• For the different requirements of the header-footer, you can use the experience fragment.

• If you don't want to use experience fragments it's better to separate the template. Create 2 different templates from the base template types.

• Again if your template page support iparsys in the header and footer section this is also can be easily done.

@divanshjohndigital In case there is a limited number of pages, I suggest you unlock the experience fragment component on an editable template and let the AEM content author select the experience fragment path in every newly created page. Otherwise, create separate editable templates by considering the first template path structure as sling resourceType.

Hi @divanshjohndigital There are multiple ways to achieve the use case mentioned by you based on the business requirement. 

Requirement I : (based on the locale the header/footer has to a different layout)

fetch the url of the current page and get the locale

@ScriptVariable
private Page currentPage;

String pagePath = currentPage.getPath();
final String[] = pagePath.split(SLASH);
final String locale = pagePath.startsWith(PATH_CONTENT) ? String.format("%s%s%s", split[4], HYPHEN, split[5]) : StringUtils.EMPTY;

Now based on the locale you can auotmatically decide which layout needs to be displayed.

Requirement II (displayed the layout based on the selection within the footer/header):

Reference you using the initial content is as follows:

Hope this helps!
