Here's an actual example of a Multiblock enabled block (with a bit left out for brevity):
function taxonomy_image_block($op = 'list', $delta = 0, $edit = array()) {
global $user;
drupal_add_css(drupal_get_path('module', 'taxonomy_image') .'/taxonomy_image.css');
$multi_id = isset($edit['multiblock_delta']) ? '_'. $edit['multiblock_delta']['#value'] : NULL;
switch ($op) {
case 'list':
$blocks[0] = array(
'info' => t('Taxonomy Image: Node Images'),
'cache' => BLOCK_CACHE_PER_PAGE,
);
return $blocks;
case 'mb_enabled':
return 'mb_enabled';
case 'view':
switch ($delta) {
case 0:
// Node Images.
if (arg(0) != 'node' || !is_numeric(arg(1))) {
return array();
}
$nid = (int)arg(1);
$rows = array();
$count = 0;
$max = variable_get('taxonomy_image_block_max_images'. $multi_id, 3);
$suppress = variable_get('taxonomy_image_block_suppress'. $multi_id, FALSE);
...
$block = array(
'subject' => strtr(variable_get('taxonomy_image_block_title', 'Term Images for "@title"'), $subs),
'content' => theme('table', array() , $rows, array('id' => 'taxonomy_image_terms')),
);
}
break;
}
return $block;
case 'configure':
switch ($delta) {
case 0:
$form['ti'] = array(
'#type' => 'fieldset',
'#title' => t('Taxonomy Image '),
'#collapsible' => TRUE,
);
$form['ti']['taxonomy_image_block_max_images'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#size' => 6,
'#title' => t('Number of terms to show'),
'#description' => t('This controls the number of terms that appear in the "Node Images" block. If you use the next option, suppressed terms do not count.'),
'#default_value' => variable_get('taxonomy_image_block_max_images'. $multi_id, 3),
);
$form['ti']['taxonomy_image_block_suppress'] = array(
'#type' => 'checkbox',
'#title' => t('Suppress term if no image'),
'#description' => t('Do not show the term if it has no image. Suppressed terms do not count towards the limit above.'),
'#default_value' => variable_get('taxonomy_image_block_suppress'. $multi_id, FALSE),
);
...
return $form;
case 'save':
switch ($delta) {
case 0:
// Node Images.
variable_set('taxonomy_image_block_max_images'. $multi_id, $edit['taxonomy_image_block_max_images']);
variable_set('taxonomy_image_block_suppress'. $multi_id, $edit['taxonomy_image_block_suppress']);
...
if (!$multi_id) {
// Don't let blocks.module have the real title.
db_query("UPDATE {blocks} SET title='' WHERE module='taxonomy_image' AND delta=0");
}
break;
}
return;
} // end switch($op)
}
