World of Warcraft blocks for Drupal 7

Posted on Fri, 2011-01-21 21:41

I have updated the World of Warcraft blocks which utilizes the Block API for Drupal 7.

I haven't tried it, but it should work as the hooks have all been updated for D7 version of Block API.

You can download the file from here.

Block API module changes coming soon

Posted on Fri, 2010-07-16 11:39

After reviewing and updating Block API for Drupal 7, I saw that there were some fairly big changes made to the way the block system works from a code perspective which meant I have had to change a fair bit of the module for Drupal 7. So rather than having 2 quite distinct bits of code, I will be updating the Drupal 6 version to work like the Drupal 7 version so that the documentation is the same. This not only makes the module easier to maintain from my perspective but also anyone else using Block API.

The code for this got buggered up in CKeditor due to it not handling Geshi properly, so I have removed all the code. You can download the Drupal 6 file here.

Recently I wrote a new module called Block API which allows other modules writers to create modules to develop templates for users to easily create new blocks rather than relying on copying and pasting HTML.

The example module included copies the functionality of the core block module. Below I will show how to use Block API to display a specific node as a block with further configuration options available to the user to choose from.

New Drupal module - Block API

I have created a new module for Drupal 6 called Block API which is available on Drupal.org.

Block API is a new module I have developed for Drupal 6 which gives greater control over block templates much like you do with nodes.

More information is available on my Block API page under Projects.
