I am trying to show a inquiry form in a new static block, this is what I have done.

{{block type="core/template" template="app/design/frontend/default/default/template/imedia/productinquiry.phtml"}}

However it does not show anything. I am using Version magento 1.8.1

Blocks use the template fallback system. You don't need the full path to your template file from root. You just need it from the within the template folder. Also, don't forget to include a block name for reference.

Try this instead:

{{block type="core/template" name="imedia.product.inquiry" template="imedia/productinquiry.phtml"}}

  • But are you sure block directive works inside static blocks?? As far as I know it is not possible. Am I wrong ?

    The template processor Mage_Cms_Model_Template_Filter renders these variables. Check out Mage_Cms_Block_Block::_toHtml() to see how it works.
