Add an implementation of `hook_block()` so that current_search blocks are found by core

Looks reasonable - let me test locally.

This patch definitely works as intended, however the Current Search blocks do not :-(. Therefore I am marking as needs work for that reason since we do have to fix the underlying issues prior to committing the fix, otherwise people will get fatal errors.

Specifically, the error I am getting is Call to a member function fetchField() on a non-object in sites/all/modules/contrib/facetapi/contrib/current_search/current_search.block.inc on line 45

Anyways, thanks for the contribution and flushing out this use case!

If it can help, i have make some changes in facetapi and current_search for make it work on Drupal 6.19 with postgres database and solr (module 6.3.x).

If you can test.

Attaching a patch with correct ctools plugin hooks, hook_block() implementation and proper D6 form elements for the settings form.

Needs some additional testing. More eyes are better than two.

Best,
Dan

The patch in #6 was a good start but it did not work for me: tokens were not being replaced, did not show up on admin forms, lots of warnings regarding arrays sent instead of strings etc. I am attaching a modified version with the following changes:
- Added token as a dependency to current_search.
- Backported token code to token 6.
- Replaced default token definitions to be token 6 compatible.
- Removed Drupal 7 function calls.
- Changed class attributes to strings instead of arrays as drupal_attributes does not work with arrays in Drupal 6.

We're using this in production with no issues so far.

I haven;t tested the patch, but given the state of the existing code it is way better than where we are at now so I am in favor of committing it even if it isn't perfect (which it very well could be :-)).

Thanks for the contribution,
Chris

Patch #8 is working for me (sort of) but I had to add an include to the /contrib/current_search/plugins/current_search/item_text.inc file before the class declaration since I was getting an error that "Class 'CurrentSearchItem' not found in item_text.inc on line 11"

require_once('item.inc')

Commited to 6.3 version of Facet API.

Great work. Thanks!

upgrading from 6.x-3.0-beta2 to -dev also fixed this for me. As far as I'm concerned, the -beta2 is unusable without these fixes, as the admin pages are not displaying properly (no item settings, no advanced settings, no save configuration button)
