I'm trying since hours to get my custom layout handle to work. I have a cms page that calls the layout handle "cms_page_view". Now I want to set in my custom module a new layout handle:
config.xml
<page>
<layouts>
<cms_page_view module="page">
<label>My Page</label>
<template>page/mypage.phtml</template>
<layout_handle>cms_page_mypage</layout_handle>
</cms_page_view>
</layouts>
</page>
<frontend>
<layout>
<updates>
<custom_mymodule>
<file>custom/mypage.xml</file>
</custom_mymodule>
</updates>
</layout>
</frontend>
In my new layout file (custom/mypage.xml):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
<cms_page_mypage translate="label">
<label>MyPage</label>
<reference name="root">
<action method="setTemplate">
<template>page/mypage.phtml</template>
</action>
<action method="setIsHandle">
<applied>1</applied>
</action>
</reference>
<block type="page/html_head" name="head_mypage" as="head_mypage">
<action method="addItem"><type>skin_css</type><name>css/styles-ie.css</name><params/><if>lt IE 8</if></action>
<action method="addItem"><type>skin_css</type><name>css/styles-ie8.css</name><params/><if>lt IE 9</if></action>
<action method="addCss"><stylesheet>css/widgets.css</stylesheet></action>
<action method="addCss"><stylesheet>css/print.css</stylesheet><params>media="print"</params></action>
</block>
</cms_page_mypage>
</layout>
In my cms page in the backend I wrote this in the conent area:
{{block type="core/template" name="my_page" as="content" template="page/html/my_page.phtml"}}
And in the end ... nothing happens when I call my page/mypage.phtml with this content:
<head>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('head_mypage') ?>
</head>
What am I missing here???
