Symfony2, Twig, change twig after include - symfony

I have such hierarchy of twig files
my main (for controller) twig
{% extends "MainSiteBundle::layout.html.twig" %}
{% block footer_moderator_buttons %}
some buttons
{% endblock %}
{% block content_body %}
<p>hello moderator</p>
{{ include ('MainBlogBundle:_parts:postList.html.twig', {'postList': aPostDraft}) }}
{% endblock %}
postList.html.twig
<div class="post-list">
{% for postSingle in postList %}
{{ include ('MainBlogBundle:_parts:postSingle.html.twig', {'postSingle': postSingle}) }}
{% endfor %}
</div>
postSingle.html.twig
<div class="post">
<div class="post-header">
<a class="title" href="3">{{ postSingle.title }}</a>
</div>
<div class="post-meta">
<div>Date: {{ postSingle.date|date('D M Y') }}</div>
<div>Category: {{ postSingle.getCategory.getTitle }}</div>
<div>Author: {{ postSingle.getUser.username }}
</div>
</div>
<div class="post-body">
<div class="content">
<img width="450" height="200" src="#">
<div class="text">{{ postSingle.content }}</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="post-footer">
{% block footer_moderator_buttons %}f{% endblock %}
<div>Views: 152</div>
<div>Comments: 1231</div>
<div>
<a class="link" href="#">More... </a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
As you can see last (postSingle.html.twig) has block "footer_moderator_buttons", so how can i change it from main twig (first one) ? Current is not working, what I need change \ do ?

In Twig 1.8 there is embed tag (http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/tags/embed.html).
You would have to remove the postList.html.twig file or work around it.
{% embed "MainBlogBundle:_parts:postSingle.html.twig" with {'postSingle': postSingle} %}
{% block footer_moderator_buttons %}
custom buttons here
{% endblock %}
{% endembed %}

So, you question is actually "I want to understand how\what twig can". Well, the answer to that question is: "It can't overwrite blocks from "main" to the smaller ones."
If you want to use twig, you have to stop thinking in php include() way where you make new files and you "PUT" components in them over and over again, components such as header, footer, menu etc.
In twig, you define main twig file with blocks which can be imagined as empty spaces which can, but do not have to, be overwritten. Surely, it still means you can have postList.html.twig as include in some file that extends MainSiteBundle::layout.html.twig. The same goes for postSingle.html.twig.
I think you catch the logic of twig except don't try to overwrite blocks from the wrong side - in this case, from MainSiteBundle::layout.html.twig to it's smaller portions.

how about this:
{% extends "MainSiteBundle::layout.html.twig" %}
....
{% block footer_moderator_buttons %}
{{ parent() }}
{% endblock %}
woops didnt put parent..
the {{ parent() }} will inherit {% block footer_moderator_buttons %}{% endblock %} from extended twig.

How to change CSS properties from within django HTML template logic

Newbie question I presume: How do I change some CSS property (// change background image of parent div) of the parent element from within the logic in the HTML template? Do I really need to implement JS for this?
<div class="exercise-items-wrapper">
{% if error %}
{{ error }}
{% else %}
{% for x in exercise %}
<div class="exercise-item">
{{x.name}}
{% if x.primary_focus == 'CO' %}
// change background image of parent div
{% endif %}
{% if x.friend_verified %}
<img src="{% static 'main/images/fv.svg' %}" height="14px">
{% endif %}
<p id="exercise-level" class="exercise-level">lv. VII</p>
{% if x.video_verified %}
<img src="{% static 'main/images/vv.svg' %}" height="14px">
{% endif %}
</div>
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
</div>
If by parent div you're referring to the div with class exercise-item, then the way I've always done this is to simply also write the if-then template block within the class attribute:
<div class="exercise-item {% if x.primary_focus == 'CO' %}special-background-class{% endif %}">
And then define special-background-class in your CSS. Admittedly it doesn't look nice to read, but it works and it's much more maintainable than anything that has to use JS, unless your JS is already well-integrated into your Django app.

