The Block class should extend mage_core_block_template, not mage_core_block_abstract

Thanks a lot for this great tutorial. I had quite some trouble getting the custom params. After a while I came up with the following solution:

public function getAttribute()
{
return $this->_getData(’my_param1′);
}

protected function _toHtml()
{
…
$var = $this->getAttribute();
…
}

One very important thing is to add the block into the cms content area and not to the layout updates!

Forget that, I found it. Was having a few problems due to some cut’n paste with wrong quotation marks.

If someone else like me, it’s simply in :
/app/design/frontend/your_interface/default/template/your_folder/your_file.phtml

Where do we put the phtml file in Tom’s solution ? It’s interesting!
