Right side blocks, how I miss them

I can not figure out how to get right side blocks. I have read many forums but yet to find solution. I dont seem to matter what theme I have on, they just dont show up. Here is what my settings are in the theme.php.
The theme im running right is "labs"

function themefooter() {
global $index;
echo "<br>";
if (defined('INDEX_FILE')) {
echo "<td><img src=\"themes/Labs/images/pixel.gif\" width=\"5\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"></td><td valign=\"top\">\n";
blocks(right);
echo "</td></tr></table>";

Looks like your theme is using the Patched files. So for any module you want to display right blocks, add in modules/MODULENAME/index.php

Code:

define('INDEX_FILE', true);

Where at in the index.php do I need to add this. Question

This did make the forums appear in the center, with the right side blcks still showing; HOWEVER, when the user chooses a forum topic to read, the right side blocks disappear.

How can I keep the right side blocks visible all the time, no matter what?

Edit the appropropriate files in modules/Forums
viewforum.php for viewing the forum, viewtopic.php for the topics, etc.

Or edit your theme's theme.php so that the right block always appears
