Hi all,
I have used the http://drupal.org/node/65064 information in order to have a different frontpage then the default of the rest of my site.
This is working like a charm except that I am lost at the moment how content has to be published.
I have divided the frontpage in 3 eareas, the default header and then a frontpage top and frontpage down. down i have 4 teasers which are floating in a square. This content is published with the $content variable.
But, now I want to publish content in the top earea for which I can not use content again. However, all the content made with Drupal is printed with the $content variable which is used at frontpage down already.
So the question is, how can you publish content in frontpage top? I looked at creating a new block but there you dont have the options as you have when creating a page or story. The only thing you can do there is putting in HTML PHP or whatever which I dont want to. I just want to make a normal page as I do for the default pages and the frontpage down.
Basically it comes down to a feature which will ask me, where do you want to put this page? Default is $content and I would like to give then the option a new block which I print with $blockname or $frontpage top.
Hopefully it is clear what I want. It does not matter how it done as long as it is easy and fast ;).
Here is some code from page.tpl.php
