How to call Magento block in phtml template?

Question

i need to display some more links in footer. i created those links in magento admin as static blocks (id = sample_links ).

and then i added following code page.xml file<

Answer 1

The reference is the block previously defined that you want your block to be inside, e.g.:

  
    sample_links
  

Then

getChildHtml('sample_links') ?>
