Hi there – wondering if you can help with how I would add a cms block to the right area of the account registration page of Magento?

Thank you

My footer links are working fine. But I am trying to add a static block for some pages which would be footer text that appears under the footer links.

So I created a static block and on the page where i wanted it to appear, I added this as the custom xml layout update. This way I got the block to appear only on the pages that I wanted it to appear on.

toy-story-page-footer-block

All this was done via the admin, no change in codes.

But all of a sudden, none of the footer blocks seem to appear, I haven’t changed any settings. I use filezilla for ftp and I may have accidentally moved some folders, I am trying to figure out if I did or not.

Have been trying to fix this for the past month and have read every form possible.

Any help will be really appreciated.

That would require code modification to work. A database call looking in the Static Blocks for a matching name would do the trick
You could also look for an extension that would accomplish the same thing.
