I am facing a strange issue. I am getting "Invalid block type" exception for a custom block that I have created. I am using the block like this
{{block type="example/menu" name="product.menu" template="catalog/product/menulist.phtml"}}
But if I use template="catalog/product/list.phtml" no exception is thrown. I get invalid block type exception if I use template="catalog/product/menulist.phtml". I have created the menulist.phtml file in app/design/frontend/rwd/verito/template/catalog/product directory.
Again, this code also works fine without exception.
{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="product.menu" template="catalog/product/menulist.phtml"}}
I have whitelisted example/menu by adding in System/Permissions/Blocks. But I couldn't find out the missing link for the mentioned exception. What am I missing? Do I need to add anything else in catalog.xml or some other xml file?
Here is the log
