Magento CMS – How to Include PHTML

blockscmstemplate

I'm trying to make different page where i need PHP. thats why i use a phtml file. I don't want to make any changes to the other Magento layouts so I just want to include the phtml file via the CMS.

I've made a phtml file in: mycustomtemplate/template/page/page.phtml

that file contains just 'test'.

then I've tried to call in the magento CMS->new page->content tab with:

{{block type="core/template" template="page/page.phtml"}}

but nothing shows up. Is there any way to do this? And how..

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.

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>

By alignment you mean your layout right?

This is what i do for all of my CMS pages in order to keep them in .phtml files and handle the presentation via CSS.

Add this snippet to your CMS Homepage's Layout: <reference name="content"> <block type="core/template" name="default_home_page" template="cms/home.phtml"></block> </reference>

then create a file on /app/design/frontend/yourpackage/yourtheme/cms/home.phtml and put your content there. Align them via CSS strictly. I know it's not easily editable but it's a clean solution for a developer.
