So my overall goal is to keep my channel:entries tags inside my template files and to move the contents of the channel:entries tag into various partials.  What I’m trying to avoid is having duplicated markup for simple variations of the channel:entries tag, which varies with the uri segments.  I’ve tried to do this with conditionals wrapped around the entires tags and also using embed tags and this Homegrown Partials plugin , but none have done the trick.

Here is a piece of code that illustrates what I’m trying to do.

{if segment_2 == ""}

        {exp:channel:entries 
          channel="events" 
          disable="categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination|trackbacks" 
          dynamic="no" 
          show_future_entries="yes" 
          show_expired="no" 
          require_entry="yes" 
          limit="1"}
           
           {exp:partials:get name="main_event"}

      {if:else}
        
        {exp:channel:entries
         channel="events"
         disable="categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination|trackbacks"
         require_entry="yes"
         show_future_entries="yes"
         limit="1"}
         
         {exp:partials:get name="main_event"}
         
      {/if}

Where

{exp:partials:get name="main_event"}

is the piece that renders the partial.  Whenever I try now the tags within the partial return as plain-text.  Again, I realize this code is technically incorrect, but I’m just using it to illustrate what my goal is.  Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!
