how to override a block

Posted by jasonzh on December 20, 2012 at 10:17am

I use a module ,name is fist_moudle,to generate a block.
now I want to override the block output in mytheme/template.php.
how to do it?
-----
from this page http://drupal.org/node/350634
I practice to how to override the block of usr login,and success.
but when I try to override first_module. I failed.
(Note:I have created first_module.tpl.php in folder mytheme/tempaltes)

but failed to see the effect.

function mytheme_theme() { 
  $items = array();    
  $items['user_login'] = array(
    'render element' => 'form',
    'path' => drupal_get_path('theme', 'mytheme') . '/templates',
    'template' => 'user-login',
    'preprocess functions' => array(
       'bh_bootstrap_preprocess_user_login'
    ),
  );

    $items['first_module'] = array(    
    'path' => drupal_get_path('theme', 'mytheme') . '/templates',
    'template' => 'first_module',
    'preprocess functions' => array(
      'aaa'
    ),
  );
  
    
  return $items;
}

function aaa() {  echo 'test test';
}

Shouldn't this line

'template' => 'first_module',

'template' => 'first-module',

i.e. dash , not underscore

I usually do it in any

I usually do it in any module, but you will need hook_block_info and hook_block_view. Look up these hooks and you will see how to override the block.
