I've installed + actived the localizer module
-> menu items translated to German = OK

but what about the block titels? I've got a "Locale" in the block configuration, which ties the block to the selected language
case locale = English -> the block is only visible if English is selected
case locale = German -> the blockl is only visible if Germanis selected
case locale = Any -> shows the block in both cases, but I cannot translate the title
or at least I don't know how

Any ideas?

What I want to do

Display a chunk of information acquired from the database. The SQL query to extract the information is complicated. Ie: I want to join tables and do other things etc that Views doesn't handle without extra stuff.

How I can do it now

I could do it by writing my own module and just outputting the list in the mymodule_block() function.

How I think I should do it

I thought it would be better if I could feed my newly created table to the Views module, and let it display it. I figure the information on http://drupal.org/node/99564 should help, but I don't understand where the php code described fits in: How do I tell example_views_tables() what table to join with? How do I later use this View? will it show up in the administrator's section of the site only if I add it as a default view?

What I'll want to do later

There are quite a few different SQL queries I'll be using. Eventually I'll want to provide several tables for the Views module to use. Each one from a different query. I might make a node type to hold my queries, so they can be edited by the administrator. This might be a useful module for other people.

Question

Hi,

when I create a node that is set to be published later, e.g. Feb.1, will the ping module then send a ping at that publishing date?

Or is the ping sent when the node is created? Or is it not sent at all when using scheduled publishing?

Thanks,
Ralf

I've had a bit of a search, and a dig around the admin panel but can't seem to find what I want.

How can I remove the link to the image node in the random images module? I would prefer to have the image displayed without the link to a node . Thanks
