I want to show some related product in magento theme. For that I updated catalog.xml file with following code.

<reference name="content">
<block type="catalog/product_view" name="product.info" template="catalog/product/view.phtml">
<block type="catalog/product_list_related" name="catalog.product.related" as="related" template="catalog/product/list/related.phtml"/>
</block>
</reference>

And added below code in catalog/product/view.phtml file.

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('related'); ?>

After this few changes I got this error

 Fatal error: Call to a member function addToChildGroup() on a non-object in magento/app/code/core/Mage/Core/Block/Abstract.php on line 815

Please suggest what could be the issue of this error.

  • Please post the full catalog.xml catalog_product_view section and any snippets from other layout xml files like a custom theme one that might influence this. My guess is somewhere the reference is being added to a parent group. Have you tried using another name or as for the block?

Try using the following snippet for the related block xml it appears you are missing some information that this block needs.

<block type="catalog/product_list_related" name="catalog.product.related" as="related" after="product.info.upsell" template="catalog/product/list/related.phtml">
  <action method="setColumnCount">
    <columns>4</columns>
  </action>                    
  <action method="setItemLimit">
    <type>related</type>
    <limit>4</limit>
  </action>
</block>

Please use the following code 

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('catalog.product.related'); ?>

in place of

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('related'); ?>

  • I did not agree with your solution because I am using as="related" in xml, so both option will work. There is another issue in my code. Which I am not able to figure out.
