Printing regions in html.tpl.php I need to output some regions in the html.tpl.php template since these don't change between page.tpl.php and page-front.tpl.php (just to name two). Basically I want to avoid code duplication.

However there seems to be nothing associated with regions in html.tpl.php, nor I could retrieve anything using drupal_get_region_content (both with and without parameters it just returns an empty array).

Ideas?
I solved like this:

function mytheme_preprocess_html(&amp;$variables) {
    $variables['region_name'] = block_get_blocks_by_region('region_name');
}


and then I could do

&lt;?php print render($region_name) ?&gt;
