how to display cobalt output without site template, but conserving the css?

You can open the main content area by adding &tmpl=component to your Cobalt list URL.

By default this will use the component.php in your template folder.

So, if this is not used for any other special display, you might edit this file directly. Most likely it is used by modal popup windows e.g. mail-to etc.

I would consider to use your own file. You can copy the component.php and rename it to your liking: mycomponent.php

Remember to change the URL parameter accordingly: YourCobaltListURL&mycomponent.php

You can edit and add code to this file like you know it from your main index.php file:

• add/remove stylesheets
• add/remove javascript
• load/unload J! head

yuppi! Thanks for your help pepper :-)

You're welcome!

Variation

BTW, you might also work with (1) common component.php file. Then add an additional parameter/variable like it is done with the "print" example. Maybe use "iframe" or something like that... attach it like in the "print" example.

Examine the URL for your extra parameter...
(search for jInput in Joomla docs, because jRequest is deprecated in the near future!)

Then use that parameter/value for conditional output.

or

http://www.eos-energia-olografica-sistemica.com/index.php?option=com_cobalt& ;view=records&section_id=3&tmpl=component

I am always redirected to http://www.eos-energia-olografica-sistemica.com/eventi/contenuti/3-eventi

which is the same page but in SEF url mode why is this happening in your opinion?

I do have SEF urls activated, but this should not be the issue I guess, or am I wrong?

thank you

instead this URL is working...

http://www.eos-energia-olografica-sistemica.com/eventi/contenuti/3-eventi?& ;tmpl=component

oloccina I do have SEF urls activated, but this should not be the issue I guess, or am I wrong?

Mh, strange. I think it should be treated like a new, separate URL...

Did you try without SEF? What happens then? Maybe the Cobalt router doesn't care about the appended stuff?

Definitely a question for "Sergey". Sorry, i have no idea at the moment.

You do not have Itemid in the URL.

Sergey You do not have Itemid in the URL.

Oh, I see

anyway http://www.eos-energia-olografica-sistemica.com/eventi/contenuti/3-eventi?& ;tmpl=component is just fine

thank you

Yes, I just used ?&tmpl=component I had no time to study other better solutions, maybe the next time...
