How to call module block after header?

Question

I have a module layout file below

<default>
 <block name="ampromo_notification" type="ampromo/notification" template="amasty/ampromo/notification.phtml" before="-" />
 <reference name="content">
 <action ifconfig="ampromo/messages/display_notification" method="append"><block>ampromo_notification</block></action>
 </reference>
</default>

This file shows the content of the template file at top of the content area at the frontend.

I want to show this file content just after the header block ends.

So how can I move this block to the after header?

I have tried this as well in 2columns-left.phtml, but didn't work

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('ampromo_notification'); ?> 

Currently, the layout files and template files exist in the base>default folder, while I am using the theme folder. So can it be a problem?

Answer 1

Replace

<block name="ampromo_notification" type="ampromo/notification" template="amasty/ampromo/notification.phtml" before="-" />

with this

<block name="ampromo_notification" type="ampromo/notification" template="amasty/ampromo/notification.phtml" after="header" />

Answer 2

<reference name="header">
 <reference name="top.container">
 <block name="ampromo_notification" type="ampromo/notification" template="amasty/ampromo/notification.phtml" after="-" />
 </reference>
</reference>

Remove <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('ampromo_notification'); ?>

• Shashank Kumrawat: using above code, it shows content in header block at the top of page, but I want to show it just after the header ends and just before the content starts.
• PЯINCƎ: Are you sure ? did you clean a cache ?
• Shashank Kumrawat: Yes.. content is showing at the top of the page now.
• PЯINCƎ: did you removed <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('ampromo_notification'); ?> in phtml ?
• Shashank Kumrawat: yes, ofcourse..I did

Answer 3

This is for after header, inside content, before all other blocks.

<reference name="content">
 <reference name="top.container">
 <block name="ampromo_notification" type="ampromo/notification" template="amasty/ampromo/notification.phtml" before="-" />
 </reference>
</reference>

Or within global_messages (before content)

<reference name="global_messages">
 <reference name="top.container">
 <block name="ampromo_notification" type="ampromo/notification" template="amasty/ampromo/notification.phtml" before="-" />
 </reference>
</reference>

As a last resort you can do stuff like this in template html

echo $this->getLayout()
     ->createBlock('Chapagain\HelloWorld\Block\HelloWorld')
     ->setTemplate('Chapagain_HelloWorld::helloworld.phtml')
     ->toHtml();

And remove the other XML reference. Whilst I appreciate this isn't the best approach we all have deadlines.
