Drupal variables in region templates

I'm doing my first totally custom Drupal 7 theme. I have the page.tpl.php file working fine and have header and footer regions working, until I move this: 

<?php print render($page['main_menu']); ?>

into region--header.tpl.php - the menu is no longer generated - the html around the PHP is generated - nav etc. so I know drupal's reading the template file OK.

The same code works fine if it is in page.tpl.php

Any help greatly appreciated.

Solution

  • Main menu available as block. So you can just put him to this region. It's good practice. Also don't forget to clear drupal/browser cache.

    If you define custom variable in preprocess_page() or any other preprocess functions you shouldn't use render function, just use print $main_menu for example.
