There’s any way of adding new page layouts using exclusively local.xml in design folder? If yes, how?!…

Thank you!

Even when this post helped me a lot to understand the process, I even refined it here: http://j.mp/k9nf3N. I explain the “why” for some things and also, the code is visible (I don’t know what happened on the code section on this post, but for me it’s very hard to read the light font color over light background).

Hi, thanks for your article, it’s very helpful.
Maybe this post is not the right place, but I have a question.
I want to put in cms page a few div ‘s with toggle button to show/hide the div (this works with javascript). When save the cms page and test it works, then i go back and let’s say just edit the div text and save again the cms page, and now when I test the page, it does not work anymore.
any sugestion???

Just wanted to give a shout out and say that your solutions worked perfectly in under two minutes.

Two copy pastes, create folder structure, upload, done.

Thanks.

I don’t usually post comments on blogs, but this article helped me out a lot, so thanks for your help.

Only thing I must add, I would change the colour of the code, as it is impossible to see in white text.

Great Article

Perhaps this example is outdated. I’m working on the current version of magento and nothing shows when I try this.

I had few problems with Magento Enterprise 1.8.0.0

The config.xml file had to have a config module included



    
        
            0.1.0
        
    

 
  
   
    
     Custom static page 1

Now I was trying to have it being disabled in the System Advance configurations and when I turn it off it does not work. Is there a way to have it disabled when picking a different website. I have multiple website on single install and i just want to enable the Module for the site that it was build for.

Hmm. it still didn’t format correctly. Check out magentocommerce.com/boards/viewreply/151194/ for the right stuff.

D’oh! put that wrapper on wrong. Sorry, here’s the right code:


     Custom static page 1
     page/custom-static-page-1.phtml
	 page_custom_static_page_one

Sorry ’bout that.

Hey, I just wanted to give you a quick heads up because there’s a slight bug with this method as you have it right now.

You need to add a line in config.xml for “layout_handle” (it holds the id used for layout caching). Otherwise, you’re likely to get an error that says,
“Invalid id or tag: must use only [a-zA-Z0-9_]”
if layout caching is turned on.

Here’s an example:
[/code]

Custom static page 1
page/custom-static-page-1.phtml
page_custom_static_page_one

[/code]

Ta, and thanks for the great resource, inchoo!
