Creating cms block and calling in phtml - magento

Question

I just created a cms block from magento admin panel and now I want to get it into the phtml I tried this way:
<?php
$currentview = Mage::app()->getStore()->getCode();
if($currentview = 'default'){
echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('ostore_footerb1')->toHtml();
}
else if($currentview = 'it'){
echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('ostore_footerb1-it')->toHtml();
}
?>
I am getting cms block but if statement not working how can I make it working ?

Answer 1

If you have created CMS block named ostore_footerb1-it from admin panel.
Then following will be code to call them in .phtml
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('ostore_footerb1-it')->toHtml();
?>
Another way to do this is :
In the layout (app/design/frontend/your_theme/layout/default.xml):
<default>
<cms_page> <!-- need to be redefined for your needs -->
<reference name="content">
<block type="cms/block" name="cms_ostore_footerb1-it" as="cms_newest_product">
<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>ostore_footerb1-it</block_id></action>
</block>
</reference>
</cms_page>
</default>
In your phtml template:
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('ostore_footerb1-it'); ?>

Answer 2

To get static block in phtml file
echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('block_identifier')->toHtml();

Answer 3

Try this:
<?php echo $this->getLayout()->createBlock('cms/block')->setBlockId('ostore_footerb1-it')->toHtml(); ?>
Or this:
add this piece to the layout:
<default>
<cms_page> <!-- need to be redefined for your needs -->
<reference name="content">
<block type="cms/block" name="ostore_footerb1-it" as="ostore_footerb1-it">
<action method="setBlockId"><block_id>ostore_footerb1-it</block_id></action>
</block>
</reference>
</cms_page>
</default>
and call in phtml
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('ostore_footerb1-it'); ?>
