You will find here as attached file the current release of the "Per-Theme Blocks" module.

Thank you for your answer, kiamlaluno.

I have created this module because I need a feature that I did not find in any existing module.

This module allows theme developers to provide blocks information (position, visibility...) through a THEME_blocks_info() function in the template.php file of the themes.
This (optional) function must return an associative array that return the blocks definition that should override the existing one. The syntax is the same as the hook_blocks() one for 'list' op. For example :

function mytheme_blocks_info() {
  return array (
    'menu_primary-links' => array ( 'weight' => '1', 'region' => 'header', ),
    'myblock1' => array ( 'weight' => '2', 'region' => 'right', ),
    'myblock2' => array ( 'weight' => '1', 'region' => 'footer', ),
    'block_to_hide' => array ( 'status' => '0', ),
  );
}

Thus, thanks to the blocks admin page, the site administrator can override the existing blocks information with information provided by the theme by checking a "Reset blocks" box before clicking "Save blocks".

Features :
* allows per-theme blocks definition through THEME_blocks_info() function
* allows site administrator to override blocks informations (position, visibility...) as suggested by the theme
* export existing blocks information to ease the creation of the THEME_blocks_info() function

Of course all code is released under the GPL v2 license.

I hope this helps and my CVS account is approved soon.

After a new self review, I removed a debug-related "print_r()" function.

Here is the refreshed tarball.
