I wrote a simple test module example, 2 files, test.module, test.info, and enabled them in drupal 7 modules.
I cleared all the cache, and still when i'm trying to go to localhost/drupal/hello , i get drupal 404 page not found, why is that?
Here is my code:
<?php
function test_world_help($section) {
switch ($section) {
case 'admin/help#hello_world':
$output = '<p>Hello world help...</p>';
return $output;
case 'admin/modules#description':
return 'Hello world module description...';
}
}
function test_world_menu($may_cache) {
$items = array();
if ($may_cache) {
}
else {
$items['hello'] = array(
'title' => 'Hello world page...',
'callback' => 'test_world_page',
'access' => TRUE,
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK
);
}
return $items;
}
function test_world_page() {
return '<p>Hello world!</p>';
}
You have posted almost the same question once and twice before. Why don't you update the original one instead of posting new ones?
The hook_menu() does not have the $may_cache argument in Drupal 7. You should remove it. However, it should not solve your problem as it is unset and false. Thus, the $items should still be populated.
It is correct, as jprofitt says, that you should change 'callback' to 'page callback'.
There is no such thing as 'access', but there is 'access callback' and 'access arguments'. You are most likely looking for 'access callback'. However, you can't just set it to 'true'. It expects a function name which returns either 'true' or 'false'. It defaults to 'user_access', so you should just leave it that way. However, you might want to set 'access arguments' to something like 'access content'.
Does the following piece of code work better?
function test_world_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['hello'] = array(
'title' => 'Hello World!',
'page callback' => 'test_world_page',
'access arguments' => array('access content'),
'type' => MENU_CALLBACK
);
return $items;
}
It seems that you haven't really had a look at the documentation. I might be wrong. However, the documentation at api.drupal.org is always a good start to look when you want to learn the basics of how something work.
You should probably change 'callback' to 'page callback', as I don't believe hook_menu() has just a plain "callback" option. And since you're working with Drupal 7, its hook_menu() actually doesn't have parameters.
Uninstall and reinstall your custom module. I hope this will help you. Because it's necessary for drupal core to know the newly created path created using hook_menu.

I have two Drupal sites hosted on different servers. In the main they need to operate separately however site1 has one specific content type which I'd like to show in a list on site2.
I can't simply use feeds to import as the original has to remain and if edited, the changes be instantly reflected on both sites. Site2 has no requirement to edit the content - only show it.
The content is already being presented in a list on site1. The list was created using views.
My intention was to call the view on site2 using the following code in a custom module.
function site2_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['content-from-site1'] = array(
'title' => 'Content from Site1',
'page callback' => 'site_two_list',
'access arguments' => array('access content'),
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
);
return $items;
}
function site2_list() {
db_set_active('site1');
$content = views_embed_view('articles', 'default');
db_set_active('default');
return $content;
}
site1 DB is defined in the settings.php file.
However this isn't returning any data. Using the same approach on Site1 (without switching DBs) works fine.
Was I being over-optimistic in hoping this approach would work or am I missing something obvious?
If this isn't likely to work, what would the alternative be? I can do my own SQL query, but I'd prefer to use views for built in arguments, pagination, templates, etc.
Thanks.
I've not been able to use views_embed_view, however I have been able to use views_get_view to retrieve everything I need and iterate over the results myself. It's a very close second.
function site2_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['content-from-site1'] = array(
'title' => 'Content from Site1',
'page callback' => 'theme_site2_list',
'access arguments' => array('access content'),
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
);
return $items;
}
function site2_theme() {
return array (
'site2_list_page' => array(
'arguments' => array('content' => NULL),
'template' => 'templates/site2-list-page'
)
);
}
function theme_site2_list() {
db_set_active('site1');
$view = views_get_view('articles');
$view->base_database = "site1";
$view->init_display();
$view->pre_execute();
$view->execute();
db_set_active('default');
foreach ($view->result as $key => $data) {
$content[$key]['nid'] => $data->nid;
$content[$key]['title'] => $data->node_title;
$content[$key]['body'] => $data->field_body;
$content[$key]['image'] => $data->field_field_image;
}
return theme('site2_list_page', array('content' => $content));
}
Then in site2-list-page.tpl.php I can use the $content array to do what I need. It's not quite as clean as a simple views_embed_view, but it's a close second and allows the content from one site to be pulled to another fairly easily.
