将Magento“添加到购物车”按钮移动到新文件不起作用

Question

I want to move Add to cart button from view.phtml file to 2columns-right.phtml file and I am cant make it work. What I did is that I copied <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('addtocart') ?> from view.phtml file to 2columns-right.phtml and it does not appear at all. I did Flush Magento cache too but nothing again.

Any suggestions on how to make this work?

Answer 1

You should get familiar with magento layout system. To make possible <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('addtocart') ?> work in 2columns-right.phtml this block should be declared as child block of root block (the root is the block that is rendered with 2columns-right.phtml ). Actually, I don't see much sense in moving add to cart to other template, because addtocart.phtml itself is just a button that submits whole form that is located at catalog/product/view.phtml . If you take it out of there it won't work.

Answer 2

First of all i agree with nevermourn you can not get childhtml if you havn't declared it. But you can use

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('catalog/product_view')->setTemplate('catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml')->toHtml(); ?>

By using this in 2columns-right.phtml you will get addtocart.phtml for sure.

Answer 3

in order to call add to cart button by using

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('addtocart') ?>

on the page you desire in layout/local.xml

<yourModule_YourController_yourAction>
   <reference name="content">
      <block type="catalog/product_view" name="product.info.addtocart" as="addtocart" template="catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml"/>
   </reference>
</yourModule_YourController_yourAction>
