

if ($site_slogan):

print $site_slogan;

endif;

site links

account links

mail

if (isset($primary_links)) :
print theme('links', $primary_links, array('class' => 'links primary-links'))
endif;

if ($search_box):

print $search_box

endif;

if ($left):

print $left

endif;

if ($mission || $featured):

if ($mission): print '<div id="mission"><p>'. $mission .'</p></div>'; endif;
if ($featured): print $featured; endif;

endif;

if ($breadcrumb): print $breadcrumb; endif;

if ($title) {
print $title

}
if ($tabs) {

print $tabs

}
if ($show_messages && $messages): print $messages; endif;
if ($help): print $help; endif;

print $content;

if ($right):

print $right

endif;

if (isset($primary_links)) :
print theme('links', $primary_links, array('class' => 'links primary-links'))
endif;

if ($footer_left):

print $footer_left

endif;

if ($left_middle_footer):

print $left_middle_footer

endif;

if ($right_middle_footer):

print $right_middle_footer

endif;

if ($right_footer):

print $right_footer

endif;

if ($footer_content):

print $footer_content

endif;

My question is, similar to the beginning theme I want some extra possible spaces for content such as two extra menu spaces (site_links, account_links) and several content areas (footer_left, left_middle_footer, right_middle_footer, and footer_content).

How do I do that? I looked at beginning closely but I didn't notice how to do it.
