Hi,

You did a fantastic job with this theme. I would love to take one or two of these blocks/publisher modules features and duplicate it a few more times on the home page. This way, I could have feature 4 type show up several times on the home page for different catagories and different locations on the page. Is this possible? If so would you be able to post a how to?

Thanks,

Duplicating Publisher theme blocks

Hi,
In order to add two more blocks below the ones already in the theme you'd need to change some code in several core files, plus know a little PHP in order to build IF statements to handle certain situations in the front page.

Files that would need to be changed are:

template.php
front-page.tpl.php
publisher.module

So, it's not just a simple as posting a "how-to" but rather a familiarity with the theme's functions and adding several more regions that utilize imagecache and other modules within the home page.

I hope that helps at least describe the scope of this addition for you though.

Thanks
