There are "content top" and "content bottom" -regions for blocks and they're great. But (imo) there's a common need for "Node top" and "Node bottom" -regions (same width than content of the node itself is) I'd love to see them somewhere in the future (sorry I'm not a coder with skills to help)

Just an idea from Sunny Spain

Thanks for the great theme!

There is currently a node-bottom region in Marina. This region is only available / shown / displayed on full nodes.

Please see the Acquia Marina handbook
Specifically, please see http://drupal.org/node/357261#regions

Thanks for the tip, found it! (first did not see it because there's not the visual yellow sign present for the "node bottom" -region in "admin/build/block")

However, when testing it out, this "node bottom" -region seems to behaving the same than the "content bottom" -region (ie. it will not follow the width of the node -area width, but extends fully to the right, just like the "content bottom" -region)

Just an opinion... I think it's cool if the "node bottom" -region follows the same width than the node itself (even if the "sidebar last" -region is empty), there is many use for it.

My 2 centimos from Sunny Spain, thanks for the great theme(s)

A themer at CivicActions created a new block region in order to create this functionality in a sub-theme of Acquia Marina. The problem is that the block shows up below the sidebar last instead of between the 2 sidebars on all pages except the .
* "regions[content_below] = content below" is listed in the .info file
* the region is referenced on lines 176 and 178 the page.tpl.php file (attached)
* on http://network.ole.org/ you can see the "Featured Volunteer Opportunity" block right below the 'Main Content Area' where we want it.
* on http://network.ole.org/groups/ole you can see the "Group Discussions" block down below the 'sidebar last' which is not were we want it.

Any ideas on how to fix this would me much appreciated.

Chris
