Overriding page.tpl.php from module
asund - May 11, 2008 - 21:04
Hi!
I'm making my first module - it parses drupal nodes to xml for flash interfacing.
My problem is:
I'm making a page with hook_menu, but i don't want the page to include drupal templates like page.tpl.php. I want it to render the page as xml and need it to start th page with
$xml_header='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';
header('Content-type: text/xml');
print $xml_header; I can do this by altering på page.tpl.php, but I would like my module to do this automatically.
How? :)
maybe i should be more
maybe i should be more clear:
I'm making the page /xml_parser with hook_menu in my module.
I want drupal to drop the page.tpl.php when on this path (or use another template file in the module directory).
I don't want to have to change to theme templates to do this.. :)
How are you planning to invoke these?
If you are using hook_menu, you specify what function is called and in that function you don't have to call the functions that ultimate call page.tpl.php. Or maybe I'm missing something?
Can you give some more details on what you are trying to accomplish complete with example URLs and what you want them to do, and why?
if i use print $output; in
if i use
print $output;in stead ofreturn $output;it overrides the template, but is that good practice?That's not what I was
That's not what I was asking.
What is your business use-case?
What are your URLs that you plan to use?
Do you want an XML URL for each content node, or something else?
I guess I don't understand what you are trying to do and I need to understand to offer help.
