Magento – Move static block category

categorymagento-1.9static-block

I want move static block landing in Category. I found code in file

/app/design/frontend/base/default/template/catalog/category/view.phtml

<?php elseif($this->isMixedMode()): ?>
<?php echo $this->getCmsBlockHtml() ?>
<?php echo $this->getProductListHtml() ?>

I tried copy or move <?php echo $this->getCmsBlockHtml() ?> in file 2columns-left.phtml but it does not work.

Add bellow code in file 2columns-left.phtml

<?php if($currentCategory = Mage::registry('current_category')):?>
                <?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId($currentCategory->getLandingPage())->toHtml();     
?><?php endif;?>

If no

then you have a problem with the view of ANY block. Check your app/design/frontend/<base>/<default>/template/catalog/category/view.phtml for this entry:

<?php if($this->isContentMode()): ?>
    <?php echo $this->getCmsBlockHtml() ?>

<?php elseif($this->isMixedMode()): ?>
    <?php echo $this->getCmsBlockHtml() ?>
    <?php echo $this->getProductListHtml() ?>

<?php else: ?>
    <?php echo $this->getProductListHtml() ?>
<?php endif; ?>

If yes

Something with your block is wrong or with the template. Check the template and the system.log for errors

Magento – Block type in static block not working

The three websites where it works probably have a bigger problem than the one where it doesn't: they do not have the recent security patch SUPEE-6788 applied.

One thing that the patch changed was that blocks to be used in CMS directives like that have to be added to a whitelist. You find this whitelist in System > Permissions > Blocks.
