switch off the automatic append Template by API

[gunter]

unfortunately this following code does not work, and I don´t know why...

if($config->ajax) {
    // page was requested from ajax
    $config->appendTemplateFile = ''; // switching off the _main.php template - but does not work...
    // then do some ajax post handling here...
}

I like to use the automatic including of the _main.php, via the config.php...
but I want switch it off in my template, when a ajax call is coming...
How can I override the setting from the config.php on my page?

Is it possible, or do I have to make a separate template for this?

I don't think you can change that setting in your template because it is already loaded. I think the best approach is to add the following to the top of the template file that is being appended.

if($config->ajax) return;

or instead you could use:

if($useAppended) return;

and then in your template files you could do:

if($config->ajax) $useAppended = true;

Lots of options really

Oh, thanks, it works now!!!
I didn´t thought about using return
