php - Magento - render phtml template file from layout update xml -
i'm putting first magento theme. wee.
this site have large number of static pages, , i'm trying determine best method of getting content system in maintainable way. ideally, process can managed team member limited experience in magento (this key point).
aside these 2 main methods of including static "page" content:
- 1 - save
page-content
cms static block, added category page - 2 - save
page-content
cms page
it seems should able render phtml template file (with page-content
real markup) combination of layout update xml directives (in cms page / category page), or widget type of include.
assuming file structure looks this:
/my_theme /default /varient /template /cms /template /category1 /category2 - page_content.phtml
i've tried planting file cms page via number of variations on:
<reference name="content"> <block type="core/template" name="content.current" as="content.current" output="tohtml" template="cms/template/category1/category2/page_content.phtml" </reference>
in layout update xml.
alternatively, i've tried render file via content directives like:
{{block type="core/template" name="content.current" template="cms/template/category1/category2/page_content.phtml"}}
with (obviously) no luck far.
granted - there maybe reasons not deal static content in way, may still viable alternative 2 steps mentioned (image , link pathing, example).
at rate - believe combination of update xml or content directives should workable, i'm still getting head around magento layout , haven't figured out correct method.
any advice or explanations grand.
cheers -

for future overflowers looking figure out:
{{block type='core/template' template='cms/template/category1/category2/page_content.phtml'}}
works sure. tried morning without name attribute , viola.
