Global Footer does not display on Blog Listing template only

Developer Support CMS Development
1

I’m new to the HubSpot CMS but have been working through the CMS for developers course and have a decent understanding of HubSpot themes.

My client’s theme uses a global partial for the footer, which contains a global module. This footer display properly on all page, and single blogs, but will not display on the blog listing page.

I’ve spent a while combing the the template/module files, page editor, settings, etc.

The best lead I have is this, if i look at the sources of the blog listing page I can see this comment inside the global footer drag and drop markup: <!-- custom widget definition not found (portalId: null, path: null, moduleId: null) -->

Hi, @RHirliman :waving_hand: Thanks for reaching out. @Anton @Indra, do you have any tips or troubleshooting steps you can share with @RHirliman?

Thank you! — Jaycee

Hi @RHirliman,

<!-- custom widget definition not found (portalId: null, path: null, moduleId: null) -->

means that the path to the module/partial is wrong and couldn’t be loaded.

First thing I’d do is check the listing layout

If you have something like this in your listing template:

{% extends '../../templates/layout/layout.html' %}
...

{% block body %}
... 
{% endblock body %}
{% block footer %}
{% global_partial path="../../templates/globals/lp-footer.html" name="Footer" %}
{% endblock footer %}

awesome!

The only thing you have to do is: right-click on the footer template and select “copy path” - not public path/URL and place it into the path.

It’s the first thing I check if I get such an error message. If it works - nice! Job done :smiley:

If you don’t have it - check if other templates(where it’s working) containing an

{% block footer %}
...
{% endblock footer %}

element. If they have it - Awesome! You know why it’s not working. Copy the code, place it in your listing template, change the path like described above, try it out, save it - done!

Hope that helps

best
