11 * Implementation of hook_help().
12 *
13 * Throughout Drupal, hook_help() is used to display help text at the top of
14 * pages. Some other parts of Drupal pages get explanatory text from these hooks
15 * as well. We use it here to illustrate how to add help text to the pages your
16 * module defines.

27 * Implementation of hook_perm().
28 *
29 * Since the access to our new custom pages will be granted based on
30 * special permissions, we need to define what those permissions are here.
31 * This ensures that they are available to enable on the user role

47 /**
48 * Implementation of hook_menu().
49 *
50 * You must implement hook_menu() to emit items to place in the main menu.
51 * This is a required step for modules wishing to display their own pages,
52 * because the process of creating the links also tells Drupal what
53 * callback function to use for a given URL. The menu items returned
54 * here provide this information to the menu system.
55 *
56 * With the below menu definitions, URLs will be interpreted as follows:
57 *
58 * If the user accesses http://example.com/?q=foo, then the menu system
59 * will first look for a menu item with that path. In this case it will
60 * find a match, and execute page_example_foo().
61 *
62 * If the user accesses http://example.com/?q=bar, no match will be found,
63 * and a 404 page will be displayed.
64 *
65 * If the user accesses http://example.com/?q=bar/baz, the menu system
66 * will find a match and execute page_example_baz().
67 *
68 * If the user accesses http://example.com/?q=bar/baz/1/2, the menu system
69 * will first look for bar/baz/1/2. Not finding a match, it will look for
70 * bar/baz/1/%. Again not finding a match, it will look for bar/baz/%/2. Yet
71 * again not finding a match, it will look for bar/baz/%/%. This time it finds
72 * a match, and so will execute page_example_baz(1, 2). Note the parameters
73 * being passed; this is a very useful technique.

85 // to enable the item in the menu, either.
86 //
87 // Notice that the 'page arguments' is an array of numbers. These will be
88 // replaced with the corresponding parts of the menu path. In this case a 0
89 // would be replaced by 'bar', a 1 by 'baz', and like wise 2 and 3 will be
90 // replaced by what ever the user provides. These will be passed as arguments
91 // to the page_example_baz() function.

106 * Page callbacks are required to return the entire page. The content
107 * is then usually output via a call to theme('page'), where the theme system
108 * will then surround the content in the appropriate blocks, navigation, and
109 * styling.
110 *
111 * If you do not want to use the theme system (for example for outputting an
112 * image or XML), you should print the content yourself and not return anything.
