Removing A Mambo/Joomla Template
Now there's a misleading title but I had cause to ask a Mambo site to output some info without a template. Sadly it didn't want to do that - although if you know another method, please leave a comment...
The official method is to call www.mysite.com/index2.php but that still parses the page and adds an alternate stylesheet and header information. It's good, but not perfect.
So instead I've created a whole new template - with nothing in it.
This can be called with:
- Mambo: www.mysite.com/?mos_change_template=blank
- Joomla: www.mysite.com/?jos_change_template=blank
Start with a new folder in templates called "blank" and create templateDetails.xml
Now create the index.php file
-
<?php
-
defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );
-
?>
-
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
-
-
<?php mosMainBody(); ?>
You'll have noticed that there is still some basic html in there, add or remove as necessary.I've used this where another site has wanted a portion in an iframe, others may need it for serious debugging.
