How to get Object of custom block?

Question

I have created a Block class as this

class Sb_AddressManager_Block_Address_Edit extends Mage_Customer_Block_Address_Edit {....}

and its path is

/www/abc/app/code/local/Sb/AddressManager/Block/Address/Edit.php

now I need its obj to use its functions in an other class class Sb_Fs_Model_Order extends Mage_Sales_Model_Order {...}

whose path is

/www/abc/app/code/local/Sb/Fs/Model/Order.php

How should I do this?

Answer 1

You want to call the block function from model. Try the below code

Mage::getBlockSingleton('<your-block-alise>/address_edit')->yourFunction();

Note : Calling the block from model is not recommended.If you are going to use a same function in Block and Model. Place that function in Helper and call where ever you want
