How to include Service-Menu in Sidebar Navigation? - templates

Question

I've tried to include the service-menu-block into the twig file of the sidebar, which is loaded in category-pages, but for some reason the this doesn't work. its the same code, thats works in the footer section. If I write some static html in there it shows, but but the pages from the menu aren't listed. could somebody help out?
This is the code from the service menu:
{% sw_include '#Storefront/storefront/layout/navigation/my-service-menu.html.twig'%}

The footer navigation content, i assume thats the content you want to display inside your category page sidebar, is only loaded during the FooterPageletLoader and added during the GenericPageLoader to the page.footer variable for twig.
You can test that by adding {{ dump(page.footer) }} to the template where you wanted to include the service menu. If the dump is empty, your current page is not using the GenericPageLoader or does not have access to the data. If the dump is not empty, the required data for the template might need to be passed differently. For example:
{% sw_include '#Storefront/storefront/layout/navigation/my-service-menu.html.twig'' with {
data: page.test
} %}
Shopwares GenericPageLoader can be injected if its missing from your Controller/PageLoader. In my example, MyPageStruct extends Struct and provides just one function.
public function __construct(
private readonly GenericPageLoaderInterface $genericLoader
) { }
public function load(Request $request, SalesChannelContext $salesChannelContext): MyPageStruct
{
$page = $this->genericLoader->load($request, $salesChannelContext);
$page = MyPageStruct::createFrom($page);
$page->setDataFunction();
return $page;
}
