Add block to header and keep main menu Skeleton [#1795868]

How can I modify the page.tpl.php file to allow the main menu to print even when I add a block to the header region? Currently if I add a block to the header, the menu disappears. Any help would be most appreciated. I am trying to add third navigation for about, contact etc.

I believe this is the code:

if ($page['header']) :
print drupal_render($page['header']);
else :

 print theme('links__system_main_menu', array(
                'links' => $main_menu,
                'attributes' => array(
                    'id' => 'main-menu-links',
                    'class' => array('menu', 'clearfix'),
                ),
                'heading' => array(
                    'text' => t('Main menu'),
                    'level' => 'h2',
                    'class' => array('element-invisible'),
                ),
                ));

endif;

Hello Josh,

there is no need to edit the code at the page.tpl.php template file. Just place the already existing Main menu block (in this way you keep the Main menu) to the Header region and any other block you want through Home » Administration » Structure » Blocks

Thanks
