Magento – default.xml in the custom module isn’t working

layoutmagento2

I'm trying to add custom template from my custom module.

Layout file: app/code/Foo/Bar/view/frontend/layout/default.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="footer">
            <block class="Foo\Bar\Block\FooterTest" name="footer_assets" template="footer/test.phtml" />
        </referenceContainer>
    </body>
</page>

my template: app/code/Foo/Bar/view/frontend/templates/footer/test.phtml

<span>test</span>

When i rename layout file from default.xml to cms_index_index.xml then template is displayed, but only on home page. What i have to change to display this template on all pages?

In you default.xml you can add after="footer_links" and mention your module template like "Foo_Bar::footer/test.phtml"

I have tried below code and working fine for me.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
        <body>
            <referenceContainer name="footer">
        <block class="Foo\Bar\Block\FooterTest"  name="footer_assets" after="footer_links" template="Foo_Bar::footer/test.phtml"/>
            </referenceContainer>
        </body>
    </page>

Hope this answer will help.
