  1. 4.7.x developer/examples/node_example.module \node_example_help()

Implementation of hook_help().

Throughout Drupal, hook_help() is used to display help text at the top of pages. Some other parts of Drupal pages get explanatory text from these hooks as well. We use it here to provide a description of the module on the module administration page.

This is an example outlining how a module can be used to define a new node type.

Code

function node_example_help($section) {
  switch ($section) {
    case 'admin/modules#description':

      // This description is shown in the listing at admin/modules.
      return t('An example module showing how to define a custom node type.');
    case 'node/add#node_example':

      // This description shows up when users click "create content."
      return t('This is an example node type with a few fields.');
  }
}
