[Resolved, kinda] Setting HTTP Status / Header

Hi,
how do i manually set the header for a resource? I have some special multilingual setup, so i can't just $mod->sendErrorPage(). I would like to send my 404 Page without changing the called URI and change the http status to 404.
Do i just use:


?

Thanks,

..I would like to send my 404 Page without changing the called URI..

Use sendForward: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/modX.sendForward

You can specify the second property like

to give it a 404 error response or whatever you want to give it.

sendForward expects a resource ID. If you need to add more info to the page, simply use modX::setPlaceholder and call that (uncached) on your target page.

Thanks Mark.

I actually thought of sendForward already, but since there's this rather complex setup including a cUrl-call, i'm not quite sure it will work. But if it does it certainly is the easiest way.

When you sendForward the process for the current page halts, so just do what you need to do before that.. it shouldn't matter what you do.

Well, it mostly really doesn't seem to matter what i do. You got that right.

But this actually did work, was a bit tricky though. Just setting the header would have been much easier. But then if i just don't know how to do it, whatever works is always easiest.

Cheers.
