Magento – Equivalent of the CMS Directive {{media url=”…”}} in Normal Block Templates

blockscmsmediaurl

What is the equivalent of {{media url="wysiwyg/image.jpg"}} which can be used in CMS pages if we want to use this in a normal .phtml file (of the type core/template)

Best Answer

The rendering of this such URLs is done when displaying CMS pages or blocks in

\Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template_Filter::mediaDirective:

public function mediaDirective($construction)
{
    $params = $this->_getIncludeParameters($construction[2]);
    return Mage::getBaseUrl('media') . $params['url'];
}

Base on this code, just an

<img src="<?php echo Mage::getBaseUrl('media') ?>image.jpg">

can be used in the template

The syntax is correct, so the issue is theme misconfiguration or the "Test" output is being hidden in the browser. View source and confirm that the latter is not the case.

Try creating a copy of the file at frontend/base/default/template/page/page.phtml as this template location has to work - if the content appears, the issue is theme misconfiguration.

Magento – Adding a custom block to the cms home page

I think there are two issues here. For one, the type or class on your block might be wrong and second, the name should be unique.

<block type="core/text_list" name="content" as="content" translate="label">
 <label>Main Content Area</label>
 <block type="core/template" name="some_random_name" template="cms/default/home.phtml"/>
</block>
