How can I render this plugin on every pa

Answer 1

There are some template tags that should help you achieve what you are trying to do:

{% placeholder "footer" inherit %}

should inherit its content from pages above in the hierarchy, or you can render a place holder from another page with

{% show_placeholder "footer" "home" %}

you can also make a combination like

   {% placeholder "footer" or %}
   {% show_placeholder "footer" "home" %}
   {% endplaceholder %}

which will normally render the contents of the placeholder "footer" from page "home", but if you place something in the placeholder of the current page it will render this content!
