Now I would like to have a few different layouts where the header part is different but the footer is the same on all these layouts
[SIMPLE HEADER]
[child layout]
[FOOTER]
I would like to be able to create a layout which I can insert in other layouts, so in my situation above I could create a footer layout and then insert this in both layouts above, so if I need to change something in my footer, I only have to change one layout, instead of two layouts.
The only layout you can insert is a child layout, (the body section) but I would like to be able to insert a new type.
You can define content templates in views, which you can use in many places, I would like to create a single row layout in other layouts.
I do not think you understand what I am suggesting.
I would like to be able to define a layout which you can then insert in a row in other layouts.
You can insert content templates, but you can't insert other layouts.
YES you can create a header, child, footer layout, which you can use on your other layouts, but you can't create a single layout row in layouts and then use this in other layouts
I wan't to be able to have multiple header-footer layouts where the header is different, but the footer should always remain the same on these layouts. Because of that, It would be nice if I only had a single footer row layout, which I could then use in other layouts.
Any given layout can only include one child layout, so I cant use a child layout.
Basically what I would like is the option to create a layout and reuse that in a row on a different layout which also includes a child layout.
That way I can have multiple header-footer layouts where the header is different, but the footer remains the same, and if I have to change the footer, I only have to change a single layout.
I have tried to describe my request in this screencast: hidden link
You cant insert layouts that way. Actually the way you want to use exactly is not possible but you should try to create custom footer as row/cell and use it at any place.
Ok. I have reported your concern to our next level support as a feature request. Please be patient, I will get in touch with you as soon as I know more.
It is the footer that I would like to have defined one place,
Since I can only define the parent of a layout, and only one single parent, I would essential have to create x amounts of identical footers for each layout I create.
Since the footer is a static content on all pages, but the header may change. I need to maintain multiple copies.
It is not the biggest issue I know, but content template takes care of this in views and layouts. I basically would like a content layout template 🙂
So even though it may not bee on your radar for the moment, I would really love to see this option implemented.
