Single Page Blocks

Permalink
I've read through some old posts, and I know I am probably just missing something, but is there any way to use the information from the page defaults automatically in a single page? I have my navigation hardcoded into the template, thats not a problem, but for example I set up some information in the footer (address, phone number, etc) that I would like to remain editable - however that information is not showing up on the single pages. Is the solution just to manually scrapbook all the missing pieces over to the single page? Thanks for the help.

Alright I think I got it... let me know if this is correct. If there is an element I want to show up automatically on a single page (besides auto-nav) I create a global scrapbook, create the block I want in there - then add it manually to the template using 
<?php
$b = Block::getByName('globalScrapbookBlockname');
$bv = new BlockView();
echo  $bv->render($b, 'view');
?>
Then if a user wanted to make a site wide change, update it in the global block and the change spreads to all pages, including single pages. Is that the process?

Yes you have got it, when using Single Pages because they are used once so there is not need for page defaults
