“So can the world’s most flexible CMS not do that?”, the client asked.
“We just want to have a newline in our block title and italize the first part, in a smaller font.”
Like so:

It seemed a reasonable request. But for reasons of consistency and security, Drupal core’s default behaviour is to indiscriminately filter/neutralise all markup in all titles.
In a previous post, we reflected on how our Drupal module Views Aggregator Plus came about: "….that [government] project was eventually put on ice, but during its course another module baby was born. We called it Views Aggregator Plus and set her free in Drupalland. It seemed a waste not to share it."
We recently had to debug a site for a customer who was using Apache Solr and that wonderful Drupal module combo that goes with it: Search API and Search API Solr.
We were pleased to find that these components have continued to evolve over the past years, much to the benefit of their users . Setting up Apache Solr for Drupal is now easier than ever before, whether you use the command line or the newish Solr user interface.
When caching is not an option, Drupal sites employing the Views module may find their performances bound by it. Getting to the bottom of this issue on a number of sites we discovered that performance benefits are to be gained in an unlikely corner of Views. We published a first version of the Views Accelerator module for everyone to reap those benefits. You’re invited to give it a burl. A couple of clicks on the UI could be all it takes to put a smile on the performance dial.
XHProf is a great server-side performance profiler. And as we say in our Drupal community… "there is a module for that". Great as it is, the Drupal XHProf module comes with little documentation. So finding out how and where to install some of the unmentioned bits and pieces can be a chore. Especially when you find yourself faced with downloading and compiling various components on a machine that doesn’t have the full gamut of tools like pecl, apt-get or Homebrew, etc ready to go.
So this is what I normally do for Macs, greatly facilitated by Cameron Tod's very handy page.
Many a time a customer’s casual challenge of “But that’s easy in Drupal isn’t it?” has resulted in us taking up the gauntlet and putting in some hard yards to indeed "make that easy”.
Clearly 8,500 D7 modules on drupal.org is not enough.
So while the Google Maps API allows you to create beautiful map styles, that does not mean I enjoy spending hours or days doing that. Plus I don’t have the artistic prowess.