I am currently using Drupal 7 and I am writing a custom code such that users with a certain permission("use business dashboard") should see a menu item in their main menu. The problem is that only I(admin) can see this menu item. I have been able to create a custom permission on the permissions page and have set it to give access to "admin" and my user-specific role and have implemented the following code(nevermind the "xxxxxx" that is inplace of the module name, I would rather keep it anonymous for now, but just know that they are all in place of the machine-readable module name):
function xxxxxx_menu(){
$items = array();
$items['xxxxxxx'] = array(
'title' => 'Business Owner Dashboard',
'page callback' => '_xxxxxx_page',
'access arguments' => array('use business dashboard'),
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
);
return $items;
}
function xxxxxx_permission(){
return array(
'use business dashboard' => array(
'title' => t('Have access to business dashboard'),
'description' => t('Allow user to send out SMS messages via database query forms'),
),
);
}
When I log in as my test user which has the role-specific permission of "use business dashboard" I cannot see the menu item. I am sure this is incredibly simple, but I have been Googling and prodding at the code for hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Can't figure this out either. Can you try to break down the access callback, if it didn't work, at least it'll give you a tip about what's going on.
Your code can go like this:
function xxxxxx_menu(){
$items = array();
$items['xxxxxxx'] = array(
'title' => 'Business Owner Dashboard',
'page callback' => '_xxxxxx_page',
'access callback' => 'my_custom_access_callback',
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
);
return $items;
}
function my_custom_access_callback()
{
if(user_access('use business dashboard'))
return TRUE;
return FALSE;
}
Till me if this works... Muhammad.
I am trying to figure out why hook_menu implementation is not working anymore after upgrade from 7.4 to 7.10 for a custom module Menu links were working properly until update to latest version. after update all custom module links are deleted from table menu_links and menu_router.
After many attempts, I also installed a fresh version for D7.10 and created a simple custom module with one item link only (see code below) for testing purpose only. The link is not implemented once the module is enabled. Tables menu_links and menu_routers are not updated.
I have been looking around many possible errors and solution without success.
Really stacked now. What makes me doubt is that I do not see anybody else having the same issue... Any suggestion? Thank you
function misite_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['a/main'] = array(
'title' => 'main',
'page callback' => 'main',
'description' => t('Main front page'),
'access callback' => TRUE,
);
return $items;
}
function misite_theme() {
return array(
'main' => array
(
'template' => 'main',
'variables' => array('title' => NULL),
),
);
}
function main() {
$path = drupal_get_path('module', 'a');
$title = t('');
$build['mainelement'] = array(
'#theme' => 'main',
'#title' => $title,
);
$output = drupal_render($build);
return $output;
}
From the looks of this line:
$path = drupal_get_path('module', 'a');
Your module is called a.
In Drupal, the convention for hook naming is MODULE_NAME_name_of_hook() (see http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--module.inc/group/hooks/7).
This is true for both hook_menu() and hook_theme() so in your case if the module is called a your functions should be names a_menu() and a_theme().
If you make changes to any hooks make sure you clear Drupal's cache so the relevant registrys are updated.
I would like to use the node-menu (see image) on a page in Drupal.
Is this possible and, if yes, how?
