Display Static Block in Magento PHTML File

Question

I'm using the following code in my 2columns-right.phtml file to call a stack block made in the Mangento admin panel onto a product page:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('right') ?> <?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('recipes')->toHTML(); ?>

I also have this code in my catalog.xml:

<reference name="right">
<block type="cms/block" name="recipes">
<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>recipes</block_id></action>
</block>
</reference>

Nothing is rendering on to the page. I've echoed some dummy text and that's rendered in the right spot so I know have the right .phtml file, but I am getting no sign of the block.

Answer 1

create local.xml under app/design/frontend/your package/your template/layout/

and out the below code

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <default>
        <reference name="right">
            <block type="cms/block" name="recipes" before="cart_sidebar"  output="toHtml">
                <!--
                    The content of this block is taken from the database by its block_id.
                    You can manage it in admin CMS -> Static Blocks
                -->
                <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>recipes</block_id></action>
            </block>
        </reference>
    </default>

also check cms block is exiting or not in admin and also check store select or not .If multi store exit
