In customer->account->index I currently have the following Child Html (customer.account.dashboard.extra
, info
, address
). My idea is to include other child html into that page to enhance current customer view when they log into the system and are redirected to their account info.
I copied the information from wishlist.xml
:
<block type="wishlist/customer_wishlist" name="customer.wishlist" template="wishlist/view.phtml">
<block type="wishlist/customer_wishlist_items" name="customer.wishlist.items" as="items" template="wishlist/item/list.phtml">
<block type="wishlist/customer_wishlist_item_column_image" name="customer.wishlist.item.image" template="wishlist/item/column/image.phtml" />
<block type="wishlist/customer_wishlist_item_column_comment" name="customer.wishlist.item.info" template="wishlist/item/column/info.phtml">
<action method="setTitle" translate="title">
<title>Product Details and Comment</title>
</action>
</block>
<block type="wishlist/customer_wishlist_item_column_cart" name="customer.wishlist.item.cart" template="wishlist/item/column/cart.phtml">
<action method="setTitle" translate="title">
<title>Add to Cart</title>
</action>
<block type="wishlist/customer_wishlist_item_options" name="customer.wishlist.item.options" />
</block>
<block type="wishlist/customer_wishlist_item_column_remove" name="customer.wishlist.item.remove" template="wishlist/item/column/remove.phtml" />
</block>
<block type="core/text_list" name="customer.wishlist.buttons" as="control_buttons">
<block type="wishlist/customer_wishlist_button" name="customer.wishlist.button.share" template="wishlist/button/share.phtml" />
<block type="wishlist/customer_wishlist_button" name="customer.wishlist.button.toCart" template="wishlist/button/tocart.phtml" />
<block type="wishlist/customer_wishlist_button" name="customer.wishlist.button.update" template="wishlist/button/update.phtml" />
</block>
</block>
and include that information into local.xml
inside <customer_account_index translate="label">
then I placed <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('customer') ?>
inside customer/account/dashboard.phtml
But no results are displayed. My main idea is to know which steps do I have to follow to include particular codes into other pages. (like: modify xml, include in phtml.., etc).
Best Answer
Ensure that your block
customer.wishlist
is included inlocal.xml
under the correct layout handle (customer_account_index
). Then attach your wishlist block to the dashboard block:This will make it accessible in the template when you call for it. Then, render it with:
I call for
wishlist
because that's the alias (as
) defined in the wishlist block node.
