Fixing Static Block Link URL Issues in Magento

404-pagecmsstatic-blockurl

I have a static block in which content I have this code: <a href="/de/sale">something</a>
The url of the project is dns/my_installation/..., so my point is that when I click on the block link it will direct me to dns/my_installation/de/sale, but instead it gives me error 404 and the url of the page looks like this: dns/de/sale, so basically the /my_installation/ part is cut off.

Any idea why would that happen?

Declare your url like this:

<a href="{{store _direct="de/sale"}}">something</a>

If de is the code of your store and you selected to include store codes in the url then the link above should be

<a href="{{store _direct="sale"}}">something</a>

Call Static Block into Another Static Block Through Template

First off, the code should be

{{block type="core/template" template="custom/employee-links-template.phtml"}}

No need to edit your local.xml you can call your static block in your custom/employee-links-template.phtml template, see below.

   <?php if (Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->isLoggedIn() && Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomerGroupId() == "4") :?>
    <?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock("cms/block")->setBlockId("your-static-block-id")->toHtml();?>
   <?php endif;?>

Explanation: You cannot add children to blocks that are dynamically created with {{block}}, or access them from the layout XML, so you have to create the inner block directly from the template.

Magento CE 1.9.0.1 – Using Variables in Static Block for Email Template

The logo_url variable is only available to the email template and not to the cms block.

What you could do is: Create a custom variable under System->Custom Variables called logo_url and then include: {{customVar code="logo_url"}} in your block.

In addition you could set:

{{media url="email/logo/"}}{{config path="design/email/logo"}}

if you have uploaded a logo.

{{skin url="images/logo_email.gif"}}

if you are using the skin directories.
