Module is a collection of files containing functionalities. In drupalto create a module, go to sites>all>modules and create a folder with the name custom. Inside that folder create another folder named as "Hello world" .
STEP 1: Creating .info file
In the "hello world" create a file named as helloworld.info
helloworld.info file should contain the following things
name = hello world module,
description = module created by xyz and
core = 7.x (if the drupalversion is 7)
STEP 2 : Creating .module file
Create another file inside hello world folder named as helloworld.module
STEP 3 : Enabling the module
Go to your Drupal Site. Click on the modules. Scroll down, you'll find your module click on the checkbox and save it. By now we have created a module named "hello world".
STEP 4 : Setting up the Permission
The next thing to do with is setting up the Permission. Permission can be created using hook_permission() function. Only the users with permission granted will have access to the page. To set up the permission, we have to include the following php code in the .module file.
This hook supplies the permission that the module defines. "title" provides the human-readable name of the permission to be shown on the page.
STEP 5 : Implementing menu items
To implement the menu items we should use hook_menufunction. We have to include the following code below the hook_permission() function.
$items['welcome_message'] = array( => This will create a URL welcome_message.
title => It is the page title
page callback => It is the function that will be called when the page is accessed
access argument => It is the key for an array which has permission for the current user to access the page. In this example welcome_message is the page.
type => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM => It is the normal menu item which is shown in menu and breadcrumbs.
STEP 6 : Create a function for 'helloworld_welcome'
Finally clear the cache and you'll be able to see a menu coming up. When you click on the welcome you'll see the message heya!!How are you?
