    Hi James- We’ve purchased both of your other plugins, and everything is running fine, but having an issue accessing a block. We’re only developing the WordPress side, so a bit fuzzy on the current Magento (Enterprise ver. 1.14.0.1) theme. Below is the MWI function call and the and the block we’re trying to access:

    In /app/design/frontend/enterprise/company/layout/local.xml:

    <reference name="header">
            <remove name="topCart"/>
            <block type="checkout/cart_sidebar" name="accu_cart" as="customTopCart"
                   template="checkout/cart/sidebar.phtml">
                <action method="addItemRender">
                    <type>simple</type>
                    <block>checkout/cart_item_renderer</block>
                    <template>checkout/cart/sidebar/default.phtml</template>
                </action>
                <action method="addItemRender">
                    <type>grouped</type>
                    <block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_grouped</block>
                    <template>checkout/cart/sidebar/default.phtml</template>
                </action>
                <action method="addItemRender">
                    <type>configurable</type>
                    <block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_configurable</block>
                    <template>checkout/cart/sidebar/default.phtml</template>
                </action>
            </block>
        </reference>

    Tried the_block() with “topCart”, “accu_cart”, and “customTopCart”, but nothing seems to work. For testing purposes though, “cart_sidebar” does work. Admittedly this appears to be a custom block of some sort, not sure if that affects anything. Thoughts?

    Thanks!!

    Also, tried all three block values with MWI shortcode plugin, same results

    Hello!

    Thanks for your message – could you confirm the settings you’ve used in the Mage/WP tab in wp-admin?

    Thanks,
    James

    Thanks for the quick reply, James! I went back to the package/theme options and realized I probably hadn’t set those. Referring to link below, I was able to determine the correct package and enterprise settings. Once those were set correctly, [mwi-block name=”accu_cart”] worked perfectly.

    Quick question though, is the the shortcode effectively the same result as using the_block()?

    Thanks again!

    Hey,

    Using the layout block and static block shortcodes is exactly the same as using the_block in your templates. But the shortcodes also offer the ability to insert products.

    Glad you got it sorted!
