is there a possibility to add a region for content?
I would like to place blocks above and below the regular content region. Other themes offer this feature so I thought maybe it's possible to add this here as well.

Otherwise I absolutely love this them, it allows for very easy customization and also structures content in a great way (with the sidebar top option)

keep it up

cheers

Title: Love it but... » Need to enable the "content" region for this theme
Priority: Normal » Critical

I have run into the same problem. There are currently regions defined for "sidebartop" "leftsidebar" "rightsidebar" and "footer," but no block region for the content area. This makes it impossible to place a help tip in the content area where is will be noticed. Also I can't park any of the blocks in the content area either.

Anyone know how the content area could be made a region like most other themes?

I believe can implement regions anywhere you like with only a little bit of work. Not sure if this is something the author of this theme is interested in changing, but if you want learn how to do it yourself, here's a handy link:

Should 'splain how to make block regions clearly.

Hello,

My site is finished and I am just doing the front page when I realised this same issue. I want to enable some blocks in the content area but there is no specified content area.

Anyone got a solution?

Thanks in advance.

EDIT:

    I created my own region msp_content, specifically below the SEOPosition content area.
  1. Edit template.php, add your own region to the function "seoposition_regions()" using the convention you see there
    'msp_content' => t('msp_content'), and
  2. Edit page.tpl.php, add <?php print ($msp_content) ?> to the desired position (in my case after <?php print($content) ?>.

Good luck!

Sorry guys but I don't understand this - because when I want to set a block I can put one either in "content" or "above content" - the regions are there in the drop-down box.

I maybe can clarify. There are regions in the content or body area already. In this case the theme developer called them "above content" and "content". Look:

function seoposition_regions() {
	return array(
			'above_content' => t('above content'),
			'content' => t('content'),
			'sidebar_top' => t('sidebar top'),
			'sidebar_left' => t('left sidebar'),
			'sidebar_right' => t('right sidebar'),
			'footer' => t('footer'),
	);
}

On your block admin page you will see where these regions are themed. If you don't like the region layout then you will either hope that the theme developer will change it in another release or make the changes yourself. I recommend doing it yourself, its faster and easier and you'll learn about it on the way. There is a great how-to on the region portion of themes right here:

I'm setting this issue to closed since the original question seems to be answered. Feel free to open again if there is an issue with the lack of content area regions. Open a new ticket if you have an issue with anything else. Also reducing the priority level from critical since the lack of a few conventional regions does not constitute an emergency.
