Custom block/template into cms WYSWIYG editor

Question

I have problem with inserting custom block/template into cms page editor. If I put the below code to header.phtml it works fine and it displays content inside home page:

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('company_slider/slider')->setTemplate('company/slider/slider.phtml')->toHtml();

But if I try to insert this into cms page it won't display anything:

{{block type="company_slider/slider" name="slider_slider" template="company/slider/slider.phtml"}}

I have these lines in extension config file:

<global>
      <blocks>
          <company_slider>
              <class>Company_Slider_Block</class>
          </company_slider>    
      </blocks>                                      
</global> 

Am I missing anything? I guess paths are correct because it works if I insert block directly to phtml file as shown above.

Answer 1

have you added the block in white list?

• Login to admin panel then go to System > Permissions > Blocks
• Add the block - Enter company_slider/slider
• in the field Set Allowed to Yes
