Question

i am working on a module e.g “Mymodule“, in which i need to filter the results. i.e. for Partners i created Partner.php and for Community i created Community.php in

Mymodule/Block/Partner.php 
Mymodule/Block/Community.php

Now i wanted to access their code in frontend through Mymodule.XML

<block type="mymodule/partner" ......................... />

but this doesn’t work on LIVE SERVER, although it does work on local Wamp server 🙁 … Any idea ?

Although when i access the default Mymodule.php code in the same and add the code i placed in partner and community file, it does work.

Is there something i am missing ?

Answer 1

I’m not strictly sure how your code would ever have worked. But assuming you haven’t built a module before, you’ll need a minimum of 3 files.

app/etc/modules/Sonassi_Module.xml
app/code/community/Sonassi/Module/etc/config.xml
app/code/community/Sonassi/Module/Block/Partner.php

In the first file … app/etc/modules/Sonassi_Module.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <Sonassi_Module>
      <active>true</active>
      <codePool>community</codePool>
    </Sonassi_Module>
  </modules>
</config>

In the second file … app/code/community/Sonassi/Module/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <Sonassi_Module>
      <version>0.1.0</version>
    </Sonassi_Module>
  </modules>
  <frontend>
    <routers>
      <module>
        <use>standard</use>
        <args>
          <module>Sonassi_Module</module>
          <frontName>module</frontName>
        </args>
      </module>
    </routers>
  </frontend>
  <global>
    <blocks>
      <module>
        <class>Sonassi_Module_Block</class>
      </module>
    </blocks>
  </global>
</config>

In the third file … app/code/community/Sonassi/Module/Block/Partner.php

class Sonassi_Module_Block_Partner extends Core_Block_Template
{

}

Then finally, you can then use

<block type="module/partner" ......................... />
