I feel like I’ve been staring at a sudoku puzzle for the past hour. The answer is clearly right in front of me, I just don’t see it.
Where I want to place the breadcrumbs, Related Items, and Cart are not in their respective blocks, but within the Product View block. It doesn’t do any good to place “<?=$this->getChildHtml('breadcrumbs')?>” within page.phtml for example.
For example: I can pull a cart for the product view page if I call it through 2columns-right.phtml. But the way I have the page formatted, it really needs to show up within view.phtml and not before or after it.
In Expression Engine, I can call other pages without any trouble using smarty tags. How do I do that here?
What about the other way around? Can I get parts of the Content block to show up in the Right block? LIke if I want the “Add to cart” form to be in the right hand column of 2columns-right.phtml, is that possible?
chris, can you show me a comp of what you’re trying to do? I don’t see a reason why you’d ever use a Add to Cart form in the right hand column - this is a disaster for usability.
Usability isn’t something that I have a say in. Its the clients decision, I just have to make it work. I’ll PM you the address.