If the page you are referring is a custom page output from your module, and "mymodule/page" is the path for that page, for which you want the tabs "View" and "Edit," then you should implement hook_menu() using code similar to the following one:
function mymodule_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['mymodule/page'] = array(
'page callback' => 'mymodule_page_view',
'access arguments' => array('view mymodule page'),
);
$items['mymodule/page/view'] = array(
'title' => 'View',
'type' => MENU_DEFAULT_LOCAL_TASK,
'weight' => -10,
);
$items['mymodule/page/edit'] = array(
'title' => 'Edit',
'page callback' => 'mymodule_page_edit',
'access arguments' => array('edit mymodule page'),
'weight' => 0,
'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK,
);
return $items;
}
If the page you are referring is a page that is shown at example.com/mymodule/page, and that should show what you see at example.com/node/7, then you can implement the following code, in Drupal 7:
function mymodule_url_inbound_alter(&$path, $original_path, $path_language) {
if (preg_match('|^mymodule/page|', $path)) {
$path = 'node/7';
}
}
The equivalent for Drupal 6 is writing the following code in the settings.php file:
function custom_url_rewrite_inbound(&$result, $path, $path_language) {
if (preg_match('|^mymodule/page|', $path)) {
$result = 'node/7';
}
}
I didn't write the symmetric code for hook_url_outbound_alter(), and custom_url_rewrite_outbound() as I suppose you are not interested in rewriting example.com/node/7 to make it appear as example.com/mymodule/page, but you are interested in making appear example.com/mymodule/page the same as example.com/node/7.
Okay; a node page usually has those View and Edit tabs. So my next question is to wonder why they aren't appearing on your node page already. Have you by chance created a custom page template for this node type and removed the code that prints the tabs? Or is there a chance you're logged in as a user that doesn't have permission to edit this type of node?
There must be a reason why you're not getting those tabs; they should be there, by default.
If you do have a custom page template for this node type, look for code that looks something like this:
<?php if ($tabs): ?>
<div class="tabs"><?php print $tabs; ?></div>
<?php endif; ?>
If you don't see code like that, try adding it.
If you DO see code like that, try to isolate what's different about this content type compared to other content types where you DO see those tabs.
Hi I need to create a module in drupal to display some data, not being a drupal developer and after reading a couple of tutorials, i cant seem to display anything.
I have the next code:
<?php
function helloworld_perm() {
return array('access helloworld content');
}
function helloworld_listado(){
return "yea";
}
function helloworld_menu(){
$items = array();
$items["listado"] = array(
'title' => t('Listado de empresas'),
'callback' => 'helloworld_listado',
'access' => array('access helloworld content'),
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM
);
return $items;
}
When i enter /listado i get a Access denied
You are not authorized to access this page.
Any idea what im doing wrong?
If i go to the admin->module->permissions, i have checked the permision for all roles to access hellowold content.
Ty!
From the way that your menu array is structured in helloworld_menu(), I'm assuming that this is Drupal 6. If so, you need to rename 'access' to 'access arguments'. See http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_menu/6.
The Drupal API documentation also includes a heavily-commented page_example.module that's doing basically what you're doing here, which you might want to check out: http://api.drupal.org/api/file/developer/examples/page_example.module/6/source
Hope that helps!
Oh. And don't forget to clear your cache afterwards from the "Clear cache" button on Administer >> Site configuration >> Performance.
=> t('Listado de empresas'),
'page callback' => 'helloworld_listado',
'access arguments' => array('access helloworld content'),
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
);
return $items;
}
Note that , MENU_NORMAL_ITEM being the default value for type, you do not need to specify it.
Also, as our esteemed webchick just said
It seems you are using a mix of Drupal 5 (array contents) and Drupal 6 (no $may_cache, $items indexed by path) syntaxes for hook_menu.
If you are using Drupal 6, this should look like:
<?php
function helloworld_perm() {
return array('access helloworld content');
}
function helloworld_listado(){
return "yea";
}
function helloworld_menu(){
$items = array();
$items["listado"] = array(
'title' => t('Listado de empresas'),
'page callback' => 'helloworld_listado',
'access arguments' => array('access helloworld content'),
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
);
return $items;
}
?>
Note that, MENU_NORMAL_ITEM being the default value for 'type', you do not need to specify it.
Also, as our esteemed webchick just said, you can find a detailed explanation on the page she points to.
