editor interface with views I had a site where the developer set up an screen that you went to directly upon logging in. it was a custom view, within a template that displayed all the content. The view was a block and displayed only to editors.  I set this all up but the blocks are not displaying. Am I missing a step here

this is all i have in my page.tpl.php file



  &lt;div id="content" class="clearfix"&gt;
    &lt;?php print $content; ?&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
In your page.tpl.php there's nothing regarding regions ? You're certainly missing some code like:

&lt;?php if ($page['sidebar_first']): ?&gt;
  &lt;div id="sidebar-first" class="sidebar"&gt;
    &lt;?php print render($page['sidebar_first']); ?&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;?php endif; ?&gt;


See page.tpl.php documentation.
