Custom Block to Product Page with selection attribute is not showing

magento.stackexchange https://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/331494

Question

I am trying to create an option where I can select yes or no in the backend, and when it's set to yes, it adds a block with an image in the product page. Here's what I have so far:

  1. I created a Yes/No Attribute called "samsung_5_vjet_garanci" and made sure its Visible on Catalog Pages on Storefront. Added it on a sample product, and set it to YES
  2. Created a CMS Block with just the "<div class="samsung"><img src="{{media url="wysiwyg/image.png"}}" alt="" /></div>" with identifier "samsung-garanci"
  3. Created a .phtml file and uploaded it /app/design/frontend/vendor/themename/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/samsung.phtml
<?php $_product = Mage::getSingleton('catalog/product')
            ->load($_product->getId());

if ($_product->getAttributeText('samsung_5_vjet_garanci') == "Yes"): ?>

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('samsung-garanci')->toHtml(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>

  1. Added a block in catalog_product_view.xml

    <referenceContainer name="product.info.main">
    <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View" name="samsung" as="samsung" after="-" template="Magento_Catalog::product/view/samsung.phtml" />
</referenceContainer>

But it's not working, what am I doing wrong, it's been 3 days figuring this out, and still nothing. Thank you very much if you help me

Solution

It's mentioned that you use Magento 1.9.x ( as per the tags added), but I can see that you have magento2 style of code and magento2 directory structure in your layout XML (catalog_product_view.xml). In short there is a mixup of code. Check and Confirm your Magento version at first and then add the respective style of code

In Magento 1,

Create and register a custom theme

The layout and template paths should be

app/design/frontend/vendor/theme/layout/catalog.xml better create a local.xml for layout overrides

app/design/frontend/vendor/theme/catalog/product/view/samsung.phtml

and in your layout XML it should be

<catalog_product_view>
    <reference name="product.info">
    <block type="catalog/product_view" name="samsung_brand" as="samsung.brand" template="catalog/product/view/samsung.phtml"/>
</reference>
</catalog_product_view>

So confirm your Magento version, learn the theme creation, directory structure and layout directives to be used according to the version of Magento.

In case of Magento2, it should be

app/design/frontend/Vendor/theme/Magento_Catalog/layout/catalog_product_view.xml

 <?xml version="1.0"?>

            <referenceContainer name="content">
                <referenceBlock name="product.info.main">
                    <block class="Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\View" name="samsung" as="samsung" after="-" template="Magento_Catalog::product/view/samsung.phtml" />
                </referenceBlock>
            </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

app/design/frontend/Vendor/theme/Magento_Catalog/templates/product/view/samsung.phtml

<?php /** @var $block \Magento\Catalog\Block\Product\AbstractProduct */ ?>

<?php 

$_product = $block->getProduct();

// just to print your attribute value for your confirmation, you can comment or remove the print statement below if you want

echo '<br/>Sku : ' . $_product->getSku() .' | samsung_5_vjet_garanci: '. $_product->getData('samsung_5_vjet_garanci') .' | samsung_5_vjet_garanci: '.$_product->getSamsung5VjetGaranci();

if ($_product->getData('samsung_5_vjet_garanci')) {
    echo $block->getLayout()->createBlock(\Magento\Cms\Block\Block::class)->setBlockId('samsung-garanci')->toHtml();
}

?>

OTHER TIPS

First of all you don't need to get getAttributeText('.....) if you are using a yes/no attribute. It's better to use

<?php $_product = $this->getProduct(); // you don't need to load product its already present.

if ($_product->getAttribute('samsung_5_vjet_garanci')): ?>

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('samsung-garanci')->toHtml(); ?>

<?php endif; ?>
