Question

$id = 'unique_id_block';
    $cmsBlockModel = Mage::getResourceModel('cms/block');
    $block = Mage::getModel('cms/block');

    $cmsBlockModel->load($block, $id);

I have the code above to return an a block object with the id called unique_id_block .

How is this possible to this to return an array of blocks because I may have more than 1 block with the same ID but with different store views.

Answer 1

You can get all blocks with the same identifier using a collection…

$id = 'unique_id_block';
$blockCollection = Mage::getModel('cms/block')->getCollection()
    ->addFieldToFilter('identifier', $id);

You can then iterate over this collection as you would do an array:

foreach ($blockCollection as $block) {
  //...
}

Since your question asks to have these as an array though, you can also convert the collection to an array and grab its items as in the following:

$id = 'unique_id_block';
$blockCollection = Mage::getModel('cms/block')->getCollection()
    ->addFieldToFilter('identifier', $id)
    ->toArray();

$blocks = $blockCollection['items'];

But unless there is a good reason for this, i would stick with the first example.
