hi,
but its not creating a block also. i need one simple module which also create a block means a block module.

so plz help me about this block module.

 

Blocks can be created by using hook_block
Check the link and look at the example at the end.

You can write the hook inside your module.

Are you sure, you want to create block melodramatically and not using the administer blocks screen ?

 

This tutorial was for Drupal 4.7. With Drupal 5 and Drupal 6 accession is abundant easier. Just upload the files to your server and appointment your site. Follow the admonition on the awning and you are done!

I've apprehend some reviews of Drupal online that affirmation Drupal is adamantine to install.

I'm not abiding what kinds of problems bodies accept had, but installing Drupal is absolutely actual accessible if you server is configured correctly.

There are alone four steps:

1. Upload Drupal to your server (for Drupal hosting, I acclaim Site5)

2. Create a database and database user

3. Edit the book /sites/default/settings.php to add your database affiliation information

4. Create the database tables application the adapted .sql book in the /database directory

 

A module is a collection of functions that link into Drupal, providing additional functionality to your Drupal installation. After reading this tutorial, you will be able to create a basic block module and use it as a template for more advanced modules and node modules.

Getting Started: Creating a directory for your module and the initial .module file
Telling Drupal about your module: Creating a .info file for your module, and implementing hook_help() to provide a brief description of your module in Drupal's help system
Telling Drupal who can use your module: Implementing hook_perm(), which defines permission types for your module
Declaring block content: Start of implementation of hook_block() -- the part that tells Drupal our module deploys a block
Generating the block content: Finish implementing hook_block() -- the part that actually displays the block content. This involves running a database query to retrieve recent blog and forum posts, and then displaying them.
Installing, enabling and testing the module: Getting the initial module working
Creating a module configuration (settings) page: Modifying the module so that the user can define what "recent" means, by implementing hook_menu() and using the Drupal Form API to define a settings page
Generating page content: Adding a full page view to the module, in case there are more recent posts than will fit easily in the block - part 1: write a function that generates the page
Letting Drupal know about the new function: Part 2 of adding the full page view to the module -- using hook_menu() to give the page a URL
Adding a 'more' link and showing all entries: Part 3 of adding the full page view to the module -- linking the new URL as a "more" link in the block
