Magento. How to add static block to individual products pages

  1. Log into the Magento Admin panel and navigate to CMS -> Static Blocks section.

    magento_add-cms-static-block-on-specific-product-detail-page-1

  5. Save the block when you are done.

  6. Hover over your newly created block to find out the Block ID. Remember the Block ID value as we will need it later:

    magento_add-cms-static-block-on-specific-product-detail-page-2

  7. Go to Catalog -> Manage Products and select your product to edit.

  8. Go to the Design tab.

    <reference name="product.info"><block type="cms/block" name="product_info" ><action method="setBlockId"><block_id>22</block_id></action></block></reference>

    Where name=”product_info” is your Identifier and block_id 22 is your Block ID value:

    magento_add-cms-static-block-on-specific-product-detail-page-3

  10. Save this product.

  11. Connect to your server using any FileManager, such as FileZilla.

  12. Open app\design\frontend\tm_themes\themeXXX\template\catalog\product\view.phtml file.

  13. Add the following code into the place where you wish to display the Static Block:

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

    Note: change ‘product_info’ to your own Identifier:

    magento_add-cms-static-block-on-specific-product-detail-page-4

  14. Save this file.

  15. Go to your site and reload the page to see the changes:
