Adding a block to magento category page using local.xml -
Before posting it, I have looked at the following, but not all of them helped me and I Was not able to add block
I want to add an image of the category at the top of the page. This product list view , And I want to put it above the left navigation, so that it can take full page width.
I have created a template file in mytheme / template / catalog / category / image.phtml and I have just added some text "I am here" < P> After that, I will call my local.xml file to catalog_category_default But it still does not work and the text is not displayed there. When this text is displayed, I will display the image of the category, but for now I just want to work on the block and want to display it at the top of the page. Thank you Your category layout may not load handling Then include the handles in both the class handle.
& lt; Reference Name = "Content" & gt; & Lt; Block type = "catalog / category_view" name = "category.image" template = "catalog / category / image.file" & gt; & Lt; / Block & gt; & Lt; / References & gt;
catalog_category_default . There are 2 handles for categories
_default and
_layered .
To ensure that you cover both cases and therefore you will not duplicate this approach to markup.
Define your custom handle
& lt; My_awsome_category_handle & gt; & Lt; Reference Name = "Content" & gt; & Lt; Block type = "catalog / category_view" name = "category.image" template = "catalog / category / image.file" & gt; & Lt; / Block & gt; & Lt; / References & gt; & Lt; / My_awsome_category_handle & gt;
& lt; Catalog_category_default & gt; & Lt; Update handle = "my_awsome_category_handle" /> & Lt; / Catalog_category_default & gt; & Lt; Catalog_category_layered & gt; & Lt; Update handle = "my_awsome_category_handle" /> & Lt; / Catalog_category_layered & gt;
