Using perch:content in multiple places

I cant untill tonight, so for now ill elaborate encase you can see what I mean.

I have a html template called 'social_media_icons.html' in the template folder, this template is then being called in the footer, so the icons end up in the footer. Which is fine, perfect.

I have another template called seo.html where I want to display some of the same information that is in the 'social_media_icons.html' template into the 'seo' template. So I don't have to write out the same information twice in the admin.

The <perch:content id="facebooklink" /> is in the 'social_media_icons.html' template, and I want the same info it spits out, in the 'seo.html' template, but it just comes up blank.

Hopefully this is a little better to understand? I will still post the templates later on if needs be.

Thank you

Just passed by; Kieran, you may be looking for template includes https://docs.grabaperch.com/docs/templates/includes/

Thanks for replying, it's not the whole template I want to include, its just a few of the <perch:content /> tags.

Also, apart from the namespacing issue, you can make a template called facebooklink.html and include that in the social media template as well as in another place. So just "modularize" more.

Template partials? importing a partial section from a template?

Is that what I need to do or do I just need to add the re-scope and it will work?

I cant be making template.html files for every line of information id have hundreds.

The facebook link is already being outputted at the bottom of the page so I should be able to output the same information somewhere else just using code.

my goal is to reuse content that is inside a template.

it's just a <perch:content /> tag that I want to use in different templates.

Sorry for the confusion from my part :-) Cheers

Yeah that's what i'm doing as of the top part of your response.

As for the bottom part, you are saying just create another template even if it's just for one line of information? (in this case a facebook url).

How would I then display it in a line of code such as:

<meta property="article:publisher" content="FACEBOOKLINK" />

inside 'seo.html' template?

The thing is I already have this link set in another template, I then need it to show in another template (as the above post) aswell.

Ok so that's confused me a little.

Where would i put the code for this so that I could use it accross all templates?

and where would the input fields in the admin turn up?

Ill try this out and if to no avail will post my exact codes up. Cheers

Ok, what I need is the google content from 'social_media.html'

/templates/content/social_media.html

<li>
<!-- facebook -->
<a href="<perch:content id="facebook" type="text" label="Facebook" title="true" />" class="facebook" title="Facebook" rel="me">
</a>
<!-- twitter -->
<a href="<perch:content id="twitter" type="text" label="Twitter" title="true" />" class="twitter" title="Twitter" rel="me">
</a>
<!-- YouTube -->
<a href="<perch:content id="youtube" type="text" label="YouTube" title="true" />" class="youtube" title="YouTube" rel="me">
</a>
<!-- Tumblr -->

</li>

To appear inside the google link in 'facebook.html'

templates/pages/attributes/facebook.html

<!-- Facebook Open Graph -->
<meta property="og:site_name" content="<perch:pages id="sitename" type="hidden" />" />
<meta property="og:url" content="<perch:pages id="url" type="hidden" />" />
<meta property="og:title" content="<perch:pages id="og_title" label="Social title" type="text" escape="true" help="Title for this document with no branding or site name" divider-before="Open Graph Tags" />" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<perch:pages id="description" label="Social description" type="textarea" size="s" escape="true" />" />
<perch:if exists="og_image"><meta property="og:image" content="<perch:pages id="domain" type="hidden" /><perch:pages id="og_image" label="Image when shared" help="Should be at least 1200x630" type="image" width="1200" />" /><perch:else />
<meta property="og:image" content="<perch:pages id="domain" type="hidden" /><perch:pages id="sharing_image" type="hidden" />" /></perch:if>
<link rel="canonical" href="<perch:pages id="url" type="hidden" />" />
<link rel="publisher" href="GOOGLE LINK FROM SOCIAL_MEDIA.HTML HERE"/>
<meta property="og:locale" content="en_GB" />
<perch:if exists="og_type"><meta property="og:type" content="<perch:pages id="og_type" label="Facebook type" type="select" options="article,book,profile,website,video,music" allowempty="true" />" />
</perch:if><perch:if exists="og_author"><meta property="article:author" content="<perch:pages id="og_author" type="hidden" />" /></perch:if>
