Help create a block to insert view.phtml

Question

Help create a block to insert view.phtml. I have a layout file that outputs to buy in one click in the right column. I need to put this block alongside a buy button.

<checkout_cart_index>
    <reference name="head">
        <action method="addCss"><stylesheet>css/oneclickorder.css</stylesheet></action>
    </reference>

    <reference name="checkout.cart.methods">
        <block type="smasoft_oneclickorder/form" name="checkout.cart.methods.oneclickorder" template="smasoft/oneclickorder/form.phtml"/>
    </reference>
</checkout_cart_index>

<!-- Show OneOrderClick form on product view page -->
<catalog_product_view>
    <reference name="head">
        <action method="addCss"><stylesheet>css/oneclickorder.css</stylesheet></action>
    </reference>
    <reference name="right">
        <block type="smasoft_oneclickorder/form" before="-" name="catalog.product.oneclickorder" template="smasoft/oneclickorder/form.phtml"/>
    </reference>

</catalog_product_view>

<smasoft_oneclickorder_index_success translate="label">
    <label>One Click Order Checkout Success</label>
    <reference name="root">
        <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/2columns-right.phtml</template></action>
    </reference>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="smasoft_oneclickorder/success" name="checkout.success" template="smasoft/oneclickorder/success.phtml">
            <block type="checkout/onepage_success" name="checkout.magento.success" as="magento_order_success" template="checkout/success.phtml"/>
        </block>
    </reference>
</smasoft_oneclickorder_index_success>

<oneclickorder_email_order_items>
    <block type="smasoft_oneclickorder/email_items" name="items" template="smasoft/oneclickorder/email/items.phtml">
        <block type="sales/order_invoice_totals" name="invoice_totals" template="sales/order/totals.phtml">
            <action method="setLabelProperties"><value>colspan="3" align="right" style="padding:3px 9px"</value></action>
            <action method="setValueProperties"><value>align="right" style="padding:3px 9px"</value></action>

<block type="smasoft_oneclickorder/form" name="catalog.product.oneclickorder" template="smasoft/oneclickorder/form.phtml" as="oneclickorder" />

Insert after <block type="catalog/product_view" name="product.info.addtocart" as="addtocart" template="catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml"/> in the node <catalog_product_view>.

• https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-mirror/blob/magento-1.9/app/design/frontend/rwd/default/layout/catalog.xml#L237

Then create a new node after

<action method="append"><block>product.info.addtocart</block></action>

Such as:

<action method="append"><block>catalog.product.oneclickorder</block></action>

• https://github.com/OpenMage/magento-mirror/blob/magento-1.9/app/design/frontend/rwd/default/layout/catalog.xml#L258

Also be sure your Modules block exists you are referring to in the type="smasoft_oneclickorder/form as well as the phtml file referenced.

If you need to debug the XML structure:

header("Content-Type: text/xml"); die(Mage::app()->getConfig()->getNode()->asXML());

This will output the entire XML tree that Magento compiles of every XML file it has gathered for the requests or has cached after generating.
