Theme development

I downloaded and installed 4.7.4 and then downloaded a number of themes to begin experimenting and learning some of the nuances of Drupal, themes, PHP and MySQL.

When I set "warped" as my theme the navigation menu does not display on the right. I've dug into the code and as near as I can tell the variable $sidebar_right is not being set. I've changed the "Navigation" block to right_sidebar which didn't help.

Could someone explain - where or how this variable would get set. I simply can not find it!

Thank you,

Kevin

Hello,
I searched through the handbooks and the forum and did not find a way to do what I want.

I'd like to theme the way some blocks render to the screen. Something like that :

Newbie here working on first Drupal install. Have configured the event calendar and love the sidebar view but would like to add a hyperlink under it (probably to the event rss feed or ical link). I have no idea where to find the code that organises the layout of the sidebar view so I can add the code required.

Site URL is: www.sandhurstschool.org.uk

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

In my page.tpl.php I have the line:

<?php print $content; ?>

which contains the page and its comments.
I would like to stick a block in between, but that means I need to somehow separate the page from its comments.
How can I do this?

Hi !
For some reason, I'd like to display the main content in a block.
Do you think it's possible to just add some code of the page.tlp.php in a block and it will work ?

Thank you.
