place own block from module to the left of the screen This is the first time i'm making a module for drupal.
In my module I create a block with a vertical menu in it.
I would like to place the block glued to the left of the screen (out the wrapper).

So far i tried to make my own region in the module (which worked) but I can't get the region to appear in the website. I know i would have to do this in the page.tpl.php from the theme, but I'm trying to do this through my module only.

So is there a way to make the website take the region?
Is there a other/better way to place the block to the left?

thanks in advance!
TL
You have to edit your theme's template to create a new region.

You will need to add something like:

&lt;?php print render($page['your_region']); ?&gt;


Without this nothing in that region will ever get rendered.

You will also need to add it to your themes .info file.
