About Me sticky icon

Hello Everyone,

Who doesn't fall in love with Les Mills programs? That's it!!

I love what I'm doing and not going to stop. I'm a Body Balance certified Instructor and currently residing in NSW, Australia. I've always love the music, move and flow of Body Balance. It makes me feel peaceful and create an awareness in me.

When I first got here, I got no idea how to pursue my passion in Australia and I went around asking, enquiring and get info from Les Mills website and people who helped me to get here.

I can't wait to start teaching again, after I had got everything that would assist me in teaching in Australia.

I'm also a big fan of Body Combat. It makes me feel good about myself. Building stamina and challenge on my fitness. I feel like a boxer or a martial arts expert in me. I'm trained in Combat and hope to get certified soon.

Next challenge for is Sh'bam and Body Jam, I can't stop grooving and I simply love it...

Apart from being so into Les Mills Program and teaching. I'm also a Drupal Developer and has been a web developer most of my life now. I'm also experience in Oracle application support and was an experience System Analyst in Finance sector in Singapore.

Creating Modules in Drupal 6

To create a new Module, you need 3 files to start with.

1. *.install (You need this file if you are creating the table in your database)
2. *.module (This file is needed to create forms and other scripts)
3. *.info (This file is needed to tell drupal core about this module)


Sample for *.info file :-

name = [Name of your Module] - Compulsary
description = [Your Module description] - Compulsary
core = 6.x [Which version Core Drupal you are using] - Compulsary

[If your Module need to other install modules first, use this component]
dependencies[] = taxonomy
dependencies[] = comment

package = [This is useful if you want to group all your created Module into one group]


Sample for *.module file :-

function [module name]_perm() {
return array('access content');
}

function [module name]_menu() {
$items = array();
$items['[address link]'] = array(
'title' => t('[title of this module page]'),
'description' => t('[Description of this module]'),
'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
'page arguments' => array('[module name]_form'),
'access arguments' => array('access content'),
'type' => MENU_NORMAL_ITEM,
);

return $items;
}

function [module name]_form(&$form_state){
......
}


Sample for *.install file :-

function [module name]_install() {
// Create module tables.
drupal_install_schema('[module name]');
}

function [module name]_schema() {
$schema['[module name]'] = array(
'fields' => array(

'nid' => array(
'description' => t('Module name NID'),
'type' => 'int',
'not null' => TRUE),

'w_uid' => array(
'description' => t('Module user ID'),
'type' => 'int',
'not null' => TRUE),

),
'primary key' => array('nid'),
);
return $schema;
}

function [module name]_uninstall() {
// Drop my tables.
drupal_uninstall_schema('[module_name]');
}
