[geeklog-devel] leftblocks rightblocks

[Heather Engineering]

Something I need for a client's theme:

Currently, there is a setting in config.php to allow leftblocks to be  
parsed to the footer template.

I would like to request that this is extended to allow you to set,  
for each theme, where the left and right blocks are parsed. This  
should be a setting in functions.php (more logical than in config.php  
as you can imagine that different themes would have different  
requirements) to show whether leftblocks and rightblocks are each  
parsed.

functions.php

$_CONF_THEME = array ();
/**
* Where to show leftblocks and rightblocks?
* Can be either 'left' or 'right' or 'none' for each
*/
$_CONF_THEME['leftblocks'] = left;
$_CONF_THEME['rightblocks'] = left;

Also related might be the "enable right blocks" setting in  
config.php: is this something that might be better set in functions.php?

lib-common.php: search for "left_blocks_in_footer" shows two  
locations, one in COM_siteHeader and one in COM_siteFooter obviously.  
If the code for showing right blocks in the footer were copied to the  
header, that should do it. Just have to decide to prioritise the left  
blocks above the right blocks (this is what I want), or merge the  
arrays of blocks together, and change the show/noshow to be based on  
the new $_CONF_THEME array.

Any support for this? If there is I'll make a patch to the current  
CVS nightly.

Cheers,

Euan.
