That actually seems like a rather screwy thing to be doing in the first place. :-) Perhaps you can explain what you're trying to accomplish and we could figure out a better approach? IME, if you care about the order that blocks are rendered in, or in which region they appear, more often than not you have a design flaw somewhere in your logic. --Larry Garfield On 3/22/10 9:32 AM, Ashraf Amayreh wrote:
Thanks for the replies. You're right, the regions do render as declared inside the .info file, but knowing that still doesn't solve the issue.
For example, some regions are added through preprocess (theme_preprocess_node) which are rendered on node pages before the rest of the regions. Anything inside the node.tpl.php is also rendered before all other regions. So you still can't guarantee that one region is rendered before another. What I need is to generate javascript inside blocks according to their placement on the page. What I tried was placing a static variable inside hook_block on $op = view and incrementing that, but as I showed, this didn't solve the problem because you can't be sure what regions will be rendered in what order.
The only way I see it is to somehow modify the fully rendered page HTML before it's sent to the browser using regular expressions. Is there a way to do that? And if doable, how costly in performance would it be?
