Im having trouble figuring out how to make the blocks go where I want them! Lets say this:

I have a page called "Games".

In that page I want 3 different blocks to show up in the CENTER (as the content of that page) each of which will contain screenshots and descriptions for each of the 3 games... How do I do this? theres only a "left" and a "right" option in placing blocks!?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Christopher

It's pretty easy. You can ignore the left/right options for block settings. In my theme, I created a table with three columns, and issued the following command:


theme_blocks("all", $this);


My theme issues the above command in a cell of the third column (which technically speaking is the right column). But you can easily issue the same command in the center column in your theme.


One caveat: when issuing the above command, it produces ALL the blocks in the position you want. If you want to place only those three blocks in the center, while other blocks in other places, you going to have to figure out some way to identify the specific blocks you want. I don't know how to do that and I'm not even sure drupal has methods for allowing you to distinguish between blocks.

If the blocks (nodeID's) never change you may want to hardcode it in the theme.

A better idea that came up on the forum was to create a custom node and set that to the home page.
