[SOLVED] Template gives empty output was created by nowid50

Hello,

I have tried to make a simple json output template. Currently I have those 4 files :

Category.XML

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<form>
	<author>Nowid50</author>
	<website>...</website>
	<email>...</email>
	<license>GPLv3</license>
	<version>1.0</version>
	<release>20 May 2014</release>
	<description>Category HTML5 layout similar to the Joomla blog layout. Title, description and image are set as category parameters</description>
	<fields name="attribs">
	</fields>
	<fieldgroups>
		<group>renderonly</group>
	</fieldgroups>
	<csscategory>
	</csscategory>
	<jscategory>
	</jscategory>	
</form>

Category.PHP

Code:

<?php
	echo "Category.";
?>

Item.XML

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<form>
	<author>Nowid50</author>
	<website>...</website>
	<email>...</email>
	<license>GPLv3</license>
	<version>1.0</version>
	<release>20 May 2014</release>
	<description>HTML5 layout</description>
	<fields name="attribs">
	</fields> 
	<fieldgroups>
		<group>renderonly</group>
	</fieldgroups>
	<cssitem>
	</cssitem>
	<jsitem>
	</jsitem>	
</form>

Item.PHP

Code:

<?php
	echo "Item";
?>

So I expect simple outputs. So I input "http://localhost/test/category?tmpl=category&clayout=json"

What I get is an empty page. However if I put a "die()" in the PHP, it outputs correctly but it is not so clean coding.

What am I missing ?

Thanks in advance.

Silly me ! I was forcing the template "category" but it doesn't exists.

A raw output template like this one :
Raw.PHP (in template folder)

Code:

<?php 
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
?><jdoc:include type="component" />

And using "http://localhost/test/category?tmpl=raw&clayout=json", it now works.

I'll be more carefull now on.

For those wanting JSON output like me, you can try this : github.com/Lyquix/flexicontent_templates
