Create your first "Hello World" Drupal 7 module with the following steps.

  1. Create a folder called helloworld in sites/all/modules/custom
  2. Create a helloworld.info file
  3. Create a template file page-helloworld.tpl.php in your theme directory
  4. Enable your module at http://domain.com/admin/build/modules
  5. Visit http://domain.com/helloworld

This belongs into your helloworld.info file:

; $Id$
 
name = helloworld
description = Reinholds Hello World module
package = Reinholds modules
core = 7.x
 
files[] = helloworld.module

The helloworld.module file

<?php
 function helloworld_menu(){
   $items = array();
 
   $items['helloworld'] = array(
     'title'            => t('Hello world'),
     'page callback'    => 'helloworld_output',
     'access arguments' => array('access content'),
   );
 
   return $items;
 }
 
 /*
 * Display output
 */
 function helloworld_output() {
   header('Content-type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8');
   header('Content-Disposition: inline');
   return 'helloworld';
 }
?>

The theme template file page-helloworld.tpl.php

<?php
print $content;
?>
