I'm following the instructions at http://docs.moodle.org/en/Development:Blocks#Ready.2C_Set.2C_Go.21 on a reasonably fresh beta of 2.0 at the point where the basic file has been created and I expect to see something about the block in Admin Notifications nothing seems to happen.
Does this work differently in 2.0?
I'm a relative newb to Moodle, the instance is running on XAMPP

Hi,
I am using custom made block in Moodle 2.0 .I am trying to get few images appear in the block but they don't appear and it shows a broken image on the page.
Everything worked just fine in Moodle1.9.Any changes that i need to make in 2.0 for images to appear in the block.
Thank you.
Have the images moved? Are you getting any errors to go with the broken image? What happens if you call the image url itself rather than as the src of an <img> tag?
The old way of accessing the pix folder ($CFG->pixpath) is no longer supported. Instead you might need to use the new $OUTPUT global, which can do something like $OUTPUT->pix_url('i/edit'); to get the url for the edit icon. The $OUTPUT functions are well documented in the code, so I won't go through it all here, but basically you give the name of the image in the first parameter, and any plug-in location as a second parameter - so you might need to add your block in there.
