Using blocks in multiple regions

Question

In one demo projects I have found that I need to place same block in two different regions. I have the knowledge that one block can be placed to one region only. Can anyone help me with this ?

Answer 1

Using the Context module you can achieve your required feature.

This module will help you to place all your blocks in multiple regions on same or multiple page.

Answer 2

Try it module_invoke

$block = module_invoke('block', 'block_view', 'block_machinename');
print render($block['content']); in tpl file
