Just started on trying out Couch and a question came to mind and I couldn't find the answer in the documentation. If I have a "block", like a footer, that I want on (almost) every page, it would be nice if I can create a separate block footer.php, then include it in the template, so if the footer changes, then editing will only be needed once. Is this possible in Couch? If yes, how to achieve this?

I think you'll find the solution described in our tutorial useful - please see the 'Global values' section on the following page

Do let us know if something remains unclear.
Thanks.
