php - Whats the correct way of outputting html in a custom module in Drupal -


i have worked on few project drupal, , main suggestion got when learning use views output data, although fine items found cumbersome achieve projects requirements in set time , style controls limiting.

i want know whats wrong doing this, or whats right doing this?

you run query specific data want.

function custom_block_get_item($nid){   $result = db_query("select `field_custom_item`  {field_data_field_custom_item} entity_id = :entity_id",    array(     ':entity_id' => $nid,   )); return $result; }

then loop through creating html 

function custom_block_display_blurb($nid){ $html='<div id="blurb_wrapper"><div id="recent_projects_blurb">';   $result=custom_block_get_blurb($nid);     while($row1 = $result->fetchassoc()){   $a=check_markup($row1['field_custom_item'],'full_html','','');   $html.='   <span class="recent_project_text">'.   $a.'</span>';  }  $html.='</div></div>'; return $html; }

finally display @ end

function custom_block_block_view($delta=''){   if (arg(0) == 'node' && is_numeric(arg(1))) $nodeid = arg(1);     switch($delta) {      case 'custom_block':    $block['content'] = custom_block_display_blurb($nodeid);     break;   }   return $block; }

this seems kind of hacky way things, correct drupal way?

maybe mean using drupal theme layer? allows use of .tpl files , overriding. have simple block module here source here.

here documentation on using theme layer within module.

here official drupal docs on themeing (mainly themes rather using theme layer in module).
