I am trying to load a custom .phtml template using custom block. But the template isn't loading. I saw similar problems here and tried to figure out a solution, but couldn't find out where the problem is. My controller is working correctly. The url http://localhost/magento/test/index loads view correctly, but without testlayout.phtml contents.
Hers's my code
\app\code\local\Impulse\Test\controllers\IndexController.php
<?php
class Impulse_Test_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action {
public function indexAction() {
$this->loadLayout(false);
$this->renderLayout();
}
public function testAction() {
echo "This is test!";
}
}