Drupal 8 - page.html.twig not updating website

I am new to Drupal, and I'm creating a custom theme based on a Bootstrap Bario subtheme on Drupal 8.
I can update the CSS with no problem, but I first need to clear the cache before reloading the page (which gets annoying, is there a way to avoid that?).
This is how the theme's regions are arranged:
I added the help: 'Help' region in the .info.yml file, under the line footer_fifth: 'Footer Fifth', and the added Help region appears in the Block Layout page.
I then modified the relevant parts of templates/_page.html.twig like so:
From this
{% block footer %}
<div class="{{ container }}">
{% if page.footer_first or page.footer_second or page.footer_third or page.footer_fourth %}
<div class="site-footer__top clearfix">
{{ page.footer_first }}
{{ page.footer_second }}
{{ page.footer_third }}
{{ page.footer_fourth }}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% if page.footer_fifth %}
<div class="site-footer__bottom">
{{ page.footer_fifth }}
</div>
{% endif %}
</div>
{% endblock %}
to this
{% block footer %}
<div class="{{ container }}">
{% if page.footer_first or page.footer_second or page.footer_third or page.footer_fourth or page.footer_fifth %}
<div class="site-footer__top clearfix">
{{ page.footer_first }}
{{ page.footer_second }}
{{ page.footer_third }}
{{ page.footer_fourth }}
{{ page.footer_fifth }}
</div>
{% endif %}
{% if page.help %}
<div class="site-footer__bottom">
{{ page.help }}
</div>
{% endif %}
</div>
{% endblock %}
As you can see, I added or page.footer_fifth to the first if statement, moved {{ page.footer_fifth }} to the site-footer__top div, and added {{ page.help }} in its place.
After that, I go and clear the cache, but the block regions are still the same. If I inspect my block in the Footer Fifth region, it is still in the <div class="site-footer__bottom">.
Did I miss something?
Thank you in advance.
I think the template file name is wrong. See:
templates/_page.html.twig usually should be:
templates/page.html.twig
the complete path of your template should be "/themes/custom/yourthemename/".
PS: theme debug will help you in case of any doubt.

3 Level Deep Timber menu (Wordpress)

I'm not familiar with timber at all, but am helping a friend finish up a project that was built with it. So any help would go a long way please!
I have only the first two tiers showing up. Is there a way to call on the child of a child?
I'm using the code here, and added to it another tier under child https://timber.github.io/docs/guides/menus/
{% if menu %}
<div class="header-menu-items">
<div class="header-menu-item mod-title">
<a href="{{ site.url }}" class="" rel="home">
<div class="header-item-logo">
<div class="sitelogo">{{ site.name }}</div>
</div>
</a>
</div>
{% for item in menu.get_items() %}
<div class="header-menu-item {{ item.current ? 'is-active' : '' }}">
<div class="header-menu-item-link">
<a target="{{ item.target }}" href="{{ item.link }}">{{ item.title }}</a>
</div>
<div class="header-menu-item-triangle"></div>
<div class="header-menu-item-mega {{ item.section_colour ? " mod-#{item.section_colour}" : '' }}">
{% if item.master_object.thumbnail %}
<div class="mega-image mod-image" style="background-image: url( {{item.master_object.thumbnail.src('thumbnail') }} )">
{% else %}
<div class="mega-image">
{% endif %}
{{ item.title }}
</div>
<div class="mega-items">
{% for child in item.children %}
<div class="mega-item">
<a target="{{ child.target }}" href="{{ child.link }}">
<span class="mega-item-title">{{ child.title }}<br /></span>
<span class="mega-item-excerpt">Mega menu description lorem ipsum dolores</span>
</a>
</div>
{% for child in child.children %}
Just testing to see if it'll even show up first before applying style<br />
{{ child.title }}<br />
{% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
</div>
</div>
</div>
{% endfor %}
</div>
{% endif %}
You can access menus several layers deep by nesting for loops inside of one another. Here is a code snippet that I have tested and works.
{% for item in menu__main.items %} {# This is the top level #}
<p>{{ item }}</p>
{% if item.children %}
{% for child in item.children %} {# 2nd Level #}
<p><em>{{ child }}</em></p>
{% if child.children %}
{% for third in child.children %} {# 3rd Level #}
<p><strong>{{ third }}</strong></p>
{% endfor %} {# for third in child.children #}
{% endif %} {# if child.children #}
{% endfor %} {# for child in item.children #}
{% endif %} {# if item.children #}
{% endfor %} {# for item in menu__main.items #}
I have added comments to the end of the lines to hopefully make this more clear. So at the top, you are looping through item in menu__main.items
Then to get the children inside of these, you loop through item.children since item is the variable that represents each nav item at the top/main level. You loop through item.children to get to the next level or the children inside of the main/top level.
Then to get inside of the third level, you loop through child.children since child is the variable that represents the 2nd level. We want to loop through the children of this 2nd level. so we do third in child.children. third is the variable that represents the items 3 levels down.
I hope you can see the pattern here and you can continue this even further if you have items at even deeper levels, although at some point it will probably get ridiculous. Like if you have items nested 5 or 6 levels deep.
Let me know if that makes sense and if not I will be more than happy to try and explain it another way if you still have questions.
Cheers

