Is there a way to block all changes to the frontend display, after a site url has been requested? Something akin to SuppressAdminOutput() for backend display?
I want to be able to just "do something" instead of "display something", after receiving a relevant URL request.
Sofar I can't find a way to process an action, which itself displays nothing, without stuffing up the display.
Front-end-initiated action to just do something, not display

Sure:
use a template with nothing in it but:
{content assign='content' wysiwyg=false}
Create a page connected to that template. Do your thing inside the content block (e.g. call a udt).
It will output an empty page.
EDIT: '?showtemplate=false' in the url will skip whole template but default content block {content} too. But depending on how that default content block is setup AND what your procedure will output it might/might not return an empty page.
