Is there a way in jinja to display a block in a specific page?-CodePudding

I have a layout.html page with a <footer> that I want to display in almost all pages using {% extends "layout.html %}. Only in the user profile page the footer will be different. How can I do that?

CodePudding user response：

You can implement a footer block in the layout page and override it accordinly:

...
    <div class="container">
        {% block app_content %}{% endblock %}
        {# display footer on all pages #}
        {% block footer %}{% endblock %}
    </div>
...

{# profile.html #}
{% extends "layout.html" %}
{# the footer will automatically be placed inside container and #}
{# you can override app_content #}
{% block app_content %}...{% endblock %}
{% block footer %}{% include "profile_footer.html" %}{% endblock %}

{# footer.html #}
<footer>my footer</footer>

{# profile_footer.html #}
<footer>profile footer</footer>

For any page that you do not want a footer just leave out the block
