We went for the holy hand grenade approach instead:

Nicely written, Drupal-focused answer:

<?php
print '<pre>';
print_r(get_defined_vars());
print '</pre>';

An example output for a fairly complex node (CCK, Taxanomy)

Very useful thread, great helpful people responding to it:

How to theme view module's "table view"?
http://drupal.org/node/87367

Thanks to a tip from

<?php
/**
 * Function to handle a sample field.
 */
function phptemplate_views_handle_field_participants_users_name($fields, $field, $data) {
  $info = $fields[$field['fullname']];

This problem is only in IE6, because it's evil.

First thing noticed: while the background was gray, and not a map, a single click to change the map style (road map, geo, or hybrid) the map would instantly appear.

So with the theme changed to bluemarine, the map shows up.

list-style-type: upper-alpha

See roottruth stylesheet for implementation.

So, it turns out that in your _phptemplate_variables($hook, $variables = array()) function in template.php, the return $variables line is very, very important.

As in your site self-destructs if you don't have it or accidentally comment it out.

Another helpful tip from Agaric Design Collective!

(And no, we don't learn these the hard way. Angels descend from heaven and whisper Drupal truths in our ears, complete with error output.)

Adapted (taken) from All Drupal Themes:

form#place-taxonomy-terms-dropdown-form {
border: 1px solid #f2f2f2;
background-color: #FAFAFA;
}

form#place-taxonomy-terms-dropdown-form input,
form#place-taxonomy-terms-dropdown-form select {
padding: 1px;
border:1px solid #eee;
font: normal 1em "Trebuchet MS", Tahoma, sans-serif;
color:#777;
}

The name of the Agaric Design Collective member who screwed this up will go unmentioned. (The person who in the first version of this note forgot to put the print statements before the l() with t() function was me, though.)

Before:

<div class="lbutton"><a href="/findaction"><span class="buttn2">Find an Action</span></a></div>

So you can pass in the imagecache presets namespace directly into your GMap view for use in pop-ups.

I had (apparently) figured this out a while ago but had Dan going through the code print_r'ing views variables to try to figure out where we could intercept the file ID and change the path to imagecache... and the path was already imagecache.

Any imagecache type you create can be chosen for CCK image

Moral of the story, when you're dealing with Views, assume it can be done through the user interface. There is full and amazing Imagecache support of Views.
