Question

i have a custom table in my drupal database.

1. I am storing records in this table with the help of a form in a custom module. Admin will add records from this form. The fields are name, date, etc.

2. Now the end users must be able to view these records in the front end of the site, in a block. It should display name field of each record and allow the users to click on the name and perform operations like voting for it.

I am done with the first task, how can i implement the second task ?

Answer 1

You will have to create your own module, and in that module you implement the hook_block() method to return formated html. Inside your hook_block() you are free to do whatever database query you need to generate the html.
