          Description

          If the default region in $THEME->layouts in a theme's config.php is changed from side-post to side-pre the ADD BLOCK appears on the left thus giving more room especially when EDITING.

          The changes only affect those themes that use three columns in the standard style [LEFT | MIDDLE | RIGHT]

              Themes that use the blog style layout (side-post-only) will not be affected by this change.

              The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.

              TIA and ciao

              +1 from me, sounds like a sensible change.

              Thanks Mary, this has been integrated now.
              I did revert your changes on arialist which only has the post-region as well as one other area where there was no pre-region.

              Cheers
              Sam

              Thanks Mary.

              This is looking great.

              However I noticed the page header is displaying blank with afterburner theme. Issue has been created to address this (MDL-33380).

              Test passed.

              It's working in my latest Moodle 2.3 ($version = 2012052200.00 so I am just wondering have you got some custom CSS in the Afterburner settings page you forgot about?

              @Martin

              Thanks for the vote of confidence with this, it is a simple solution and one which I use all the time.

              I'm very pleased it's found its way into Moodle CORE.

              Cheers

              I think I missed off some CSS to take account of when you are in side-pre-only situation and want to move blocks to side-post. You can't!

              I'll create a new sub-task and link this to it.
