Magento - using $this->getPriceHtml on custom page template

Question

I have a scroller showing a collection of products currently on sale, which I call using the following:

$todayDate  = Mage::app()->getLocale()->date()->         


        

Answer 1

To get getPriceHtml() function work correctly in your custom block you need 2 things

1)Make your block type catalog/product

2)Pass the product object to getPriceHtml() function

load($_product->getId());?>
getPriceHtml($productObject, true) ?>
