Static block issue

Question

I created 2 static blocks called "message". i want to show one on each store i have. After configuring it correctly im facing an error when i call

Mage::getModel('cms/block')->load('message')->getIsActive()

since it seems not to be calling the correct message block in the store but always the same one. Is there any way to specify the store_id while checking if block is active?

If i dont check if it is active and only show the block with

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('message')->toHtml();?>

i get the correct content in each store.

Do this:

$storeId = 1;
$block = Mage::getModel('cms/block')
    ->setStoreId($storeId)
    ->load('message');

$isActive = $block->getIsActive();

To get the current store id replace $storeId = 1 from above with

$storeId = Mage::app()->getStore()->getId();
