embed block anywhere fails at drupal 7

It's been a week I have played around with drupal 7. With drupal 6, I used to be able to place (login) block anywhere with this:

  $block = (object) module_invoke($module, 'block', 'view', $delta);
  $block->module = $module;
  $block->delta = $delta;
  return theme('block', $block);

or this:

$block = module_invoke('user', 'block', 'view', 0); 
$vars['login'] = $block['content'];

I changed the delta '0' for Drupal 7:

$block = module_invoke('user', 'block', 'view', 'login'); // I have changed from 0 to 'login' for delta at drupal 7
$vars['login'] = $block['content'];

Both result in Fatal error. Any change that I am not aware of with module_invoke? There is no specific change at http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/includes--module.inc/function/module_invoke/7

Any hint would be very much appreciated.

Solution

  • hook_block($op) was changed to hook_block_op() in Drupal 7. Try:

    $block = module_invoke('user', 'block_view', 'login');
$vars['login'] = $block['content'];

    Or why not use the form directly:

    $vars['login'] = drupal_get_form('user_login_block');
