CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm having trouble trying out hooks (CiviCRM 2.2.5 with Drupal 6.12)

I created harry.module and harry.info.

harry.module contains a simple function named

   harry_civicrm_pageRun

with one line of code

   $page->assign( 'varName', 'Harry variable assigned by the hook' );


In my block, which I placed in the footer, I used this

   <?php echo $varName; ?>

However after I save all that, when I view my pages my block title and my data never appear, and there's no error message.

If I replace the block code with something like this it does display the block title and the year:

   <?php echo date('Y'); ?>

I tried putting my 2 files in various places such as

/var/www/sites/dv01/modules
/var/www/sites/dv01/modules/civicrm/drupal

and the Modules section in Drupal found it either way, so I enabled the module.

I'm new to PHP, Drupal, and CiviCRM, so perhaps I'm missing something simple?

Hey Lobo, you still rock!

I followed the instructions and can see my variable contents displayed correctly.

You guys have done a fantastic job... still digging into stuff to learn how it all works.
