Move block to a different reference block

Question

I need to move a subscription block from MageMonkey module.

Here is the magemonkey.xml file and block that I want to move:

<checkout_onepage_review>
 <reference name="checkout.onepage.review.info.items.after">
 <block type="monkey/checkout_subscribe" name="magemonkey.subscribe"
 template="magemonkey/checkout/subscribe.phtml">
 <block type="monkey/signup" name="left.monkeysignup" template="magemonkey/lists.phtml"/>
 </block>
 </reference>
</checkout_onepage_review>

Here is my checkout.xml file with the review block:

<checkout_onepage_review translate="label">
 <label>One Page Checkout Overview</label>
 <!-- Mage_Checkout -->
 <remove name="right"/>
 <remove name="left"/>
 <block type="checkout/onepage_review_info" name="root" output="toHtml" template="checkout/onepage/review/info.phtml">
 <action method="addItemRender"><type>default</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer</block><template>checkout/onepage/review/item.phtml</template></action>
 <action method="addItemRender"><type>grouped</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_grouped</block><template>checkout/onepage/review/item.phtml</template></action>
 <action method="addItemRender"><type>configurable</type><block>checkout/cart_item_renderer_configurable</block><template>checkout/onepage/review/item.phtml</template></action>
 <block type="checkout/cart_totals" name="checkout.onepage.review.info.totals" as="totals" template="checkout/onepage/review/totals.phtml"/>
 <block type="core/text_list" name="checkout.onepage.review.info.items.before" as="items_before" translate="label">
 <label>Items Before</label>
 </block>
 <block type="core/text_list" name="checkout.onepage.review.info.items.after" as="items_after" translate="label">
 <label>Items After</label>
 </block>
 <block type="checkout/agreements" name="checkout.onepage.agreements" as="agreements" template="checkout/onepage/agreements.phtml" />
 <block type="core/template" name="checkout.onepage.review.button" as="button" template="checkout/onepage/review/button.phtml"/>
 </block>
</checkout_onepage_review>

I want to move the magemonkey.subscribe to go below the checkout.onepage.agreements. I tried that but didn't work:

 <checkout_onepage_review>
 <reference name="checkout.onepage.agreements">
 <block type="monkey/checkout_subscribe" name="magemonkey.subscribe"
 template="magemonkey/checkout/subscribe.phtml" output="toHtml">
 <block type="monkey/signup" name="left.monkeysignup" template="magemonkey/lists.phtml"/>
 </block>
 </reference>
 </checkout_onepage_review>

I can move it to the checkout.onepage.review.info.items.before and it work fine so I am guessing this has something to do with the type of the block I am trying to move it to. I added output="toHtml" but that didn't work either. Any one knows what I am doing wrong?

I also tried:

<!-- Checkout -->
 <checkout_onepage_review>
 <reference name="root">
 <block type="monkey/checkout_subscribe" name="magemonkey.subscribe"
 template="magemonkey/checkout/subscribe.phtml" output="toHtml" before="checkout.onepage.review.button">
 <block type="monkey/signup" name="left.monkeysignup" template="magemonkey/lists.phtml" />
 </block>
 </reference>
 </checkout_onepage_review>
<!-- Checkout -->

But still no luck.

Am I even looking in the right place? This is driving me insane now...

Hands down people. I got it...

In magemonkey.xml file, I only had to change the reference name. So my code looks like this now:

<!-- Checkout -->
 <checkout_onepage_review>
 <reference name="checkout.onepage.agreements">
 <block type="monkey/checkout_subscribe" name="magemonkey.subscribe"
 template="magemonkey/checkout/subscribe.phtml">
 <block type="monkey/signup" name="left.monkeysignup" template="magemonkey/lists.phtml" />
 </block>
 </reference>
 </checkout_onepage_review>
 <!-- Checkout -->

Now, in the template file of the block I want it to move to (In this case, agreements.phtml), I had to call the block. So added this one line to the file:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('magemonkey.subscribe') ?>

That solved my problem! I hope it will help someone.
