If I have the following code in a CMS page to call a template:

{{block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="gifts" template="Magento_Theme::html/gifts.phtml" product_id="68"}}'

How would I then retrieve the product ID in the phtml file?

I've tried:

$product = $this->getData('product_id');

But it returns empty, what is the correct way to retrieve this variable in Magento 2?

It's because you're using Magento 1 syntax via $this. In Magento 2 you should use $block

You can get the data by calling:

$product = $block->getData('product_id');

Or

$product = $block->getProductId();

  • Thanks for the quick answer, is there anything else I need to do, as both are empty.

  • @Aravona no that's definitely the only thing you need to do. Flush the cache and remove var/generation Nov 3, 2016 at 10:49
  • Caching isn't turned on, as this is a development version of the website. Is there anything I need to do to initiate $block?

  • you need not to define block because Magento replace $this with $block , So now you can use $block in template file. Nov 3, 2016 at 11:31
  • Finally got it working.... now it's just the rest of the code that's broken! :)
