Magento – Adding Custom PHTML file in List.phtml (Category View)

categorylayoutlist.phtmlmagento-1.9phtml

I have a custom PHTML file 

custom_theme/default/template/catalog/product/colors.phtml

I have edited 

custom_theme/default/layout/catalog.xml

I have added 

<block type="catalog/product_colors" name="colors" template="catalog/product/colors.phtml"/>

Right under list.phtml as follows

<reference name="content">
        <block type="catalog/category_view" name="category.products" template="catalog/category/view.phtml">
            <block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml">
            <block type="catalog/product_colors" name="colors" template="catalog/product/colors.phtml"/>

I have added 

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('colors') ?>

to 

custom_theme/default/template/catalog/product/list.phtml

Nothing is showing on the category page.

What am I doing wrong?

Best Answer

Replace your code 

 <block type="catalog/product_colors" name="colors" template="catalog/product/colors.phtml"/>

with 

<block type="core/template" name="colors" template="catalog/product/colors.phtml"/>

and try after clearing cache.
