Magento Store - Remove Block using Update XML

Question

I am using this code in my template file to display a static block in my left sidebar:

getLayout()->createBlock(\'cms/block\')->setBlo         


        

Answer 1

Include the block in your layout instead:

  
    
      leftSB1
    
  

And then $this->getChildHtml('leftSB1') in your sidebar, if you're not including children automatically.

(and then remove it from the particular page as in the previous answer)
