Drupal 7 - How to load a template file from a module?

Question

I am trying to build my own module in Drupal 7.

So I have created a simple module called \'moon\'

function moon_menu() {
  $items = array();
      $items         


        

Answer 1

/*
 * Implementation of hook_theme().
 */
function moon_theme($existing, $type, $theme, $path){
  return array(
    'moon' => array(
      'variables' => array('content' => NULL),
      'file' => 'moon', // place you file in 'theme' folder of you module folder
      'path' => drupal_get_path('module', 'moon') .'/theme'
    )
  );
}

function moon_page(){

  // some code to generate $content variable

  return theme('moon', $content); // use $content variable in moon.tpl.php template
}
