Magento block type

In magento blocks what does block type means as in the below block?

<block type="core/template" template="example/view.phtml" />

Please help me in learning magento module development.

Is there some good resource?

Solution

  • The block "type" is a PHP Class. In a normal system, a

    core/template

    block type will become a Mage_Core_Block_Template class.
