In order to call a block method from a Magento 1 template, you will first need to get an instance of the block object. This can be done using the following code:

$block = Mage::app()->getLayout()->createBlock('block_name');

Once you have an instance of the block object, you can then call any public methods on it. For example, if the block has a public method called sayHello(), you can call it like this:

$block->sayHello();

Assuming you have a block with a method named "doSomething()"...

In your Magento 1 template, you can call that method like so:

$this->getLayout()->getBlock('your_block_name')->doSomething();

Of course, you'll need to substitute "your_block_name" with the actual name of your block.
