Could you provide some more details..like what actually you are trying to do.

How about.... <?php echo

rantebi commented 22 May 2011 at 15:11

How about....
echo menu_block_view('main_menu');
menu - the module.
main_menu - the block delta.

That's the way I roll.

BTW - If you like to display menus that are dynamic I recommend using menu_block module!

Drupal 7: This WORKS for me...

mattez commented 17 July 2011 at 17:16

I found this

$block = block_load('block', '1');
$output = drupal_render(_block_get_renderable_array(_block_render_blocks(array($block))));
print $output;

(here: http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--module.inc/function/module_in...)
This only works form me...

How do I load the block title

LTech commented 3 February 2012 at 08:38

How do I load the block title in drupal 7?
I can get the content using:

 $block = module_invoke('views', 'block_view', 'name-block_1');	
				print render($block['content']);

and I've tried print render($block['title']); and print render($block['header']); but I can't work out what I should be calling in the array to get the title.

print $block->title;

print $block->title;

this's really helpful

With wrburgess's answer, you may get an error if your server is using a newer version of PHP.

Strict warning: Only variables should be passed by reference in include()...

This is what I did to not cause/get rid of the error.

    $blockObject = block_load('views', 'block_name');
    $block = _block_get_renderable_array(_block_render_blocks(array($blockObject)));
    $output = drupal_render($block);
    print $output;

Have in mind that

jucedogi commented 13 September 2018 at 05:59

Have in mind that

echo views_embed_view('view_machine_name', 'block_1');

only works for blocks, or other elements such as pages, created within a view.

The code

$blockObject = block_load('views', 'block_name');
$block = _block_get_renderable_array(_block_render_blocks(array($blockObject)));
$output = drupal_render($block);
print $output;

works for any block that you may want to render.

It worked for me! Thanks.

How/where to use this code?

auxiliaryjoel commented 6 May 2019 at 04:13

@jucedogi I have a .tpl.php file I created based on Theme dubug file name suggestions:

 FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS:
   x block--views--home-slides-new-block.tpl.php

with that file now created, content I write in the file appears but it overrides the Block content, how do I use your code to render and apply classes to the block, rather than replacing it?

EDIT: I placed this into my .tpl.php file and it rendered the block :

<?php echo views_embed_view('home_slides_new', 'block'); ?>

The code examples given won't

jucedogi commented 6 May 2019 at 23:24

The code examples given won't alter the output of the content that is being called upon.

Templates you use will display whatever you place on them as you noticed. I understand that you are using views to create a display. If you wish to replace the output then you need to find the corresponding template with the content you wish to alter.

On the advanced section of the view edit there is a theme information link in the lower area where you can get all the possible templates with their standard content. I believe what you are trying to alter would be in one of these template suggestions.

Depending on what you are trying to achieve you could also use a custom text field in which you would place the output of other fields within your custom markup.

Thanks @jucedogi do you have

auxiliaryjoel commented 13 May 2019 at 06:28

Thanks @jucedogi do you have any code examples of how I could render a particular field rather than the whole block?

For example if 2 of 3 fields from a view or a block are find, but one needs-some fine-tuning with style, how I could separate the fields out and render them on the page?

There are methods that help

jucedogi commented 21 May 2019 at 17:11

There are methods that help you achieve this such as field_view_field.

If you need to modify the output of a specific field then you could also use the template system and make a template for said field. Look in the core modules for the field theme base template to start it out.
