I’ve been creating my own module that consist an array of blocks. I plan to print them using context as oppose programatically as I already have the module on use (no need to reinvent the wheel). However, whenever I use context to display a block on a region, it always display it on the highest part of html body tag. e.g.
<body> block content rendered here... as oppose to my custom region,
<div class="l-info-bar"> I want my block content rendered here... I cleared the cache several times. Made sure that the context is set to display the block on info bar region.
Here’s my code for reference.
function custom_module_block_info() { $blocks = array(); $blocks['my_block_top_navigation'] = array( 'info' => t('Top Bar Navigation Menu'), 'cache' => DRUPAL_CACHE_GLOBAL, ); $blocks['my_block_avatar'] = array( 'info' => t('Avatar'), 'cache' => DRUPAL_CACHE_GLOBAL, ); return $blocks; } /** * Implements hook_block_view(). */ function custom_module_block_view($delta = '') { $block = array(); switch ($delta) { case 'my_block_top_navigation': $block['subject'] = ''; $block['content'] = _custom_module_block_top_navigation_content(); break; case 'my_block_avatar': $block['subject'] = ''; $block['content'] = _custom_module_block_avatar_content(); break; } return $block; } function _custom_module_block_top_navigation_content() { lots of code here... } function _custom_module_block_avatar_content() { lots of code here... } I’m guessing you have to prep your block so context can actually place it to certain region?
Update1: I forgot to mentioned that normal blocks works on context and normal block display (only my custom block doesn’t work on normal way and context—which is why I though problem lies in my coding—not context module). I also tried printing the block through code and works perfectly but I don’t want extra code I don’t need because I have context on use.
Update 2: I also replaced the block content with print t(‘TEST’) and still printing above body through normal means and context. Works well printing using code.
