Global Scheme with GUI?

Retired Boards Appdev Graphql Basics And Troubleshooting

Topic summary

Main issue: The poster wants a reusable, schema-driven section (editable via the dashboard GUI) that appears in multiple places on a page (e.g., Header, Footer).

Constraint: They created a section with Schema but found sections cannot be nested inside other sections, preventing placement within the Header (which itself is a section).

Request: They’re looking for “global” settings—GUI-configurable like section Schema—that can be referenced site-wide. They couldn’t find such a feature in the documentation.

Possible approach: If global values were available, they’d implement the feature via Snippets that load those values. They ask for general advice on whether nesting sections is possible and how to use Schema globally across the site.

Status: No answers or solutions yet; the question remains open and unresolved.

Hi,

I tried to implement a section with Schema that is shown multiple times in the page(Header, Footer…).

First, I created it bySchema in Section but as far as I understand, Sections can’t be nested in Sections so that it can’t be put in the Header(which is also Section).

I was wondering if there are any “global” settings that can be configured with GUI (= on the dashboard) likeSchema, but I couldn’t find that kind of feature in the help document. (If it’s possible, I can implement the same feature with Snippets that can load global values.)

Anyway, I’d appreciate if anyone could give me advice in general(eg. nest Sections, how to useSchema globally across the site…).

Thanks.
