I tried to insert a getChildHtml in view.phtml file but half page is empty. The file that i would insert is a file with javascript/php/html code otherwise if i insert only html or php code the file is showing.

So...i declared my block in catalog.xml in this way:

block type="page/block"  name="product.info.calculator" as="calculator" template="catalog/product/view/calculator.phtml"

and in the view.phtml:

echo $this->getChildHtml('calculator');

Where is the problem?

  • in catalog.xml where did you add your code? under what reference ? Commented Feb 19, 2016 at 9:39
  • In Product view...in <catalog_product_view translate="label"> this is the position: <reference name="content"><block type="page/block" name="product.info.calculator" as="calculator" template="catalog/product/view/calculator.phtml"/> <block type="catalog/product_view_additional" name="product.info.additional" as="product_additional_data" /></reference>

Here is how it should be:

<catalog_product_view translate="label">
    <reference name="content">
        <!-- Will show with out control on the product page -->
    </reference>

    <reference name="product.info">
        <!-- you can call it anywhere in the page using getChildHtml -->
    </reference>

</catalog_product_view>

  • so you are saying the getChildHtml works but when you add javascript to your file it doesn't work? -- I'm happy to help but I need to understand Commented Feb 19, 2016 at 10:28
  • Exactly! Update: I saw that the problem is when i declare a variable on javascript, for example: <script type="text/javascript">var prezzo = "<?php echo ($_product->getFinalPrice());?>"...

  • this will not work!!! you need to get the product collection in your file first. add this before your code $_product = Mage::registry('current_product'); Commented Feb 19, 2016 at 10:37
  • Man you're great!!! Now works!!! Thank you very much!!!! ;)
