I created a custom module to create a block programmatically and show country list. It uses custom template file. I passed the country list array to the template file.
Issue is how do I show each country using foreach inside the template file.
My code is given below.
my_web_service.module
<?php
/*
* @file
* A sample web service module
*/
/*
* Implements hook_menu
*/
function my_web_service_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['test-web-service'] = array(
'title' => 'Test Web Service',
'description' => 'Test web service',
'access arguments' => array('access administration pages'),
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
);
return $items;
}
function my_web_service_consume_data() {
$url = 'http://services.groupkt.com/country/get/all';
$result = drupal_http_request($url);
$country_response = drupal_json_decode($result->data);
$country = array();
$i = 0;
if (!empty($country_response)) {
foreach($country_response['RestResponse']['result'] as $country_arr) {
$country[$i] = $country_arr['name'];
$i++;
}
}
return $country;
}
function my_web_service_block_info() {
$blocks['my_web_service'] = array(
'info' => t('My Web Service'),
);
return $blocks;
}
function my_web_service_block_view($delta = '') {
switch ($delta) {
case 'my_web_service' :
$block['subject'] = t('My Web Service');
if (user_access('access content')) {
$result = my_web_service_consume_data();
$variables = $result;
//$block['content'] = theme('item_list', array('items' => $result));
$block['content'] = theme('block__my_web_service', $variables);
//$block['content'] = theme('item_list', $variables);
}
}
return $block;
}
function my_web_service_theme($existing, $type, $theme, $path) {
$theme = array();
$theme['block__my_web_service'] = array(
'variables' => array(),
'template' => 'block--my_web_service',
'path' => drupal_get_path('module', 'my_web_service') . '/templates',
);
return $theme;
}
template/block--my_web_service.tpl
<?php
echo '<pre>' . print_r($variables, true) . '</pre>';
?>
Any help is highly appreciated. Please find the screen shot of out put below.
