Working out with blocks and layouts in magento 2

Page layout declares the wireframe of a page inside the <body> section, for example one-column layout or two-column layout.
The allowed layout instructions are:

 <container>
 <referenceContainer>
 <move>
 <update>

If we want to include a additional template file in home page, we can do it by adding the following layout update at cms design layout update section at admin.

<referenceContainer name="footer">
    <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="nameofblock" template="Magento_Theme::template_name.phtml"/>
</referenceContainer>

Here we are including "template_name.phtml" at footer container section.
The phtml template file should be under the templates folder of the module of our theme. Here the template is inside the module "Magento_Theme" under our theme.



If we want to include the template from static blocks section at admin, add the following block at the static block content.

{{block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="nameofblock" template="Magento_Theme::template_name.phtml"}}

Changing the attribute type in Magento

Sometimes, we need to change the input type of attributes in Magento. Magento by default doesn't allow to change the input type from backend simply. We need to do this programmatically. Here is a code to change the input type from dropdown to text. $installer = new Mage_Eav_Model_Entity_Setup('core_setup'); $installer->startSetup(); $iProductEntityTypeId = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getResource()->getTypeId(); $idAttributeOldSelect = $installer->getAttributeId($iProductEntityTypeId, 'manufacturer'); $installer->updateAttribute($iProductEntityTypeId, $idAttributeOldSelect, array(     'frontend_input' => 'text' )); $installer->endSetup(); Finally, we need to remove the old values or they will conflict with the new setup. DELETE FROM catalog_product_entity_int WHERE entity_type_id = 4 and attribute_id = YOUR_ATTRIBUTE_ID_HERE; Cheers!!
