Hi,
I've been fiddling with what you sent, trying to get a new menu to appear on
the frontend, but I'm getting nowhere. My first problem is that function
overrides just don't seem to be happening:
> As a general rule, you should use phptemplate_foo() instead of themename_foo()
> in most cases. The exception is when the PHPTemplate engine itself
already has
> a phptemplate_foo() function in the phptemplate.engine file.
Re: the documentation at <http://drupal.org/node/29139>, I thought I'd get
an immediate effect by writing an override for phptemplate_regions() .
My theme directory is "garlandquux" (no guesses for what that's based on!)
so presumably the function should be called garlandquux_regions() ? So if I
put in template.php:
<?php
function garlandquux_regions() {
return array();
}
?>
then shouldn't my garland-based page lose all its content? Nothing seems to
happen when I do the above.
My second problem is that I probably won't know where to go from there: I
want a different set of primary links to appear in admin and on the
frontend. I have a separate menu set up, but I can't see how to bring that
into garlandquux's templates.
Cheers,
J-P
