Print block directly in a theme with its title

[A post to a lengthening thread on the Massachusetts Ubuntu e-mail list about raising $250,000 to put an Ubuntu ad in the New York Times.]

It's a lot (probably too much) to ask any group or organization to be the first, but we the people who give a damn about our human condition have to break a dependence on media that help the unconscionable become accepted.

(Colloquy lost the beginning, buh.)

Another binary logs of death follow-up.:

OK, so the situation is that we have a custom front page, page-front.tpl.php and we want to call a GMap view.

GMaps does not like to be shown through a view called directly by a theme.

We tried every possible way we could think of including drupal_add_js() in modules and the page-front.tpl.php and nothing worked.

Ultimately, we put the two <script > javascript lines that were missing (using the sophisticated technique of viewing source on the view/map page that worked and the home page that didn't).

Moral of the story, you should not use automatic online translation services such as Babelfish or any computer translation of human languages for any important communication, including your web site.

Searched for "drupal keeps refreshing cache" and found a wonderful pro-Drupal pitch with this reminder:

Caching

Never forget: I have found it easier to rewrite from scratch than fully understand/fix

This kind of thing can happen if you don't read the clear documentation on how to add languages and how NOT to overwrite existing languages as you improve your multilingual Drupal site.

If it's your custom language, yeah, that sucks if you didn't back up your database nor export the language.
