Hi,
I've created a module whose sole purpose is to add a few banners to the left region of our sites. Here's the code I'm using:
function banners_block($op) { if ($op == "list") { return array( "banners" => array( "info" => "Banners", "cache" => BLOCK_NO_CACHE, "weight" => 50, "status" => 1, "region" => "left", "visibility" => 0, "pages" => "", ), ); } else if ($op == "view") { return array( "subject" => "<none>", "content" => "<p>" . time() . "</p>\n", ); } }
However, when I activate this module, it does not appear in the blocks configuration page and no content is added to the "left" region. I've emptied the cache, logged out and back in again, run cron, and nothing appears. If I put a little debug line like:
echo ".";
right after the 'if ($op == "list") {' line, it does display a period at the top of each page, so I'm sure that the module is being loaded and executed. It's just not displaying the block anywhere. If I put a similar debug line after the '$op == "view"' line, no dot gets displayed on any page.
Am I doing something wrong?

The list function needs to return array(0 => array( ....)). That is you must have a delta. It's good practice to make the delta be a short string but it also can be numbers, with some side affects.
See the example at http://api.drupal.org/api/function/hook_block/6
