You can create your own block and customized its content. Drupal provides the hook_block() function for block creation. We can implement this function in our customized module.
1. Create a customized module by creating the following files.
<drupal_root>/sites/all/modules/custom/custom.info
name = Custom module description = A custom module which create a block core = 6.x
<drupal_root>/sites/all/modules/custom/custom.module
<?php
/**
* Implementation of hook_block().
*/
function custom_block($op = 'list', $delta = 0, $edit = array()) {
switch ($op) {
//Define the block
case 'list':
$blocks[0]['info'] = t('Block Info');
$blocks[0]['cache'] = BLOCK_NO_CACHE;
return $blocks;
case 'configure':
//TODO: block configurable parameters
$form = array();
return $form;
case 'save':
//TODO: save new configuration
return;
//Display the block
case 'view':
$block['subject'] = t('Block Subject');
$block['content'] = 'Block Content';
return $block;
}
}
3. The new block could be found @ Adminster –> Site building –> Blocks

4. The block is added it to the left side bar.

The above example is a rather simple one. For more information about the hook_block() function. please refer to Drupal API – block_example.module

Done =)


Good guide! I would recommend dispatching your drupal hooks though. Or your block hook can quite easily get out of hand.
