Hello,
inspired by https://github.com/moodlehq/moodle-mod_newmodule and following the instructions from http://docs.moodle.org/dev/Blocks i've made available at github a minimal block template ( https://github.com/danielneis/moodle-block_newblock ). Hope you like.
Any comments are welcome.
Kind regards,
Daniel
Correct URL of Daniel's github newblock repo is: https://github.com/danielneis/moodle-block_newblock

I love it! I would like to see more sample code for the different Moodle plugins. I did notice that in your db/access.php you seem to have an errant capability block/simplehtml:myaddinstance.
Hello,
thanks for the corrections (link and code)! ;D
I've updated the code on github to correct the capability.
Kind regards,
Daniel
Hi Daniel,
Nice work on the template. You could change the readme from:
Rename the file lang/en/newblock.php to lang/en/widget.php where "widget" is the name of your module
to
Rename the file lang/en/block_newblock.php to lang/en/block_widget.php where "widget" is the name of your module. Also rename block_newblock.php in the main directory to block_widget.php
I have used your template to create new moosh command - generate-block, which will generate an empty block based on your code - I hope you don't mind!
cheers,
Tomek
Hello, Tomasz
thanks for the suggestions (i've updated the readme on github) and for the new moosh command (its really an honor ;)
I've made another template, this time for gradereports. It's avaialable on github too: https://github.com/danielneis/moodle-gradereport_newgradereport
Hope you like!
Kind regards,
Daniel
Hi,
I can see the block listed in Site Administration >> Plugins Overview >> Blocks >> Manage blocks, however it does not show in the "Add Block" drop down.
What am I missing?

Alexx
Your block might not allow to be on the context/page you want to add it to.
Check the documentation here for more on this: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Blocks#Authorized_Personnel_Only
I like it!!!
