Static Block Menu Links NOT Displaying

[jordan_cardwell]

Hi,

I am trying to display links from a static block on my homepage.

I have added the following code to "home.phtml":

<?php $storeId = Mage::app()->getStore()->getStoreId();
    if($storeId == '14')
    {
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('home-center-contact')->toHtml();
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('top_menu_beacon')->toHtml();
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('footer_links_beacon')->toHtml();
    }
    if($storeId == '19')
    {
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('home-center-contact')->toHtml();
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('top_menu_cashino')->toHtml();
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('footer_links_cashino')->toHtml();
    }
    if($storeId == '16')
    {
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('home-center-contact')->toHtml();
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('top_menu_tanexpress')->toHtml();
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('footer_links_tanexpress')->toHtml();
    }
    if($storeId == '18')
    {
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('home-center-contact')->toHtml();
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('top_menu_merkur')->toHtml();
        echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('footer_links_merkur')->toHtml();
    }
?>

...and I have allowed 'cms/block' in System > Permissions > Blocks.

Why are these not displaying?

I would like the 'top_menu_STORE' blocks displayed in the navigation and 'footer_links_STORE' to the left of the existing links in the footer.

That would be better to show all that CMS blocks - not hardcode the storeviews. 

You can set the stores visibility directly in admin area for CMS blocks.

Instead of using hard code store ids I think you can follow this approach:

1. Create different static blocks as per store for these identifier i.e:

• a. home-center-contact
• b. top_menu_beacon
• c. footer_links_beacon

so in your case you have to create 4 static blocks of each identifier as you have 4 stores (14,19,16,18)

2. Then in your home.phtml just call below lines without if conditions

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('home-center-contact')->toHtml();

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('top_menu_merkur')->toHtml();

echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('footer_links_merkur')->toHtml();

or

in home CMS page call

{{block type="cms/block" block_id="home-center-contact"}}

{{block type="cms/block" block_id="top_menu_merkur"}}

{{block type="cms/block" block_id="footer_links_merkur"}}
