{
$this->loadLayout();
$this->_addContent($this->getLayout()->createBlock('adminhtml/template')->setTemplate('uhmaadmin/contactos.list.phtml')->toHtml());
$this->renderLayout();
}
an in the .phtml
echo 'hello world';
but doesn't print nothing, if a make an error in the phtml, the system crash, it means that its getting the file, but, what i'm i missing
please, help
The $this->_addContent
method on an admin controller expects to be passed a block object.
protected function _addContent(Mage_Core_Block_Abstract $block)
{
$this->getLayout()->getBlock('content')->append($block);
return $this;
}
You're passing in
$this->getLayout()->createBlock('adminhtml/template')->setTemplate('uhmaadmin/contactos.list.phtml')->toHtml()
which is a string. You're rendering it too soon. If you check your logs you should see a warning/error/something telling you that the argument to _addContent
is an unexpected type.
Try it without the toHtml method call
$this->_addContent($this->getLayout()->createBlock('adminhtml/template')->setTemplate('uhmaadmin/contactos.list.phtml'));
