Import a page from another page

[codekiln]

I am trying to make a template for a JavaScript-enabled single page layout. Right now my layout consists of a single gigantic page, which is a bit hard to edit. It would be easier if my users could edit multiple pages that would get put into the appropriate div sections of one page. I know about using the {% include 'challenge.html' %} to import a template. I haven't been able to use include to import a page from the pages directory.

I would like my users to be able to use markdown to author this site. Considering that I would like to make a single page site, should I create a subdirectory of the templates directory, and use only markdown files in there?

Is there a way to use YML in a header of the templates in the templates directory?

I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to do but you have a few options:

• You can't put multiple pages in different places of a layout, but you can put mutliple parts of a page in different places of a layout. See the content segments page in the documentation. You can see it used in the source code of the documentation site itself.
• If you think it's awkward to have your clients edit template files in _content/templates that are then included via {% incldue %} in the master layout, you could just put those client files in a different folder. You could create a folder named _content/users, for instance, and you add it to the site/templates_dirs in the config.yml so that the include statement can find them.
