Newsletter and positions 6 – 8 on JM Deco

Hi Linda,
-- You can create a static block for Newsletter Subscription named ‘position-9’ -- the same like position-8 and add this in content tag:

Code:

{{block type="newsletter/subscribe" name="left.newsletter" template="newsletter/subscribe.phtml"  }}

Then update in:

Code:

Backend> CMS > Pages > Your_HomePage > Design > Layout Update XML

with this:

Code:

<block type="cms/block" name="position-9">
        <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-9</block_id></action>
 </block>

underneath position-8

You also need to style for these static blocks: width, height, whatever you wanna they should be.

-- In order to make these static blocks appear in all pages, you should open up file:

Code:

\app\design\frontend\default\jm_deco\layout\catalog.xml

and insert this reference (I insert before reference named: footer_links) to display these static blocks:

Code:

<!-- Bottom Spotlight - botsl -->
<reference name="botsl">
	<block type="cms/block" name="position-6">
		<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-6</block_id></action>
	</block>
	<block type="cms/block" name="position-7">
		<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-7</block_id></action>
	</block>
	<block type="cms/block" name="position-8">
		<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-8</block_id></action>
	</block>
        <block type="cms/block" name="position-9">
		<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>position-9</block_id></action>
	</block>
</reference>

However, in this case, you must remove code that display static blocks in homepage in:

Code:

 Backend> CMS > Pages > Your_HomePage > Design > Layout Update XML

cos if you keep both, these blocks will appear twice in home page.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Regards.
