Call a phtml template in a static block

Question

I want to call the "view.phtml" template in the tab "SPECIFICATION" (located in a static block), so that I can show a table of the grouped products.

Within that tab in the block content, I add following commands:

{{block type="catalog/product" template="catalog/product/view.phtml"}}

But nothing happens. I know the view.php located in catalog/product folder. Is there anything wrong with this command?

FYI, in the "view.phtml", there is only one setence:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('product_type_data') ?>

And below is my "grouped.phtml", which is nothing but a table:

<?php $this->setPreconfiguredValue(); ?>
<?php $_product = $this->getProduct(); ?>
<?php $_associatedProducts = $this->getAssociatedProducts(); ?>
<?php $_hasAssociatedProducts = count($_associatedProducts) > 0; ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('product_type_data_extra') ?>
<div class="grouped-items-table-wrapper" style="border:0px;">
    <table class="data-table grouped-items-table" id="super-product-table" style="width:75%;margin-left:10px;">
        <tbody>
        <tr style="background-color:#091f36;color:white;">

{{block type="catalog/product_view" template="catalog/product/view.phtml"}}

As you mention you have defined inside catalog->product->view->view.php

In your block type you have defined "catalog/product_view" so your view.php file should be inside catalog->product->view.php

Call a phtml template in a static block
