Add an area
Permalink
I'm playing around with a theme that has a main content area and a sidebar area, subbed into sidebar1 and sidebar2. I want to add a sidebar 3, not just a third block, but a third container for that block. Any idea how this is done?
Thanks for this I've been trying to understand this piece of the puzzle for a while.
But it does raise a new question: is there a recommended (or defined) list of Area Names?
The problem I see (and I hope someone will correct me) relates to re-theming a site. If the theme create can create areas with any names ("Main", "main", "mAin" then does the site user (content author) run the risk of loosing content?

Standard list:
Main
Sidebar
Header Nav
Header
those are the standard ones, area names are case sensitive, so
Main != main
Main
Sidebar
Header Nav
Header

Main != main
ok...
So say I purchase (receive, or make) a Theme with other Areas. How do I link my existing blocks to them (the new areas in the new theme)?
(assuming of-course that I'm _not_ going to work through the theme renaming the areas...)

<? $a = new Area('Introduction'); $a->display($c); ?>
This creates a new area.
