Open external URLs in a new window
Personally and professionally I think links should open in the same tab, but some clients insist on opening external links in new tabs.
<?php
/**
* Override theme_menu_item_link
* http://api.drupal.org/api/function/theme_menu_item_link/5
*/
function phptemplate_menu_item_link($item, $link_item) {
// make external links open in new windows
Print a form, such as a search form, anywhere in Drupal
Resolved error:
Missing argument 1 for search_box(), called in /sites/example/www/includes/common.inc(1352) : eval()'d code on line 5 and defined in /sites/example/www/modules/search/search.module on line 1037.
This was from code added to a page's content by a client or possibly even the previous developer. We completely redid the site but did copy-paste in some pages.
Save as draft
Add a “Save as Draft” function to the blog, similar to other blogging programs.
If client doesn't have administer nodes privileges-- but she does, right?)

Put edit block links on blocks for easy use by administrators
UPDATE: The Zen Theme does this so, so much better, so we'll be stealing from it as soon as we get the chance.
Provide edit links to block and view blocks for admin users by modifying block template files in your theme.
Add an image to a block
How do we add an image to a custom defined, textual block?
You can change menus here:
Edit the custom block in question, at a URL like:
Ask Agaric: Getting the E-mail Addresses of Your Site's Users
How do you harvest e-mail lists for all of the site users?
(Agaric note: Harvest is often used in the context of spammers "harvesting" electronic mail addresses; this is a matter of the site owner getting e-mails provided by site users, to which the site owner already has access, in a useful form. We skipped the terminology sermon and just wrote back...)
Drupal RSS Feed Not Working: Check Alias Conflict
If you have a Drupal RSS feed, such as blog/feed, that instead takes you to only a node, check that there is no path alias created (go to admin/build/path) for, in this example, 'blog/feed'.
Theme Drupal search results

A separate issue raised in IRC:

In template.php, do not paste in opening <?php tag if one has already been opened and the closing ?> tag should be dropped from the end of all Drupal module and theme files per coding standards:
<?php
function phptemplate_search_item($item, $type) {
$output = '
';
$info = array();
if ($item['type']) {
$info[] = check_plain($item['type']);
}
if (user_access('administer content')) {
if ($item['user']) {
On the value of automatic messages that gather data to define themselves
So you don't look as silly as this:
