I've added a PhantomJS Capture module to my Drupal website. Test function showed my configuration works and I can use it from an administration interface. Now, I want to put it on a website, as a custom block. I added this piece of the code at the end of the module, so the form appears on the website.
/**
* Implements hook_block_info().
*/
function phantomjs_capture_block_info() {
$blocks = array();
$blocks['Scraping Block'] = array(
'info' => t('scraping block'),
);
return $blocks;
}
/**
* Implements hook_block_view().
*/
function phantomjs_capture_block_view($delta = '') {
$block = array();
switch ($delta) {
case 'Scraping Block':
$block['subject'] = 'Scraper';
$block['content'] = phantomjs_capture_admin_form();
break;
}
return $block;
}
However ajax callback is not firing on submit. What's wrong with the code or my understanding of this module? Thanks.
This is all code I've got in phantomjs_capture.module, I haven't changed any other files.
