How to print a region in views.tpl.php?

Question

I have a views-view-unformatted--viewsname--attachment.tpl.php. I want to print region in this file.

I added

function mytheme_preprocess_views_view(&$vars) {
   if ($blocks = block_get_blocks_by_region('regionname')) {
      $vars['region'] = $blocks;
  }
}

to template.php.

and added

echo render($region);

to views-view-unformatted--viewsname--attachment.tpl.php but print nothing.

What is wrong? How can I print region in views.tpl.php?

i tested this with mytheme_preprocess_html and html.tpl.php and it worked.

Answer 1

1. Create a new region in your theme's .info file.

   regions[RegionName] = Region Name
   

2. Insert following code in your views-view-unformatted--viewsname--attachment.tpl.php template file to insert region between views rows:

   print render(block_get_blocks_by_region('RegionName'));
   

3. And then put your block into this region.
