I am trying to figure out a way to either create a block or have someone show me how to create a block for my journal entries. I simply want something that shows the members on the site what the last five journal entries are and who made them. I only want there to be a link to the journal entry and not a link to the user profile name. I also want there to be a link to the entire journal page at the bottom of the block. There need not be dates or any other information than what I described above.

I've been trying to figure this out on my own, but either the instructions that I find are too thick for me, because I don't know how to write php code, or they don't give enough information for me to understand what they are referring to when they mention certain things. For instance things like $content, output, OpenTable, echo, $result, database abstraction (in regards to my website), or how to figure out what these are, where to find them and what to do with them once they are found. I mean, it seemed, at first like, it was going to be pretty straight forward, but when I decided to try this journal thing, I realized that I didn't know what I was doing at all.

So if someone could give me a hand I'd be appreciative. At first I tried to simply change some blocks that were similar to what I wanted, but I have no idea where to get the information from that I need to change those blocks and I don't know what to remove and what to keep.

Here is an image of what I'm looking for:



Please help if you can, I would be grateful!!!

Attach your modules/Journal/index.php in a zip file and I will make you up one.

That index.php doesn't help me much. Can you zip up the whole module and attach it for me?
