Hello,

$20 to your paypal for the first one to provide a custom solution.

My Site: www.thecarbonpig.com

Right now I am using a background image defined in the style.css of the ad_lemon_twist theme for the header. I am going to continue to do this, but will modify it to fit my request.

What I need: A field (this may be a misuse of the word) or a region (this may also be the wrong word) above all of my current content that would house a google CSE and some other custom counter and graphics code..maybe for ads too. Basically I need to be able to insert full html and php into this field and have it always remain at the top of every page. It will be seperate from the main content areas (blocks, body, etc.), be stand alone, and never move page to page. It should also have a transparent background, so basically would just be a floating googel cse search box. Sound easy...I know...I'm just running into deadlines and need to get this done asap.

Thanks,

The Carbon Pig

Roughly where it currently says The Carbon Pig in Red and Orange lettering.

I believe that you will need to define a new region in your theme info file e.g.:

regions[googlecse] = Google CSE

Then create a block with the required content and select the new region that you have created.

You will then need to add the new region into your page.tpl.php file in the appropriate place e.g.:

<?php if (isset($googlecse)): ?>
    <div id="googlecse">
      <?php print $googlecse?>
    </div>
<?php endif; ?>

You will need to style the new region and probably change the main background image.

Hope this helps.

How do I know where the "appropriate place" is?

Probably just below the body tag or within the wrapper, but you will probably have to alter your template and CSS to make it work together nicely.

DECIDED TO ROLL BACK AND GO WITH ALTERNATE THEME TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM.
