RE: dynamicdata getitems function

Not a problem. In reality I have been trying to duplicate the functionality
of the top items and featured items block from the articles in the
dyn_example module when I noticed that calls to this function were not
working when the hook field was added. Blocks  seemed to be the only thing
lacking in this module and I wanted to prove to myself that dynamicdata
could do everything the articles module could do. I was successful in
duplicating the simple block from the "example" module and merging the
functionality and  BL(xarTplBlock) like the article's blocks. For the most
part everything has gone fine until the getitems function wouldn't perform
by returning the "counter" field as part of the array. Everything else works
though. I need to get those pesky hook fields though. Any suggestions?
