Examples

<?php

/**

 */
block(1, 'core.index-member', function() {
   $html = '<div class="block"><div class="title">Hello World!</div><div class="content">...</div></div>';

   return $html;
});



/**
 * Adds a block in video section.
 */
block(3, 'route_v', function() {
   $html = '<div class="block"><div class="title">Hello World!</div><div class="content">...</div></div>';

   return $html;
});



/**
 * Adds a block to the poll section using an HTML view
 */
block(3, 'poll.index', function() {

   return view('@Sample/block.html');
});

Notes

Since 4.3+

Blocks are not required to be included in a route and is no longer the advised way to create a block. While old methods are still supported in 4.3, they will be depreciated in the future. The change in how blocks work in 4.3 is to give clients the ability to re-position your blocks from the AdminCP.

HTML Views

If you use an HTML view via the view() function you must prefix the HTML with your apps ID (e.g. @Sample/)
