Page Headers
Customise HTTP headers using standard page output
Description
Custom Page Headers Symphony Extension
- Version: 1.1
- Author: Henry Singleton
- Build Date: 04 Jun 2012
- Requirements: Symphony 2.2.5 - Symphony 2.3.x
Overview
This Symphony CMS extension allows you to define headers by page output. This lets you build headers using data from datasources or other page information. Anything that's accessible from a standard page really!
Great for generating redirect urls for 301/302 redirects if you need information from existing Symphony entries, or want to store redirect stats via an event etc.
Installation
Upload the 'page_headers' folder in this archive to your Symphony 'extensions' folder.
Enable it by selecting the "Page Headers" extension, choose Enable from the with-selected menu, then click Apply.
Usage
- Create a new page, and give it a page type of 'headers'.
- Make the page output plain text that you want for your headers. If you also want to output actual page content in the message body, simply separate your headers by a blank newline (as per the HTTP spec for separating message headers/body).
Notes
If HTML/XML is detected at the start of the page output, the extension will not do anything, even if the 'headers' page type is set.
Example
Create a new page, give it a page type of 'headers' and save the following as the page template content:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"
encoding="UTF-8"
indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="/">
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Location: http://www.google.com/
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Changelog
- 1.0 Initial release
- 1.1 Updated extension.meta.xml to include namespace for Symphony 2.3 compatibility. (Thanks to andrewminton)
