Can I include one template e.g. menu multiple times in another template e.g. base layout?

[Eric Nguyen personal]

Reason for doing this is that I need to implement offcanvas navigation menu.

Following implement like this one, I need to duplicate the menu in 2 places on the same page.

(Please do not mention Jasny Bootstrap as it's broken, I've tried it a few times)

in my base-layout.ftl, I have the following in 2 different places, but only the first one got displayed:

<@hst.include ref="menu"/>

Hi Eric,

can you attach a screenshot of the relevant page configuration in the Hippo console? 

I would expect that you should be able to do this.

cheers

Tobi

It is going to be supported in 7.10 by this improvement:
- https://issues.onehippo.com/browse/HSTTWO-2183

So, you can store <hst:include /> output to a variable and use it
multiple times.

Hi Tobi,

I didn't touch the console at all.

This is purely done in .ftl file.

Anw, I managed to find a better offcanvas navigation menu solution that doesn't require duplicates of the menu

[Tobias Jeger]

ok. I believe that (at least with currently available versions) you'd have to have symmetry between your hst.include tags and your page's hst:component configuration structure. If your template has two hst.include tags, your component configuration should have two child components, using different names. But that's just my expectation, I haven't tried it myself yet.

cheers

Tobi
