Issue displaying custom block

  • I am attempting to display the newsletter block on my wordpress page.
    local.xml contains:

    <reference name="footer">
<block type="newsletter/subscribe" name="footer.newsletter" template="newsletter/subscribe.phtml"/>
</reference>

    footer.phtm contains:

    echo $this->getChildHtml('footer.newsletter')

    WP’s footer.php contains:

    the_block('footer.newsletter');

    WP will not display the block though. It only says “Sorry, that block could not be found.” If I use left.newsletter as the block name, it will display the default newsletter template, but I need it to use my custom file. Am I doing something wrong?

    Hi both,

    I will check into this issue and report back shortly.

    I’m having a similar issue w custom blocks and think I must be missing something..

    ` echo “<li class=’page_item’>”;
    $staticblock = get_static_block(‘test_block’);
    echo $staticblock;
    echo “</li>”;

    echo “<li class=’page_item’>”;
    $block = get_block(“catalog.topnav”);
    echo $block;
    echo “</li>”; `

    the first block, a static block, renders just fine. block 2, a default custom block, does not. please advise.

    PS–?Just found this code and it works like a champ.. https://asia-connect.com.vn/2009/09/run-magento-code-outside-of-magento/#printSource mwi plugin acts like the include so you don’t need it but the rest is gold.

    Hi Guys,

    I’ve just tested this and it seems to work fine for me!

    Could you double check that you’ve entered your theme settings into the Mage/WP settings area in WordPress?

    yes.. I think.. and the theme seems to be functioning fine.

    here is a screenshot of my settings https://images.powermonitors.com/080213.png

    while I have you on the phone… any thoughts on adding qty input to your shortcode?? trying to figure that out but I am sort of a novice when it come to php

    Are you sure your theme isn’t in the default package? For example:

    app/design/frontend/default/go4template?

    I’m updating the shortcodes soon, so may add that in as a feature.

    yeah–?that’s exactly where it is… I installed it via Magento– and that’s where it ended up… it’s also where the documentation says it goes. I thought I read your site carefully.. is this folder supposed to be installed elsewhere for this plugin to function?

    It just means your settings are wrong. The package name should be default

    Could you confirm whether this was the issue?
