Adding a Block Into Region

Question

Using several different themes, I'm looking to add a generic region to the bottom of each "content" section of my webpage. The code I have so far is. . . . with Social Share being the name of the block.

Answer 1

If you have all of these different themes enabled (and you aren't using something like Panels), then you can simple edit this from the Block administration page (admin/structure/block).

If you want this to be completely removed from configurability, then I would recommend either doing a preprocess function for the content region (or hard-coding, ick, your custom HTML into the region itself).

Answer 2

Add a Block Region

1. Modify the Bartik theme directly. Of course, this is not the suggested practice. In the Drupal community, we don't modify Drupal's core unless we are applying a patch.
2. Copy the Bartik theme to the /sites/all/themes directory, rename the theme, and modify it to include the region you desire.

There is a third option, which includes turning Bartik into a base theme and then creating a sub-theme, but that conversation is outside the scope of this tutorial.

In this tutorial, we will make a copy of Bartik and modify it.
