Hello guys,

I don't know if this is the right forum to post this, but here it is:

How do I declare regions for a theme?

I just bought a theme from a third party and I want to add a couple of regions to it and I don't know how to do it.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,

I did include the name of the new regions I want to the info file, but how do I tell page.tpl.php where they go?

Thanks in advance.

In the .info file you have lines of the form

regions[some_name] = Some Label

some_name will be in available in page.tpl.php as $some_name (so 'some_name' needs to be a valid PHP variable name). In general it is added to page.tpl.php something like

<?php if ( !empty($some_name) ) : ?>
<div id="some-name">
<?php print $some_name; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
