title: Magento - Add phtml file to layout block
body: <p>I am trying to add some code that will display text directly below the product's price on the product page - further, Im trying to do this the 'Magento' way by not just copying the code into view.phtml, but by creating at block, and then referencing that block in a layout file.</p>
  
  <p>For better or worse, I am trying to follow <a href="http://inchoo.net/ecommerce/magento/custom-reference-structural-block/" rel="nofollow">this tutorial</a>.</p>
  
  <p>So far I have created the phtml file that contains what I want to display (sharethis.phtml)
  Created a reference in page xml:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;block type="core/text_list" name="sharethis" as="sharethis"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>just after this block</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;block type="core/text_list" name="left" as="left" translate="label"&gt;
  &lt;label&gt;Left Column&lt;/label&gt;
  &lt;/block&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Referenced that reference in catalog.xml, just after the first default tag:</p>
  
  <pre><code>    &lt;reference name="sharethis"&gt;
          &lt;block type="catalog/product_new" name="sharethis" template="catalog/product/view/sharethis.phtml"/&gt;
      &lt;/reference&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And finally called that block from the view.phtml file like so </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?php echo $this-&gt;getChildHtml('sharethis') ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But its not showing up.  Any suggestions?</p>
