[support] including profile edit form on a page...

[Christopher M. Jones]

Maybe someone else has an idea why the code itself doesn't work. But if 
you'll pardon my presumption, I'm not sure there's ever a situation 
where you should be putting code like this in page.tpl.php. Maybe with 
more information someone could suggest an alternative, more "best 
practice" method for achieving your desired result.

For example: if I want to arbitrarily place form content on some page of 
my choice, I'd use panels.

And failing that-- if you really can't find a tool like panels that does 
what you want, then write a custom module to do it. For example:

mymodule.module:

mymodule_menu(){
   $items = array();

   $item['my/custom/page'] = array(
     'title' => t('Title of my page'),
     'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
     'page arguments' => 'user_profile_form',
     'access arguments => array('permission the user has to have'),
     ...
     );
   return $items;
}

This code, once the module is enabled and all the cache is cleared, 
should put the form you want on the path you just named. If you want it 
in a block, then decalare block content in your module instead of a menu 
entry, and place the block into a region.
