I have my social media links in my sidebar_first region. And these social icons are included in my footer. So in region--footer.tpl.php, I have rendered sidebar_first region but it is not displaying, I know this is a wrong way to render a side bar region in footer region, does anybody have idea how can I achieve this:
<?php if ($content): ?> <footer id="footer" class="<?php print $classes; ?>"> <nav class="footer-nav"> <?php $foter_menu = menu_navigation_links('menu-footer-menu'); $variables['footer_menu'] = print theme('links__menu_footer_menu', array('links' => $foter_menu,'attributes'=>array(''),'heading'=>t(''))); ?> </nav> <div class="left-panel"> <ul class="social-networks"> <?php print render($page['sidebar_first']); ?> </ul> </div> </footer> <?php endif; ?> then in my page--front.tpl.php
<?php print render($page['footer']); ?>
