So, I have a fresh instal of Drupal 7.34 and decide to create a simple theme.

I created a folder in /sites/all/themes/samayo and in it, I placed a screenshot.png, style.css, samayo.info inside samayo.info I pasted these settings. 

name = samayo
description = samayo theme
version = 0.2.1
core = 7.x
engine = phptemplate

screenshot = screenshot.png

regions[left] = Left sidebar
regions[right] = Right sidebar
regions[content] = Content
regions[header] = Header
regions[footer] = Footer
regions[footer_content_1] = Footer Content 1
regions[footer_content_2] = Footer Content 2
regions[footer_content_3] = Footer Content 3

stylesheets[all][] = style.css

Went to drupa and chose this them as default, and I am getting this error for the past 2 hours. 

Notice: Undefined index: highlighted in include() (line 126 of /var/www/public/dev.samayo/modules/system/page.tpl.php).
Notice: Undefined index: sidebar_first in include() (line 138 of /var/www/public/dev.samayo/modules/system/page.tpl.php).
Notice: Undefined index: sidebar_second in include() (line 144 of /var/www/public/dev.samayo/modules/system/page.tpl.php).
Warning: include_once(/var/www/public/dev.samayo): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in _drupal_theme_initialize() (line 209 of /var/www/public/dev.samayo/includes/theme.inc).

All the answer I checked do not seem to affect anything, including this which suggested placing 

regions[highlighted] = Highlighted

in the samayo.info file, but even this could not change anything.

Reset to default

this is probably stemming from the default page.tpl.php which is expecting to find a region highlighted. The best approach IMHO would be to create a custom page tpl that excludes the regions you don't use, and includes the regions you do.

You can find the default page.tpl.php under modules/system - just copy the file to your theme directory (or sub folder templates) make the changes you want, and then clear the cache

  • I am not at that level yet. I can't modify this. I am using a book and video guide to learn about creating themes, so I am stuck at the first part. Which Means, I may get to the point of editing templates later, but now .. it seems complex to just jump and change anything. But, just out of curiosity .. what regions should I exclude from my example to make this thing work.

  • No need to hurt you brain with my noob question. I removed all regions and it all works.

  • the default page.tpl.php contains <?php if ($page['highlighted']): ?><div id="highlighted"><?php print render($page['highlighted']); ?></div><?php endif; ?> - this is looking for the highlighted index, which doesn't exist if its not defined in the info file. did you clear the cache after adding regions[highlighted] to the info file? that should have picked it up and removed the error

  • Nope, like I said .. I removed everything from the info, exception the required ones.
