Using content across templates (eg. headers/menu, footer)

Hi,

I would like to create "sub-templates" for the content that will be re-used
across the home page and other pages such as the headers/menu and footer.
This content is not meant for authoring.

I tried using the <cms:includeTemplate /> as mentioned in the Wiki
(http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/WIKI/Reusing+content+on+different+pages).
That didn't work for me for some reason nor the subTemplates property.

How do I go about defining these "sub-templates" in the "templates
definition" section (AdminCentral configuration module) i.e. the content
nodes so that I can re-use them across all my pages? I believe that's my
issue.

Could I get please get some help on this? Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
Rita

Hi Rita,
Just use Freemarker include (or JSP include).
Example:

/templates/main.ftl wants to include /templates/global/header.ftl

In main.ftl place:

[#include "global/header.ftl" /]

You can find a lot of example on STK.

HTH,
Matteo
