Seller Reports in Blocks - Views Integration

Did you ever make any progress on this?

Should we pursue this or close it out? I'm open to either but am trying to clean things up for the 6.x production release and beyond.

Wouldn't it be easier to enable views integration and just setup some default views?

Fixed in dev. It will show up in the next beta after I've done some more testing. Cheers.

so, is this issue fixed. I just downloaded the dev version and I did not see the blocks nor the views. Perhaps I am not doing something correctly. Please let me know.
Thanks

Okay, I created a custom module with the following in the .module file. However, I cannot see the blocks in my blocks section. Can anyone help me with me please?
Thanks

// $Id$
/**
* @file
* UCmarketplace reports
*/

/*******************************************************************************
* Hook Functions (Drupal)
******************************************************************************/

/**
* Display help and module information
* @param path which path of the site we're displaying help
* @param arg array that holds the current path as would be returned from arg() function
* @return help text for the path
*/

function UCmarketplace_reports_help($path, $arg) {
    //$output = '<p>'.  t("UCmarketplace reports is a module that moves ubercart marketplace reports in blocks so it can be used elsewhere than in the original module place");
    //    The line above outputs in ALL admin/module pages
    switch ($path) {
        case "admin/help/UCmarketplace reports":
        $output = '<p>'.  t("UCmarketplace reports is a simple module to test functions and pages in Drupal") .'</p>';
            break;
    }
    return $output;
} // function UCmarketplace_reports_help



function UCmarketplace_reports_quicktabs_block($op='list', $delta=0, $edit=array()) {
  global $user;
  $blocks = array();
  switch($op) {
    case 'list':
      $blocks[]['info'] = t('Seller Sales Summary');
      $blocks[]['info'] = t('Seller Products List');
      return $blocks;
     
    case 'view':
      switch($delta) {
        case 0:
      $block = array(
            'subject' => t(''),
        'content' => mp_reports_summary($user->uid)
          );
          break;
        case 1:
      $block = array(
            'subject' => t(''),
        'content' => mp_products_selling($user->uid)
          );
          break;
      }
      return $block;
  }
}

okay, the module was incomplete and adding a hook block to the mp_reports.module file proved to be cumbersome for me. Can anoyone tell me if they've managed to turn these reports in blocks in another way than through going under the hood?
Thanks

Okay, I re-created another custom module but no luck. I called two functions from mp_reports module and all I get in my blocks are the term "array" and the number "1" in the second block. Module file is included below for reference

<?php
// $Id$

/**
* @file
* TODO: Enter file description here.
*/

/**
* Implementation of hook_block().
*/
function ubercart_marketplace_report_blocks_block($op='list', $delta=0, $edit=array()) {
global $user;
$blocks = array();
switch($op) {
case 'list':
$blocks[]['info'] = t('Seller Sales Summary');
$blocks[]['info'] = t('Seller Products List');
return $blocks;

case 'view':
switch($delta) {
case 0:
$block = array(
'subject' => t('Seller sales summary'),
'content' => mp_reports_can_view_reports($seller)
);
break;
case 1:
$block = array(
'subject' => t('Seller Products list'),
'content' => mp_reports_get_sales($uid, $time, $period = 'day')
);
break;
}
return $block;
}
}

I would love some help or advice on this as I am not familiar with module creation and so on despite my efforts spent perusing the literature on d.o
Thanks

I thought I should re-open this issue as I am not sure whether the dev version includes a block section.

Good news, I managed to crack it. If I get it all done, I'll post a zip file with the module I created for it.
