How can I pass more variables/trigger preprocess to plugin block?

id flag

The block opigno_documents_last_group_block is located in opigno_learning_path/src/Plugin/Block/DocumentsLastGroupBlock.php, which looks like this:

<?php

namespace Drupal\opigno_learning_path\Plugin\Block;

use Drupal\Core\Block\BlockBase;
use Drupal\Core\Url;

/**
 * Provides a documentslastgroupblock block.
 *
 * @Block(
 *   id = "opigno_documents_last_group_block",
 *   admin_label = @Translation("DocumentsLastGroupBlock"),
 *   category = @Translation("Custom")
 * )
 */
class DocumentsLastGroupBlock extends BlockBase {

  /**
   * @var \Drupal\Component\Plugin\Context\ContextInterface[]|mixed
   */
  protected $groupId;

  /**
   * {@inheritdoc}
   */
  public function build() {
    $this->groupId = $gid = $this->configuration["group"];
    $tid = _tft_get_group_tid($gid);
    $content = _tft_folder_content($tid, FALSE, $gid);
    $content = array_slice($content ?: [], 0, 4);
    foreach ($content as $index => $item) {
      $content[$index] = [
        '#theme' => 'opigno_documents_last_group_item',
        '#type' => $item["type"] == 'file' ? 'file' : 'folder',
        '#item' => $item,
        '#label' => $item["name"],
        '#link' => $this->itemLink($item),
      ];
    }
    $build['content'] = [
      '#theme' => 'opigno_documents_last_group_block',
      'content' => $content,
    ];
    return $build;
  }
(...)

and is attached in LearningPathController in this module:

 /**
  * Training document block.
  */
  public function trainingContentDocuments(&$content, $group) {

    // $TFTController = new TFTController();
    // $listGroup = $TFTController->listGroup($group->id()); 
    $tft_url = Url::fromRoute('tft.group', ['group' =>    $group->id()])->toString();

    $content['tabs'][] = $tft_url = [
     '#markup' => '<div class="see-all see-all-files"><a href="' . $tft_url . '">' . $this->t('See all') . '</a></div>',
    ];

    $block_render =    $this->attachBlock('opigno_documents_last_group_block', ['group' => $group->id()]);
   $block_render["content"]['link'] = $tft_url;
    $content['tab_content']['documents'] = (isset($block_render["content"]["content"]) && !empty($block_render["content"]["content"])) ? [
      '#type' => 'container',
      '#attributes' => [
        'id' => 'documents',
      ],
      'block' => [
        'content' => $block_render["content"],
      ],
    ] : [];

  }

I tried to extend it in custom module: web/modules/custom/npx_files/src/Plugin/Block/NpxFilesDocumentsLastGroupBlock.php:

<?php

namespace Drupal\npx_files\Plugin\Block;

use Drupal\opigno_learning_path\Plugin\Block;

  /**

    $tid = _tft_get_group_tid($gid);

    $content = array_slice($content ?: [], 0, 4);

      'content' => $content,
    ];
    return $build;
  }
(...)

    // $TFTController = new TFTController();
    // $listGroup = $TFTController->listGroup($group->id()); 
    $tft_url = Url::fromRoute('tft.group', ['group' =>    $group->id()])->toString();

    $content['tabs'][] = $tft_url = [
     '#markup' => '<div class="see-all see-all-files"><a href="' . $tft_url . '">' . $this->t('See all') . '</a></div>',
    ];

    $block_render =    $this->attachBlock('opigno_documents_last_group_block', ['group' => $group->id()]);
   $block_render["content"]['link'] = $tft_url;
    $content['tab_content']['documents'] = (isset($block_render["content"]["content"]) && !empty($block_render["content"]["content"])) ? [

      ],
      'block' => [

      ],
    ] : [];

  }

I tried to extend it in custom module: web/modules/custom/npx_files/src/Plugin/Block/NpxFilesDocumentsLastGroupBlock.php, but it doesn't really get triggered (I am not sure if I can even extend this this way):

<?php

namespace Drupal\npx_files\Plugin\Block;

use Drupal\opigno_learning_path\Plugin\Block;
/** 
 * Provides a documentslastgroupblock block. 
 *
 * @Block(
 *   id = "opigno_documents_last_group_block",
 *   admin_label = @Translation("DocumentsLastGroupBlock"),
 *   category = @Translation("Custom")
 * )
 */


class NpxFilesDocumentsLastGroupBlock extends DocumentsLastGroupBlock {

  public function build(){
    return [
      '#markup' => $this->t('Hello, World!'),
    ];
  }

}

However, it doesn't trigger the block, what is the good way to extend this? Cache cleared&module turned on of course.

class NpxFilesDocumentsLastGroupBlock extends DocumentsLastGroupBlock {

  public function build(){
    return [
      '#markup' => $this->t('Hello, World!'),
    ];
  }

}

Cache cleared&module turned on of course.' I tried to preprocess this plugin block by hook_preprocess_block, but it doesn't get triggered by this hook, only its 'parent' block does. Also hook_block_build_alter doesn't get triggered by this block (only its parent). I am able to get to this block by hook_block_alter, but it doesn't really help, as I am not able to put some extra variables there, I think.

Could anybody point me in the right direction? I would like to either add extra variables to this block or point it to display some other block or unset it/disable programatically before rendering. I spent plenty of time trying to learn about it and trying different hooks, but no luck so far.

Thanks for ignoring my question and downvotes! ;) I totally don't understand you people. However, I managed to understand how to solve my problem and pass variables:

function npx_main_theme() {
  return [
    'opigno_documents_last_group_block' => [
      'variables' => [
        'param1' => 'texttest'
      ]
    ]
  ];
}

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
