If you register a function in hook menu and the page does php print instead of returning $output, you will bypass the theming layer. I do this regularly to return XML data instead of a drupal themed page. Does that answer your question? -----Original Message----- From: support-bounces@drupal.org [mailto:support-bounces@drupal.org] On Behalf Of Eric Cornely Sent: Wednesday, July 01, 2009 2:45 AM To: support@drupal.org Subject: [support] How a module can offer its own webservice ? Hello, I built my first module which stores data in its own tables using db_query(...). Now, i'd like to manage thoses tables through a webservice which would be a part of my module but i'm wondering how to achieve it. As it is my first module i'm not really familiar with the API so how could i integrate a uri in drupal site which would lead to a php5 web service and how could i get access to db_query() in that script ? I thought about : http://localhost/drupal/sites/default/modules/myfirstmodule/service.php Or maybe is there a special hook in modules that does not lead to a drupal page with theming etc. Until now i only could create blocks. If anybody has hints, i would appreciate. Thanks, Eric -- [ Drupal support list | http://lists.drupal.org/ ]
