So I have two “utility” templates, one contains a simple search bar (just a form and input), and the other contains a table, whos content is retrieved by a helper from info entered into the search box. Basically, I want to reuse these templates and the basic “skeleton”, but have two seperate ones (eg, two sets of a search bar and table). I could just created extra templates and extra helpers and just duplicate the code but am looking for a better way.
Not sure about what you want to achieve, but you might want to have a look at https://github.com/aldeed/meteor-template-extension.
