If the theme doesn't have a template.php file in its directory, create one; otherwise use the existing template.php file. In either case, add a mytheme_regions() function to define your regions. Each region needs to have a name (a string with no spaces) and a description (the text that will show up in, for example, the block configuration pages). The following would define all the standard PHPTemplate regions except the left sidebar and, in addition, two new regions for a theme called "mytheme". t('right sidebar'), 'content' => t('content'), 'header' => t('header'), 'footer' => t('footer'), 'floater' => t('floater'), 'inline1' => t('inline 1') ); } ?> Note: Regarding ...
