I'm going around in circles :) <div>Ok, so I created variables in template_preprocess_region(). I print the variables in region--featured.tpl.php. Nothing shows up. If I print a string in the same template, nothing shows up. If, however, I create a block and assign it to that region, then the template fires and everything prints.</div>
<div><br></div><div>So, how do I get content into the region from template.php so that the region template fires? </div><div><br></div><div>Also, I notice that template_preprocess_region fires for every region with content. In order to not have the assignments I do in it fire for every region on the page, I need to check $vars['region'] ... the problem, though, is the same as with the region template file... $vars['region'] contains 'content', 'sidebar first' and 'footer' during the page creation, but never my region...I assume because my region doesn't have content. Seems like a catch-22.<br>
