[support] Drupal module with different theme and layout

[Metzler, David]

I'd start by looking at 

* Sections (as was mentioned on the dev list to put a theme to a
specific site section)
* Panels (It will let you put blocks in content body of specific pages).

support@ was suggested as a more appropriate place)

Howdy,

We're working on a project using Drupal at its core and for one area of
the website we would like to implement a section that is distinctly
different from the rest of the website.

Basically, in simplest terms, what we'd like to achieve is to have one
area of the site distinct from the rest with its own layout and blocks,
possibly even the ability to have blocks anywhere including the center
content section - however it would all need to be a single installation
of drupal on the same domain if at all possible. I guess as a last
resort it could be run under a different subdomain via the same
installation (I think that is possible with Drupal?) something like
http://myarea.thisdomain.com with the main site at
http://www.thisdomain.com. I havent discussed that option with the
project team though, just thinking out loud with that last point.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,

James
