BackEnd : not render template and theme

Hi,

Like params "show_template" and "disable_theme" in FrontEnd, I'm searching a mean to get the same behaviour in BackEnd.

I have created my own module and want to allowed BackEnd user to download some data in different formats (CSV, PDF, ...).

For that, I use in my module some header() instructions, whose :

Code:

header("Content-Type: application/csv");

The problem here, is that the start of the BackEnd template is embedded in my files. In other word, my CSV file owns :

Code:

- HTML header
- header of BackEnd
- Navigation
- Start of page content
- Then my data at CSV format.

How could I do so that template is not embedded in my file when I process the header() ?

Thanks for ideas.

If someone has already implemented AJAX behaviour in BackEnd I imagine he has found a way to retrieve data without all the template.
That is an idea.

Hi and thanks Jos !

For information, a way is to perform a :

Code:

ob_end_clean();

before generating data.

For example :

Code:

ob_end_clean();
ob_start();
// stuff here
ob_end_flush();
