I'm tying to show all the taxonomy terms from a specific vocabulary linked to the current node being viewed. I'm doing this with a new block defined in my module.

In my hook_block_view i need to give a $block['content'] a value, i'm putting a 'foobar' in it because i won't use it, and i add a new key 'tags' which is a array with my tags to render. Then in my block.tpl.php i check the block name and change the rendering if my custom block is rendered.

I guess there must be a better way of doing this...

I would love to add a custom template file, that will be used on my specific block. Is this possible?

Thanks, Jonathan

  • does not seem to work :( Added a template with the name block-modulename-delta.tpl.php but Drupal didn't picked it up.

  • Make sure you have block.tpl.php in your theme folder. Also you will need to clear caches so Drupal recognizes the template you have added.

  • Put this in your theme template... function YOUTHEME_preprocess_block(&$vars) { print_r($vars['theme_hook_suggestions']); } This should show you what the template should be called.

  • Great :) This gave me some more block info, and i got it to work by adding a template. Basically with the block--module--delta.tpl.php name. Thanks!
