Body
I created a custom module where i want to show some information about an product. In config.xml i added <pre><code><blocks> <mymodule> <class>Namespace_MyModule_Block</class> </mymodule> </blocks> </code></pre> The block class extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View. But i can't call <pre><code>$this->getProduct() </code></pre> in the *.phtml file according to the module (mymodule.phtml). The xmls are configured well, so i can call the .phtml with <pre><code><?php echo $this->getChildHtml('mymodule'); ?> </code></pre> but $product is always null. According to the configuration in modules config.xml $this->getProduct() should access Mynamespace_MyModule_Block_View and call the function. I tried with a dummy function which simply returns a string value, but this doesn't work either. I hope someone can give me a hint weather there is some missing or wrong configuration. EDIT 1: Content of layout.xml <pre><code><?xml version="1.0"?> <layout> <catalog_product_view> <reference name="product.info"> <block type="core/template" name="product_available_price" as="product_available_price" template="productavailable/price.phtml"/> <block type="core/template" name="product_available_info" as="product_available_info" template="productavailable/info.phtml"/> <block type="core/template" name="product_available_button" as="product_available_button" template="productavailable/button.phtml"/> </reference> </catalog_product_view> </layout> </code></pre> In button.phtml i call $this->getProduct() and the method is in Mynamespace_MyModule_Block_Button

Guidance

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.
