Does anyone have a script to pull a table from an external database to load into a CMS block? I have a database separate from Magento (a client list) that needs to populate a CMS block.

Answer 1

Loading data from any database will require a custom module with custom block. To be able to add it to a CMS block, you will have to write a widget.

Answer 2

The correct way to do this would be to either create a custom module or widget.

But you could also include a custom template file and load the table data

{{block type="core/template" template="path/to/templatefile.phtml"}}
