Hi! I am trying to create a downloadable file that is autogenerated. Like rss, when you use custom layout. You create a layout.ini config and you get a nice output of whatever you want (RSS, iCal format or whatever). I would like to download this. If I'm using .php file, you simply set Content-Disposition header echo out whatever content, and user can download it. Is there a similar way to do this in ezPublish? (I've tried out custom headers, but it is not ment for this purpose, or I don't understand it - can some one clarify?) tnx

This is trivial if you get the content through an extension - I've done many to output xml,vcards etc... but, I don't think you can change the content disposition from a template. It's always AFAIR coming from php.

If you don't want to make an extension you could use the wrap operator:
- http://projects.ez.no/wrap_operator
to execute the header() PHP function. P.S. I would advise you caution when using the wrap operator, and not to get carried away with it.

How about go into index.php, and intercept the echo that writes out the page. Search for my custom tag, in my template e.g. <downloadable/> and if i find this, printout disposition header, and if not, carry on with page? - how bad is this quick fix on performance? (I did it, as a temporary solution, I will tryout wrap_operator)

It's not only performance issue, but the fact you are hacking the files of eZP installation. It's not really a clean way and you'll have to watch out for upgrades...
