I wanna have a constant sidebar or footer that i can edit in the grav admin backend. Cant find any similar example on the web.

At the moment i have a normal page folder structure: 

pages
 ├── 01.home
 ├── 02.contact
 └── 03.program

now i wanna include on each site the same footer or sidebar - which i can edit in the backend. My shitty solution for this is to implement a form in the template blueprint.yaml so that i add the footer and sidebar stuff in there.

But i think there is an better solution for this - which i cant find. I thought of such a partial or module which i can include in the template then.

Regards Karl

This is typically done via partials. Your theme should have a base file (in the partials directory) that contains a content block. This same file should also include other files such as your sidebar and footer.

Then, each template type should override the content block.

My Open Course Hub Grav skeleton does this exact thing, where a Markdown page is used to store a global footer and sidebar.

For example, here is where I check and display Footer content: https://github.com/hibbitts-design/grav-theme-course-hub-bootstrap/blob/master/templates/partials/base.html.twig#L74-L77

And here is an example Footer Markdown folder: https://github.com/hibbitts-design/grav-skeleton-course-hub/tree/master/pages/footer

You can also download the complete Course Hub skeleton at https://getgrav.org/downloads/skeletons
