Block Region

Block region is designed to address the following issues and bugs that may crop up in block configuration in Drupal 4.7 installs when multiple themes are present:

1. Configuring settings separately for each theme is awkward/error prone
   Some users have complained that block configuration is difficult for multi-themes, because each block status, weight, and throttle settings need to be made separately for each enabled theme. This simple module provides a fix, allowing the configuration of these block settings for all themes at once. "Placement" (which region to put the block in) becomes the only setting still configured separately for each theme.
2. Only the default theme displays on block configuration (other themes look the same as default), and all settings, including placement, are applied to all themes.
   When trying to configure blocks by theme, an issue with theme initiation may cause only the default theme to be displayed and all themes to get the default theme's settings. With blockregion in place, each theme will be configurable again.

Enable this module and admin/block will provide global block settings (the default theme). Block configuration for other enabled themes will allow only "Placement" (selection of region).

Screenshot

With blockregion.module enabled, non-default themes may set only block placement, as in this screenshot.
