I want to add "children" to a given layout (custom-) block.
In my layout-xml
:
<block type="core/text_list" name="custom_html_blocks_body_end" as="custom_html_blocks_body_end">
...
<block type="page/html" name="custom_svg_icons" as="custom_svg-icons" template="my_templates/custom_svg-icons.phtml" />
...
</block>
The block i want to add childs programmatically is custom_svg_icons
.
In custom_svg-icons.phtml
:
<?php $this->getChildHtml(); ?>
And in my script to set the children:
$objSVG = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('page/html')->setTemplate('my_templates/svg_image.phtml')->setData(array('imageName'=>'svg-image-demo'));
$objSVGBlock = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('custom_svg-icons')->append($objSVG);
I get no Error, but nothing happens. There is no child.

Not sure if that work but try
Or might be you will need to call toHtml after set the child.