Drupal 8 remove style element in views custom text

I encounter a problem with the way Drupal renders Global Custom text.
I need to use Custom text field in my view to wrap fields. The body field has some "style" element inside the HTML but they are removed.
{% if field_titre_rubrique is defined and field_titre_rubrique|length %}
<div class="ancre" id="{{ field_ordre_rubrique }}">
<h1 class="ancreMenu">{{field_titre_rubrique}}</h1>
<div>
{% if body is defined %}
{{body}}
{% endif %}
{% if field_pdf is defined %}
{{field_pdf}}
{% endif %}
</div>
</div>
<div>{{ edit_node }}</div>
{% endif %}
Do I have a solution to keep "style" elements ?
You can use {{ body|raw }} but be sure that you can do this safely.

Is a Twig block empty? - Symfony 2

I have a twig template with the following block:
{% block dashboard %}
{% include "::user_dashboard.html.twig" %}
{% endblock dashboard %}
Later in that template, I want to set a class on a div based on whether or not there is anything in that block (i.e., by default, it will have the include above, but children of this template may override it and empty it out).
What I had (that somewhat worked) was ...
{% set _dashboard = block('dashboard') %}
{% set _mainWidth = ( _dashboard|trim is empty ? "no-dashboard" : "with-dashboard" ) #}
<div id="main" class="{{ _mainWidth }}">
The problem here is that whole dashboard block gets called twice. This wouldn't bother me too much except that block renders a few controller actions, i.e. ...
{% render "UserWidget:userAppMenu" %}
... and the code in that action is being called twice. For various reasons, not the least of which is performance, this messes with some of the stuff in that dashboard block.
So, my question is ... is there any way to tell if that block is empty without loading it twice? Is there something really simple I'm missing or is this even possible?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Here is my full template if it helps clarify things:
{% extends '::base.html.twig' %}
{% block layout %}
{% block header %}
{% include "::header.html.twig" %}
{% endblock header %}
<div id="container" class="row-fluid">
{% block dashboard %}
{% include "::user_dashboard.html.twig" %}
{% endblock dashboard %}
{% set _dashboard = block('dashboard') %}
{% set _mainWidth = ( _dashboard|trim is empty ? "no-dashboard" : "with-dashboard" ) %}
<div id="main" class="{{ _mainWidth }}">
<h1 class="page-title">{% block page_title %}{% endblock %}</h1>
{% block main_filters %}{% endblock %}
{% if app.session.flashbag.has('message') %}
<div class="alert alert-block alert-success">
<ul>
{% for flashMessage in app.session.flashbag.get('message') %}
<li>{{ flashMessage }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% if app.session.flashbag.has('warning') %}
<div class="alert alert-block alert-success">
<ul>
{% for flashWarning in app.session.flashbag.get('warning') %}
<li>{{ flashWarning }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
</div>
{% endif %}
{% block body %}{% endblock %}
{% block footer %}
{% include "::footer.html.twig" %}
{% endblock footer %}
</div>
</div>
{% endblock layout %}
Here you can see on lines 11 and 15 - both of those actually seem to include and process what is in that include.
What about this? This way the block should only be rendered once, when you call block('dashboard').
{# at top of twig #}
{% set _dashboard = block('dashboard') %}
{# where ever you include your block #}
<div>
{{ _dashboard|raw }}
</div>
{# and your main #}
{% set _mainWidth = ( _dashboard|trim is empty ? "no-dashboard" : "with-dashboard" ) #}
<div id="main" class="{{ _mainWidth }}">
