I'm trying to build a custom module that has to add a form to the sidebar_first. I tried using page_build hook but that did not work.
function module1_page_build(&$page){
drupal_set_message("Inside page builder");
$page['sidebar_first']['filters'] = array(
'#markup' => drupal_form_build('filter_formbuild',$formstate=NULL),
'#prefix' => '<div class="filters">',
'#suffix' => '</div>',
);
}
I created a function filter_formbuild which returns a form array which is something like this. function filter_formbuild(){
$form = array();
$form['title'] = array(
'#title' => 'Title',
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#size' => '100',
);
$form['url'] = array(
'#title' => 'Name',
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#size' => '100',
);
$form['notes'] = array(
'#title' => 'Notes',
'#type' => 'textarea',
'#maxlength' => 200,
'#size' => '30',
);
$form['author'] = array(
'#title' => 'Author(s)',
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#maxlength' => 30,
'#size' => '100',
);
$form['submit'] = array(
'#type' => 'submit',
'#value' => 'Submit',
);
return $form;
}
I think the hook was not initiated since the set_message was also not working. Can someone suggest another way to do this or is there any errors in my implementation. I'm new to drupal custom modules
