SORRY POSTED IN WRONG FORUM!!!

Hi,

I am trying to insert a static block into a CMS page but having no luck.

First I tried to insert the static block with the ‘Insert Widget’ button on the CMS page editor but none of my static blocks are showing up in the list.

Secondly I tried to add the code manually

{{block type=”cms/block” block_id=”domingo_home_page_text”}}
and with
{{block type=”cms/block” block_id=”domingo_home_page_text” template="cms/content.phtml"}}
but the block will not display.

Finally leaving the above code in place I added the following to my CMS page design page layout

<reference name="content">
    <
block type="cms/block" name="domingo_home_page_text">
        <
action method="setBlockId"><block_id>domingo_home_page_text</block_id></action>
    </
block>
</
reference>
again with no luck

I am using Magento 1.5.1.0 and only have the sfc_featured categories addon installed.

I hope someone can help with this.

Many thanks in advance,
Garry

Found this post by searching for the same thing. I created the static block in the CMS and then added this to the template:

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('name_of_static_block_identifier')->toHtml() ?>

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunatly the inline php does not work inside CMS pages as these are not run through the php parser, all you get is the php code.

Kind regards
Garry
