Subject: Re: How to use blocks?

 

I use them mainly for injecting little bits of javascript... but essentially
you:

1) create a view or an element
2) stick the "block" code in that view or element
3) echo that "block" in a view or element which is currently being loaded.

e.g.

default.ctp

<?php echo $this->element('sidebar'); ?>

sidebar.ctp

<?php

$this->start('sidebar.block');
// block code...
$this->end();

// other code for the side bar

echo $this->fetch('sidebar.block');

?>

or you could fetch the sidebar in the layout..

there is no magic "blocks" folder which stores all the blocks - thats what
elements are for.

In View? Element? Tried both and still nothing shows up.

In a Block folder?

Book does not say what sidebar is or where its saved?

Any insight?

Have you actually tried writing some code as explained in the book?

If yes then show us the code
