I use Free CMS module that is very useful. You can see the demo here: http://demo.hello-magento.com/freecms/furniture.html

what page?
where in the page?

Tiny post, GREAT solution!! Thank you Richard!

Is there a reason I shouldn't just use this method?

{{block type="cms/block" block_id="my_block" template="cms/content.phtml"}}

This was really helpful! Thanks for posting it. (You probably already know how hard it is to find concise Magento solutions like this!)

This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! Great solution. Thank You Richard!

Hi Richard thanks very much for this. It is a clear and straight to the point instruction (unlike many other magento guides out there)

Could you please tell me what I would need to do to add something just above the footer of all pages (I would like to have a paypal verified image)

I am new to magento and still learning coding, it is quite confusing.

Thanks again

Hi Richard,
does this work if it's not a static cms page would it work on a product category page and how do you access it?

Thanks, Kelli

Dear sir,

I've been working on M for about a week and am still trying to piece together how everything works. Thank you so much for your assistance and sharing.

Hi Richard, great post!! got a bit of a headache tho

how can you make CMS block appear above a category page layout?

For example: if you have 2columns-left set as your category page layout how can i make a CMS block appear above this layout? and also be able to add a different block to each category page via the admin panel?

here is my problem http://gogglefirm.com/snow.html

as you can see i have the static block in the page but i want it to clear the left col and main col.

any ideas

Cheers
Craig

Hi. Can I have one question? There are possibility to use static block in product description? When I put

{{block type="cms/block" block_id="dima_test" template="cms/content.phtml"}}

to them I see only this text, no block content

I found solution it is necessary only add this two lines in the proper place into app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Helper/Output.php to method productAttribute()

$processor = Mage::getModel('core/email_template_filter');

$attributeHtml = $processor->filter($attributeHtml);

Good solution.
it is very helpful for us
thanks for the help richard.

Hi, I have searched for solutions everywhere, but it was too hard or time consuming. And i found this magento extension to show categories where you want as block.

Here is a link: http://www.storefrontconsulting.com/software/featured-categories-magento...

Thanks for this Richard! Saved my time!

Hi richard, thanks for the help and it is a good solutions.

i have static footer blocks with relevant SEO text for certain pages. It was working fine and all of a sudden all the static footer blocks disappeared. I cant seem to get it back. This is the code U used:

<reference name="footer">

<block type="cms/block" name="home_page_footer_seo_block" after="home_page_footer_block">

<action method="setBlockId">

<block_id>home_page_footer_seo_block</block_id>

</action>

</block>

</reference>

I added this code in the layout update XML section in the design tab of the homepage.

Any help is appreciated
