# Extend Templates

In this example, the footer of the main theme is extended with an additional container. The procedure is exactly the same as if you were developing your own theme for Shopware 6.

**The only difference:**\
The folder structure of the main theme must be adhered to here for the customizations to take effect.

Here is a sample code of the footer of the main theme:

{% @github-files/github-code-block url="<https://github.com/rhwebdesign/RHWebChildThemeTemplate/blob/master/src/Examples/_exampleFooter/_footerMain.html.twig>" %}

Let's assume you want to display an area for customer reviews above the footer. Then you should create the `base.html.twig` file in the **views** folder in your child theme.

{% hint style="info" %}
I have already created this file for you in my [child theme template](/shopware-theme/en/for-developers/child-theme.md). It's best to use the template as a guide.
{% endhint %}

### Extension of the Footer

The block {% block base\_footer %} must now be extended, so your base.html.twig should look like this after customization:

{% @github-files/github-code-block url="<https://github.com/rhwebdesign/RHWebChildThemeTemplate/blob/master/src/Examples/_exampleFooter/_footerChild.html.twig>" %}

{% hint style="info" %}
You should always **clear the cache** after a customization.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rh-webdesign.com/shopware-theme/en/for-developers/child-theme/extend-templates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
