Trying to get and display a scrapbook item via a tool file

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I'm successfully matching a db field to a tool argument to get the bID and the block object for the matching block, but when I try to render it I'm getting

Fatal error: Call to a member function getCollectionID() on a non-object in /home/bhdev/public_html/concrete/libraries/block_view.php on line 218


Likely because I'm in a tool context without a page to render to. Is there a way to render the output without a page object without having to write a custom function within that block controller to duplicate the output of the view?

Answering my own question with the help of a colleague so that anyone who might run into this will have some direction.

$bv = Loader::library('concrete/block_view');
$bv = new BlockView();
$bv->render($block,'scrapbook');
