    <p>I need to append the <code>before</code> attribute to a block via a layout update reference call.</p> <p>This is my <code>local.xml</code> file:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt; &lt;layout version="0.1.0"&gt; &lt;default&gt; &lt;reference name="content"&gt; &lt;block type="page/html_wrapper" name="content.footer" as="contentFooter" translate="label" after="-"&gt; &lt;label&gt;Content Footer&lt;/label&gt; &lt;action method="setElementId"&gt;&lt;value&gt;content-footer&lt;/value&gt;&lt;/action&gt; &lt;action method="setElementClass"&gt;&lt;value&gt;clear&lt;/value&gt;&lt;/action&gt; &lt;/block&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; &lt;/default&gt; &lt;catalog_category_default&gt; &lt;reference name="breadcrumbs.container"&gt; &lt;action method="unsetChild"&gt;&lt;name&gt;category.title&lt;/name&gt;&lt;/action&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; &lt;reference name="content"&gt; &lt;block type="catalog/category_view" name="category.title" template="catalog/category/title.phtml" before="content.footer"/&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; &lt;/catalog_category_default&gt; &lt;/layout&gt; </code></pre> <p>My problem is, on the <code>content</code> block I create a <code>content.footer</code> block that you can assign widgets to in admin. I use <code>after="-"</code> on the <code>content.footer</code> block so in my mind, should put it ALWAYS at the bottom of the content block but this is not the case.</p> <p>When you view a catalog category and it inserts the <code>category.products</code> block in to the <code>content</code> block, it displays underneath the <code>content.footer</code> block. The only way to make it work is if I redefine it in my <code>local.xml</code> and include all the child blocks in <code>category.products</code>, and set before <code>before="content.footer"</code>.</p> <p>So I thought why can't I use a reference to <code>category.products</code> in the <code>catalog_category_default</code> layout and set the block's <code>before</code> attribute, I tried the following:</p> <pre><code>&lt;reference name="category.products"&gt; &lt;action method="setBefore"&gt;&lt;value&gt;content.footer&lt;/value&gt;&lt;/action&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; </code></pre> <p>Which had no affect.</p> <p>I also noticed the <code>setAttribute()</code> function in <code>Mage_Core_Block_Abstract</code> which saw it's just a wrapper for <code>setData()</code> but thought I would try it anyway, still nothing:</p> <pre><code>&lt;reference name="category.products"&gt; &lt;action method="setAttribute"&gt;&lt;key&gt;before&lt;/key&gt;&lt;value&gt;content.footer&lt;/value&gt;&lt;/action&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; </code></pre> <p>Is it possible to do what I want? Does before/after only apply to blocks in the same reference?</p>

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.
