How to Add Static Block to your theme – Magento

Create an Static Block from your CMS admin tab and show it in your theme.

In my case I wanted to call a Static Block from my theme to show up in the sidebar.

I edited my theme file called 2columns-left.phtml and then added the following code.

Please notice you need to replace the YourBlockId with your own Static Block Id.

<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('YourBlockId')->toHtml() ?>	
Code language: HTML, XML (xml)
