Changing file extension to xml from html

Monday 06 November 2006 8:20:10 am

I'm working with an older (ez 3.0) site and trying to setup some rss feeds. My plan is to fetch use a rssexport class to fetch appropriate data and override the pagelayout of an rss siteaccess to display. My problem is that the files will always be cached and rendered as .htm and I need them to be .xml. What do I need to hack to have ez render this siteaccess as an .xml file?

The problem was that the header information sent by the index.php will always be html in this (very old) version of ez.

I decided to write my own script in rssfeed.php where I could set the header info myself with:

header( 'Content-Type: text/xml; charset=' . $httpCharset );

and created my own RSS Feed content objects for it to parse.

This is for such an old version of eZ I am sure its not worth release as a contrib but if anyone is stuck working with an old version and wants to add some RSS feel free to email me and I will send you the code.
