How can I change the mime type of a template? or other headers?
24 May 2008 at 1:01am Last edited: 24 May 2008 1:02am
hi Folks,
I just discovered SS today, and well, "impressed" doesn't even come close.
Six hours later and I am deep into building a site...
My slight problem now is I have a model/controller for a new Page type... lets call it XMLPage... and a corresponding View... e.g. /template/XMLPage.ss ...
I want to send the output of the view with an xml mime-type..
How can I override the text/html mimetype currently being sent?
I'm familiar with the PHP header function - I just dont see if a) there is a control statement I can use in a template file, or b) a function call in a controller... any help very appreciated!
Cheers,N.

Well some progress at this end...
In the controller... use the index method..class XMLPage_Controller extends ContentController {
function index() {
header("Content-Type: application/xml");
$out = $this->renderWith("XMLPage");
print $out;
exit;
}}
with a template XMLPage
$XML
and a model along the lines of
class XMLPage extends SiteTree {
static $db = array(
'XML' => 'Text'
);
static $has_one = array(
);static $icon = "mysite/images/treeicons/xml";
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Main', 'MenuTitle');
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Main', 'Content');
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Metadata', 'MetaTitle');
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Metadata', 'MetaDescription');
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Metadata', 'MetaKeywords');
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Metadata', 'ExtraMeta');
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextareaField(
$name = "XML",
$title = "XML of the core data file",
$rows = 30,
$cols = 60,
$value = "<xml>",
$dontEscape = TRUE), 'Content');
return $fields;
}}
There is some progress in that the controller now sends the right header, followed by the content of the XML - but in trying to use the inherited variable $dontEscape, I am obviously missing something, as the content of the XML field IS escaped.
Hmm.

ok, well, this works for me, not elegant, but it works. If there is a better way, please let me know.
My requirement was to have a custom form in the CMS, that allows a title, and a textarea field that will contain XML, then on the public side of the site, request the page and get an XML file, with valid headers for a content type of xml.
In my previous post I made some headway using the index function of the controller to render the view and print it out, but escaping was getting in the way.
I found that if I dispense with the view altogether, as in my case, it serves little purpose anyway, a simple echo of the field works - it does not get escaped.
FWIW..<?php
class XMLPage extends SiteTree {
static $db = array(
'XML' => 'Text'
);
static $has_one = array(
);static $icon = "mysite/images/treeicons/www";
function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Main', 'MenuTitle');
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Main', 'Content');
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Metadata', 'MetaTitle');
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Metadata', 'MetaDescription');
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Metadata', 'MetaKeywords');
$fields->removeFieldFromTab('Root.Content.Metadata', 'ExtraMeta');$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Main', new TextareaField(
$name = "XML",
$title = "XML Data",
$rows = 30,
$cols = 60,
$value = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
<!-- Put your XML below -->
<sample>Some Data</sample>"), 'Content');
return $fields;
}}
class XMLPage_Controller extends ContentController {
function init (){
parent::init();
}function index() {
header("Content-Type: application/xml");
echo $this->XML;
exit;
}
}?>
