Replicating a page.tpl Region in Omega's structure

Question

I have a theme with a specific region and it is being printed using some PHP within the page.tpl.php file. It is also using a .js file and a .css file both within the PHP.

Here is the current code found within my old site's page.tpl.php file that allows for my region to show up:

<?php if (isset($page['sidepulltab'])) : ?>
    <div id="style-picker">
      <div id="toggler" class="closed"></div>
      <div id="body">
        <div class='section'>   
            <?php print render($page['sidepulltab']);?>                 
        </div>
      </div>    
    </div>
<?php endif;?>

I have added to my subthemes .info file 3 lines (.js, .css and region):

scripts[] = js/stylepicker.js stylesheets[all][] = css/stylepicker.css regions[sidepulltab] = Side Pull Tab

I am not sure how to transfer this type of PHP region within Omega's Subtheme under the Appearance tab.

I tried adding the above code to page.tpl.php file which I copied into my subtheme from its original Alpha theme location. I do get my CSS and DIVs to show up, however my block region isn't printing inside.

Note: I'm using Omega 3, I have also cleared the cache. The region is showing up as "disabled" inside the Omega3 Apperence tab.

I have solved this issue.

I had to create a Zone. Then add the created Region to the new zone. I then created a zone--zonename.tpl.php file and within that i added

<div id="style-picker">
<div id="toggler" class="closed"></div>
<div id="body">
    <div class='section'>
    <?php print $content; ?>            
    </div>
</div>

</div>

after that all content printed within this zone will be wrapped within my divs and .js and .css files will be applied.

Thank you 2pha for sticking in there with me and helping me with my overall brainstorming =-) hopefully this helps someone else messing around with this stuff.
