The admin navigation menu simply vanishes when you enable the theme! The only way to get out of it is to type in admin/themes in the url and change the theme.

Disappointing, as this is such a lovely theme.

Doesn't seems to happen with me. Can you provide bit more information, etc. This theme doesn't uses the left block region (excluded within template.php)

Go to line 20 and add the logic to place the left sidebar blocks at teh bottom of the right sidebar.

    <?php if ($sidebar_right) { ?>
      <div id="fauxRightColumn">
        <?php print $search_box ?>
        <?php print $sidebar_right ?>

        <?php if ($sidebar_left) { ?>
          <?php print $sidebar_left ?>
        <?php } ?>

     </div>

This way you don't lose blocks when switching theme's.

This is not an issue with the theme. As it happens with each theme using phptemplate engine. Users have to re-assoign block positions (enter ?q=admin/block in url & do) when the theme has specified limited block region.

As an alternative, remove the function : function summerholiday_regions() from template.php file inside your themes/summerholiday directory, and edit the page.tpl.php file as suggested by sepeck above. Doing all his would not remove your blocks from anywhere.

Maybe this can be filed into phptemplate issue/feature request.

phptemplate issue

Thank you for the tip, Sepeck and to you, Gurpartap, for the explanation. Haven't had time the last couple of days to really try this out, but I will certainly report back.

By the way, Ray, the original designer of the summer holiday theme was pleasantly surprised that it had been ported to drupal.

Okay, I finally found some time to try this out. I opted for the simplest fix by visiting ../admin/block and changing the placement of the navigation menu from 'header' to 'right sidebar'. I will see how this goes before implementing the template.php changes and the css changes that you and Sepeck have suggested.

I find the fixed width rather limiting, though. Where should I start to make the width bigger? style.css? I have customised bluemarine pretty heavily, so I think I can do this too.
