Remove Static Block from Footer on Contact Us Page in Magento 1.9

contact-uslayoutmagento-1.9

I have added two static blocks in footer.phtml. Now I want to remove the those blocks from footer at contact us page for this I go to app/design/frontend/default/MY TEmplate/layout/contacts.xml and in paste the following code there:

<reference name="footer">
    <remove name="shopper_footer_banners"/> 
</reference>`

Where shopper_footer_banners is the name of the block which I want to remove then I will right this code in local.xml file but couldn't succeed so anyone please help me.

<remove /> is a node which doesn't need to be inside any other node or reference. It is applied "globally" and last, so wherever you put it, it is applied.

You didn't post your complete contacs.xml so I can only guess, but this should work:

<contacts_index_index translate="label">
    <remove name="shopper_footer_banners"/>
</contacts_index_index>

If it doesn't make sure your block has exactly this name and your layout cache is up to date.

Magento – Magento Core: identical block name in one handle

Erfan is right that the html is outputted twice, once as a child of 'checkout.onepage.login' and once as a child of 'checkout.onepage.billing'

Thus there are two child blocks with the same name. Each can have a different template, and each gets rendered as a child of the parent.

To change the persistent block in either of the parent blocks, you need to target the parent block directly such as:

<checkout_onepage_index>
    <reference name="checkout.onepage.login">
            <block type="persistent/form_remember" name="persistent.remember.me" template="my/custom/template.phtml" />
        </reference>
</checkout_onepage_index>

The above will only change the template in the login block.

If you only target the child block 'persistent.remember.me' then magento seems to only change the occurrence of the first found block. Start Speculation: This is most likely in order or alpha occurrence , with 'checkout.onepage.billing' appearing alphabetically before 'checkout.onepage.login', in whatever array is used to store the block internally. The fact that .billing is rendered after .login just makes it look like it is only changing the second occurrence. :) End Speculation

Magento – Reference a block in static page

Blocks instantiated by the {{block}} directive in can not be referenced from layout XML files.

That is because they are instantiated during the processing of the renderLayout() step, which calls each blocks toHtml() method.

The layout XML is processed before that, during the execution of the loadLayout() step.

To work around this, declare the child blocks without a parent block in the layout XML

<layout>
    <default>
        <block type="custommodule/search_bysize" name="search_by_size" template="custommodule/search/by-size.phtml" />
        <block type="custommodule/search_byvehicle" name="search_by_vehicle" template="custommodule/search/by-vehicle.phtml" />
    </default>
</layout>

Then, in your custommodule/search block template use getBlockHtml() instead of getChildHtml().

<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('search_by_size') ?>
<?php echo $this->getBlockHtml('search_by_vehicle') ?>
