How to show a block before a view?
Cayhn - November 18, 2008 - 14:02
So here it was I would like to do. I got the view frontpage enabled so all visitors come there I also got a custom view who shows there. Now I would like a block to be shown above that view, how do I do that? The custom view that is shown is not added as a block since it wont allow me to show exposed filters.
Does anyone even understand what I'm trying to do? :P

you need to investigate regions. and create a content top region to place blocks above content.
Yes that was my guess too,
Yes that was my guess too, thanks! But the problem here is i'm using garland and it seems I cant find where it defines its regions. Is this something drupal does by default for all its themes?

the .info file I believe.
however, garland is already a very customized theme so your mileage may vary. I don't use garland when the job calls for theme customization.
Thanks for the help, I
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it! I will search for the elusive regions :)
simple solution?
I think all themes already have the 'content' region defined - just put your block in there and give it a weight of -10 and it'll float to the top (and of course, only show it on ).

The only problem I think I forsee with this method is that it's now in a content area instead of a seperate region which I believe allows you more control over presentation.
