I’m new to Magento, and still getting my head around what we can and can’t do.
I want to call a static block from within the JM Tabs module (in the JM Easyshop template).
This is the rough code I want to use on the home CMS page under design:
————————-
<block type="joomlart_jmtabs/core" name="jmtabs">
<action method="addTabs_block">
<title>Welcome</title>
<block></block>
<template></template>
<alias>tab1-welcome</alias>
</action>
<action method="addTabs_block">
<title>Most Reviewed</title>
<block>joomlart_jmcategorylist/list</block>
<template>joomlart/jmcategorylist/list.phtml</template>
<alias>tab2-jmcategorylist</alias>
</action>
<action method="addTabs_block">
<title>Brands</title>
<alias>tab3-brands</alias>
</action>
</block>
————————-
With this code the first and third tabs are still to be defined.
For the first tab I want to call a static block (which contains an image).
I figured I could use something like the below to achieve this, but it does not worki:
<block type="cms/block" name="cms_address_block" before="contactForm">
<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>voscpd</block_id></action>
</block>
Am I going about this the wrong way, is this not possible, or is there a better way?
Thanks in advance
Will

Dear
Please use this code:
<action method="addTabs_staticblock">
<title>YOUR TITLE</title>
<identifier>your_block_identifier</identifier>
</action>
To call your statick block in to JM tabs.
Hope this helps and good luck!

Kind regards

Dear Petersturm!
If you use JM tab, you should call it in jmtabs.xml in app\design\frontend\default\your_theme\layout with this structure:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
<default>
<reference name="head">
<action method="addCss"><stylesheet>joomlart/jmtabs/css/jm.tabs.css</stylesheet></action>
</reference>
<reference name="content">
<block type="joomlart_jmtabs/core" name="jmtabs">
<!--<action method="set">
<show>1</show>
<title>JM Tabssss</title>
<style>pyrite</style>
<height>auto</height>
<width>100</width>
<position>top</position>
<animation>fadeIn</animation>
<event>click</event>
<duration>1000</duration>
<skipanim>false</skipanim>
</action>-->
<action method="addTabs_staticblock">
<title>Tab 1</title>
<identifier>footer_links</identifier>
</action>
<action method="addTabs_staticblock">
<title>header_links</title>
<identifier>header_links</identifier>
</action>
<action method="addTabs_staticblock">
<title>electronics-landing</title>
<identifier>electronics-landing</identifier>
</action>
<action method="addTabs_staticblock">
<title>cellphones-landing</title>
<identifier>cellphones-landing</identifier>
</action>
<!--<action method="addTabs_block">
<title>jmproducts</title>
<block>joomlart_jmproducts/list</block>
<template>joomlart/jmproducts/list.phtml</template>
<alias>tab1-jmproducts</alias>
</action>
<action method="addTabs_block">
<title>jmproductsspotlight</title>
<block>joomlart_jmproductsspotlight/list</block>
<template>joomlart/jmproductsspotlight/list.phtml</template>
<alias>tab1-jmproductsspotlight</alias>
</action>
<action method="addTabs_block">
<title>jmcategorylist</title>
<block>joomlart_jmcategorylist/list</block>
<template>joomlart/jmcategorylist/list.phtml</template>
<alias>tab1-jmcategorylist</alias>
</action>-->
</block>
</reference>
</default>
</layout>
You could also use in layout update xml of any static page with this structure:
Code:
<block type="joomlart_jmtabs/core" name="jmtabs"> <!--<action method="set"> <show>1</show> <title>JM Tabssss</title> <style>pyrite</style> <height>auto</height> <width>100</width> <position>top</position> <animation>fadeIn</animation> <event>click</event> <duration>1000</duration> <skipanim>false</skipanim> </action>--> <action method="addTabs_staticblock"> <title>Tab 1</title> <identifier>footer_links</identifier> </action> </block>
Hoep this helps and good luck!
Hello thangnn1510,
yes, this is very helpful.
Slowly but surely I understand the structure of Magento.
But it`s truly not easy for an absolutely amateur like me.
Be well
Peter
