Add block from custom module to CMS page not working

Question

I created a module with a simple phtml file. Then i created a CMS page, and in the design tab a added this code:

<reference name="content">
 <block type="oproduct_export/infoshow" name="block"  template="oproduct_export/export.phtml" />
 </reference>

and also this:

{{block type="oproduct_export/infoshow " name="custom" template="oproduct_export/export.phtml"}} 

export.phtml it's in the right place. What it's the most courious thing, it's because i have the same thing on my local, and everything works fine, and my phtml appears in the cms page, but when I put all of the code on the server, the phtml doesn't appears.

I also created another modules and for any custom modules with custom phtml that I created, is not working on the server. If I add an existent magento block in my cms page, this phtml works fine and it appears on the cms page.

Does anyone know where it's my problem?

Answer 1

As Piyush said it's likely you need to whitelist your block type.

Navigate to System > Permissions > (Blocks | Variables) and whitelist your block type.

Clear caches and see if it now works.

Answer 2

You need to give the permission of your newly created block :-This has been since the release of patch SUPEE-6788.

System > Permissions >> Blocks

Then add your newly created 'oproduct_export/infoshow' block there.

Answer 3

piyush means goto admin panel . system>permissions>block and add your block there.

also when you encounter things like this you should go to var/log/system.log or var/log/exception.log and see if theres an error message.

Answer 4

I added my block to whitelist but still i have some err : Warning: include(): Failed opening '' for inclusion (include_path='....)

I solve my problem by add core/template in stand of oproduct_export/infoshow for block type

OLD VERSION

<reference name="content">
 <block type="oproduct_export/infoshow" name="block"  template="oproduct_export/export.phtml" />
 </reference>

NEW VERSION

<reference name="content">
 <block type="core/template" name="block"  template="oproduct_export/export.phtml" />
 </reference>

and then i change all my function from block into helper. To access the functions in the phtml i use this:

Mage::helper('yournamespace_module')->function();
