How to make "no template"?

[Augustas]

Hello,

My module registers a Content Type "MyType".
The page, created with content of "MyType" should display huge amount of data which is taken from Remote Database.
To make it simple, I prefer to have my own template which contains all the info, including MetaTags, footers, etc
under /modules/MyModule/template/ folder.

In other words I do not want that the template associated with that MyType Content Page to be loaded.

I looked in the module "Printing", and it uses this command to skip the associated template:

Code: Select all

$html = $smarty->fetch('template:notemplate') . "\n";

Unfortunately, when I try to do the same, the page loads for couple of seconds (longer than normal) and in the end [glow=beige,2,300]shows blank page[/glow].

Since this approach does not work, I am forced to do it in the following way:

1. in the template associated with Page of MyType Content, I wrote ONLY this

Code: Select all

{content}

Nothing more in this template!

2. Then, my module's "default" action process the template form a .tpl file in /modules/MyModule/template/

This solution works the way I want, but I believe I am missing some features of CMSms system.

I would like to know how I could solve this issue using built-in CMSms functionality?

Thanks
