Hello all, i'm trying to convert our own theme to drupal 7, but i'm having some issues... when i want to render the region it just won't show up in the region previewer, it even wont render..

heres my region define thingies:

regions[help]           = Help
regions[hello]          = Hello
regions[sidebar_first]  = First sidebar
regions[sidebar_second] = Second sidebar
regions[navigation]     = Navigation bar
regions[highlight]      = Highlighted content
regions[content]        = Content
regions[header]         = Header
regions[footer]         = Footer
regions[bottom]         = Page bottom
regions[page_top]       = Page top
regions[page_bottom]    = Page bottom

the "Hello" is a test region, it there on the block sorting screen, you can assign blocks to it, but the content just won't render...

i use this code to print it; print render($page['hello']);

yeah, there is realy something wrong, i can even remove the *.tpl.php files and the themes stays working, so it must get its data from a other place.... i think it's a cache issue in Alpha2.. will wait on the next release to see if its fixed....

have you tried clearing the cache in admin / configuration / performance?

demon326 commented

yes, multiply times, even the browser cache...

it must one of the following issues:

1) caching is broken
2) it uses other *.tpl file, but thats not possible...

i even deleted all the .tpl files in my theme folder, and yet the theme works and all the other themes are disabled....

can you change :

print render($page['hello']);

into 

print $hello;

and see if this is the problem?

Fixed it all... its was the fault of template.php. i still have a question and need home help, i need to add a "span' tag around my li-tabs but i don't know how....

I have no idea how to do that in D7, haven't touched that version but in D6 you have to create a new override function in template.php like :


function phptemplate_menu_local_task($link, $active = FALSE) {
return <span>'<li '. ($active ? 'class="active" ' : '') .'>'. $link ."</li></span>\n";
}

I had this issue, and I was logged in. When you have the log-in block by itself, nothing will show up in that region while logged in.
I used echo render($page['region_name']); and worked after I logged out.

Hello I encountered this issue of my regions not rendering. I solved it when I discovered that the Main content had to be put in the content region which is compulsory. Once that is in place everything worked fine.
