Excluding an include template

Question

is there a simple way to exclude an 'include' for specific pages?

For instance I have an include {% include "_globals/_footer" %} but I don't want it to appear on my contact and 404 pages. How would I exclude it?

Thank you!

Answer 1

There may be a better way, including adding exclusions as an array and checking if the segment exists in the array, but what about wrapping it in an if tag? This seems to work.

{% if craft.request.firstSegment != 'contact' and craft.request.firstSegment != '404'  %}
    {% include 'layouts/partials/my-template'%}
{% endif %}

Quick update: This is very rough but an example with exclusions array (doesnt account for other segments, just an example...

{% set exclusions = ['contact','404'] %}
{% if craft.request.firstSegment not in exclusions  %}
    {% include 'layouts/partials/my-template'%}
{% endif %}

Answer 2

Another way would be to use:

{% include [
    '_globals/footer-' ~ craft.request.lastSegment,
    '_globals/footer'
] %}

You'd then have your regular footer.twig for all pages, but you could have a footer-404.twig that would just render on the 404 page.

Note: I think the previous solutions are better, but variety of solutions is always good, right?

Answer 3

Just in case anyone stumbles across this and is using craft 3 "craft.request.firstSegment" is now deprecated in favour of "craft.app.request.segments|first". So this is now:

{# Includes the footer on all pages except homepage, contact and 404 #}
{% set exclusions = ['', 'contact', '404'] %}
{% if craft.app.request.segments|first not in exclusions  %}
    {% include '_footer'%}
{% endif %}

Answer 4

You can use this answer to create Template Variable. Then use it like this:

{%- if craft.myPlugin.getHttpStatus() != 404 -%}
    {%- include "_globals/_footer" -%}
{%- endif -%}
