    Confused About Nested Templates

    I need a new layout based on a parent of a child node template, but I am created the node at the child's level and it is inheriting content that I don't want in the template. Is there a way to override content that is added in at the parent template level within a child of that parent?

    Hi Steve,

    Assuming you are using razor for your templates/views, you could use sections. For example, your parent template could have the following to see if a section has been defined by any it's children. If not, default content could be displayed.

    @{
    if (IsSectionDefined("Footer")) 
    {
        RenderSection("Footer");
    }
    else 
    { 
        <div>Default footer content.</div>   
    }
}

    If you did not want default content within your child template, you could add the following section to your child template.

    @section Footer 
{
    <div>Override footer content.</div> 
}

    Thanks, Dan.
