CMS Pages and Block Form Contents

annie_long

I have a static block with some code like below: I want to pass a parameter to this static block from cms pages. Is there any way to do this? I tried using widget but it is not working for me. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. $block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock('core/template') ->setTemplate('widget/featured_products.phtml') ->setData('show_addtocart', true) ->setData('show_wishlistcompare', true); echo $block->toHtml();

There are some steps you need to follow to pass parameters with block form contents from CMS pages in Magento:

Open your Magento Admin Panel, go to CMS > Pages and select the page that you want to edit.
In the ‘Content’ text box enter the following code: {{block type="block_name" name="block_name" template="template_path" param1="value" ... paramN="value"}}
Replace ‘block_name’ with the name of the block and ‘template_path’ with the path to the template file you want to use. Then replace ‘param1’, ‘param2’ etc. with the parameters you desire to pass to the block.
Finally save the page and view it to check if the parameters have been passed to the block.

Magento allows you to pass parameter with block form contents from cms pages. Here are the steps to follow:

Create a block form template for your desired parameters: You may create a block form templates by creating a CMS page containing the parameter definitions. This page should render select boxes or other form element types depending on the type of parameters you'd like to define. You may refer to this link for more details on creating block form templates with Magento: [link].
Insert the block in the CMS page: In order to pass parameter with block form contents from cms pages, you need to insert the block in the desired CMS page. To do this, you may insert the following code into the desired CMS page:

{{block type='core/template' area='frontend' template='path_to_template/template_name.phtml' parameters='param_name1=param_value1|param_name2=param_value2|...'}}

Here, "param_name1" and "param_value1" represent the parameters you defined in the block form template.

Call the block in your CMS page content: You may now call the block in your CMS page content to get access to the parameter values defined in the block form template. To do this, you may use the following code in the CMS page content:

$block = Mage::app()->getLayout()->createBlock('core/template')->setData('parameters', 'param_name1=param_value1|param_name2=param_value2|...');

Here, the block is being created with the specified parameters and may now be accessed in the CMS page content.

Access the parameter values in the CMS page: To access the parameter values in the page, you may do so using the following code:

$paramName1Value = $block->getData('param_name1');
