Hi folks,

Love this module! But, having trouble embedding into a node. I set my input type to PHP and embeded this code:

$block = module_invoke('ddblock', 'block', 'view','1');
print $block['content'];

The "1" was the block number I got when hovering over the block link. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Here's a link to that test page if you want to see. Many thanks!!

Title: Can't seem to embed in a node » How to embed a block in a node?
Status: Active » Postponed (maintainer needs more info)

The block hooks in drupal core have changed. Instead of one hook_block with operants there are now 4 separate block hooks.

To embed a block in drupal 7 use:

<?php
$block = module_invoke('ddblock', 'block_view', '1');
print $block['content'];
?>

Parameters in module invoke
first parameter - module to call: 'ddblock'
second parameter - hook to call: 'block_view'
third parameter - arguments: in this case the delta of the block

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

This works like magic. However, is there a way to embed a block that can be viewed by permission (e.g., by admin only)? I tried to set permission to view this block then followed the code above, but it still show to anonymous viewers. Any answer is greatly appreciated!

This didn't work for me until i changed ddblock to block and then worked fine:

<?php
$block = module_invoke('block', 'block_view', '1');
print $block['content'];
?>
