Template doesn't load on custom theme

Question

I have a problem with loading a new template on payment methods section on checkout, but only on my custom theme. I have created a custom module that adds a new block with template in the above section.

My layout.xml is:

<layout version="0.1.0">
    <checkout_onepage_index>
        <reference name="checkout.onepage.payment">
            <block type="core/text_list" name="checkout.payment.methods.additional" as="methods_additional">
                <block type="core/template" name="cardcadou" template="cardcadou/cardcadou.phtml"/>
            </block>
        </reference>
    </checkout_onepage_index>
</layout>

The problem is that I tested on rwd theme and the template is displayed correctly, but on my custom theme it is not displayed at all.

I've checked if the layout.xml is called by adding this code under the <checkout_onepage_index>:

<reference name="head">
    <action method="addJs">
        <script>test/test.js</script>
    </action>
</reference>

And I looked in my page source and the js file is loaded, so the layout.xml is called.

What am I doing wrong here?

Answer 1

1. app/design/frontend/{currentTheme}/{themeName}/layout/local.xml

<checkout_onepage_index>
    <reference name="root">
        <block type="core/template" name="my.cardcadou" template="cardcadou/cardcadou.phtml"/>
    </reference>
</checkout_onepage_index>

2. app/design/frontend/{currentTheme}/{themeName}/template/cardcadou/cardcadou.phtml

Your code goes here

3. app/design/frontend/{currentTheme}/{themeName}/template/checkout/onepage/payment.phtml

<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('my.cardcadou'); ?>

Good luck.

May I know your template files folder location.?.

Then Goto Admin section,

• Navigate to System -> Configuration in your admin panel.
• Select your Store.
• Now you should navigate to System -> Configuration -> Design
• Check the "Package Name and Theme Name".
• Change it according to Your Package and theme name.
• Save and Clear Cache.

Check the changes now.
