Hi all.
I hope I am posting in the right place. I am creating a website using Drupal 6.20, I am quite new to Drupal and PHP and I need some guidance.

I am struggling to create a new theme for my site. I started with Garland as a starting theme and I made certain changes to it.

I have created more regions for my theme and the layout is on three colums.

Some content I added, was through the 'Fields CCK' module. Now I need to move some of these content fields (from center column), to the left or right sidebar.

I have tried to use hooks, or add some functions in the template.php, but with no success.

Can someone please give me a hint how to do that?

Thanks.

I'm not sure if it would be useful in your case, but I would suggest starting from Zen instead of Garland (unless, of course, you want something very similar to Garland). When I started using Drupal, what I found most challenging (frustrating, even) was trying to generate the HTML output I wanted, modifying Garland. Zen gives you a much better starting point.

You can output node fields to a region using a block generated by Views, and then hide them from their nodes. There could be lots of different scenarios... a URL or a more clear description of what you're trying to accomplish would help.

Good luck!
