Body
I am following No_Frills_Magento_Layout by Alan Storm. I have got to a point that I could not make work by following what the book said so I went about it an alternate way Below is the books way and I get an error <pre><code>$layout = Mage::getSingleton(’core/layout’); $block = $layout->createBlock('ts_nofrills/helloworld', 'root'); echo $block->toHtml(); //Fatal error: Call to a member function createBlock() on a non-object in </code></pre> below is my way and produces the .phtml text <pre><code>$main_block = new Ts_Nofrills_Block_Helloworld(); $layout = Mage::getSingleton(’core/layout’); $block = $layout->createBlock($main_block, 'root'); echo $block->toHtml(); </code></pre> My problem is as the book continues this example is expanded on and by deviating from the example and doing it my way I dont feel like I am learning to the full potential. I guess I have written the first parameter incorrectly for magento to recognise it in the createBlock function what have i done wrong on example one? I have been reluctant to put this question on for two reasons: 1 - Im sure the answer is in the book (I cant find it though) 2 - Im sure this question has been asked on here (once again I have looked but cant find it) ===EDIT=== <pre><code><global> <blocks> <Ts_Nofrills> <class>Ts_Nofrills_Block</class> </Ts_Nofrills> </blocks> .... </global> </code></pre> file structure <ul> <li>Ts</li> <li><ul> <li>Nofrills</li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>Block</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>Template.php</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>controllers</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>IndexController.php</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>etc</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li><ul> <li>config.xml</li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> </ul>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
