Hi everyone,
I want to add a new template to the adminhtml/dashboard module, but I’m doing something wrong.
I created and activated a custom Dashboard block, like so:
class MyNamespace_Adminhtml_Block_Dashboard extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Dashboard
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->setTemplate('mynamespace/dashboard/index.phtml');
}
}
I also created mynamespace/dashboard/index.phtml and it’s working.
The problem is that I want to create a new child called MyNamespace_Adminhtml_Block_Dashboard_Stats. I added _prepareLayout() to the above class:
class MyNamespace_Adminhtml_Block_Dashboard extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Dashboard
{
public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->setTemplate('mynamespace/dashboard/index.phtml');
}
protected function _prepareLayout()
{
$this->setChild('stats',
$this->getLayout()->createBlock('mynamespace/adminhtml/dashboard_stats')
);
parent::_prepareLayout();
}
}
The problem is when I call $this->getChildHtml(’stats’) from mynamespace/dashboard/index.phtml, nothing is rendered:
$this->getChildHtml('stats')
I made sure to add the blocks to mynamespace/app/etc/local.xml:
<blocks>
<adminhtml>
<rewrite>
<dashboard>MyNamespace_Adminhtml_Block_Dashboard</dashboard>
</rewrite>
<rewrite>
<dashboard_stats>MyNamespace_Adminhtml_Block_Dashboard_Stats</dashboard_stats>
</rewrite>
</adminhtml>
</blocks>
What am I missing?
Thanks,
Andy
