Hello,

I would like to have two variations of my template, each with a different footer. So I'm thinking of using "model groups" and "template models." In my JSP template, I have a "container" section to define my footer.

	<cms:container name="footer-modelgroup">
	  <div class="my-container-border">
		<h3>Container du footer</h3>
		<p>Déposez ici votre model group (footer).</p>
	  </div>
	</cms:container>


For my model groups I created a footer.jsp template in my module that only includes a container section:
<%@page taglibs="c,cms" %> 
<%@page buffer="none" session="false" trimDirectiveWhitespaces="true" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="cms" uri="http://www.opencms.org/taglib/cms" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="fn" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions" %>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<cms:enable-ade/>
  <div class="footer container-xxl">
	<cms:container name="footer">
	  <div class="my-container-border">
		<h3>Container du footer</h3>
		<p>Déposez ici vos différents contenus.</p>
	  </div>
	</cms:container>
</div>

I created a model group in the sitemap editor that I associated with the footer.jsp template.

I then want to associate each model group in my template models, but I can't define content in my model groups,  the "container" section is inactive.

What have I forgotten? Is my understanding of model groups correct?

Thanks for your help,

Kind regards,

Laurent
