XF 2.0 Create a completely blank page? (replace 'PAGE_CONTAINER')

[Nikolov69]

Hi,

I'm trying to find a way to replace 'PAGE_CONTAINER' with another template (for a specific page only) - I just can't quite find the right way/place to do that. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!

use this

<xf:page option="template">TEMPLATE_NAME</xf:page>

I'm going to try that, thanks @au lait! I have two small follow-up questions:

I assume that what that does is set a value for $params.template which is then used in \XF\Pub\App:


Can I use this to override any parameters inside $params? (e.g. 'sidebar')

Finally, is there any way to do it using PHP, e.g. with a code event listener?
(I snooped around the code but the closest I came was the app_pub_render_page event which doesn't appear to provide a way to change the container template).


Sorry for the long post, I hope it doesn't call for too long a reply.

With PHP I know no way.
By template, you can see it using the admin login template as an example.

You could extend XF\App and override that function in your instance of App.

Inside params is btw possible:

Called just before the public page HTML is rendered.
Callback signature:

\XF\Pub\App $app, array &$params, \XF\Mvc\Reply\AbstractReply $reply, \XF\Mvc\Renderer\AbstractRenderer $renderer​

Arguments:

2. \XF\Pub\App $app - Public App object.
4. array &$params - Array of params being passed into the (container) template.
6. \XF\Mvc\Reply\AbstractReply $reply - Reply object.
8. \XF\Mvc\Renderer\AbstractRenderer $renderer - Renderer object.

So something like:

public static function pubRenderListener(\XF\Pub\App $app, array &$params, \XF\Mvc\Reply\AbstractReply $reply, \XF\Mvc\Renderer\AbstractRenderer $renderer) {
    
    $params["key"] = "value";

}

should work.
