Question

I am simply trying to rewrite a community extension block, with another, created in the same location.

I want to extend block:
Belvg_Stores_Block_Front

using:
Belvg_Stores_Block_StoreLocator

Class header code:

class Belvg_Stores_Block_StoreLocator extends Belvg_Stores_Block_Front

Config.xml code(i added the rewrite section):

<blocks>
    <stores>
    <class>Belvg_Stores_Block</class>
</stores>
<rewrite>
    <stores_front>
    Belvg_Stores_Block_StoreLocator
    </stores_front>
    </rewrite>
</blocks>

Many thanks.

you’re close. try this;

<blocks>
    <stores>
        <class>Belvg_Stores_Block</class>
        <rewrite>
            <front>Belvg_Stores_Block_StoreLocator</front>
        </rewrite>
    </stores>
</blocks>
