How to use theme block into custom theme Magento

Question

I have a paid Magento template and it has some features like testimonials blog etc. Also I have a custom theme and I want to use the testimonials feature in custom theme which is another store. I have copy all the files into my custom theme and I am trying to display like below code. But nothing showing.

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('core/template')
    ->setTemplate('magentothem/testimonial/sidebar/slider.phtml')->toHtml();

Answer 1

If testimonials is a module then it is almost sure that to show testimonials there would be a block class file also.

Using core/template will not solve your problem. To call magentothem/testimonial/sidebar/slider.phtml file, you need to use correct block class name in createBlock(), because in slider.phtml some functions from block class file would be called.

Please change block class name correctly and let me know if you still find the problem.
