Render full page in a variable from component php

[xitara]

Hi, I want to render a CMS-page in a component with php into a variable. The following code renders the page to a variable but breaks the output in browser (empty body)

$controller = new Controller;
$theme = Theme::getActiveTheme();
$page = Page::load($theme, $config['page']);
var_dump($controller->runPage($page, false));

same with

var_dump($controller->runPage($page, false));

and

var_dump($controller->renderContent($config['page']));

and

Controller::render($config['page']);

How can I render a page in php without breaking page-output?

thx4hlp

@xitara so we can determine if this is the best course of action, what are you trying to achieve by loading a full page to a variable?

[bennothommo]

@LukeTowers if I recall correctly, you were proposing a ChildPage component at one stage (I think this was for the Pages plugin though).

[LukeTowers]

Yeah, there was definitely that, I might have been trying to do something with the documentation on the marketplace for this case though.

@bennothommo I have a plugin to place boxes/sections on a page and i wand to render a whole page and put it in one of the boxes (see screenshot)

).

There are some komplex components in the pages an I need the rendered components

I hope you understand what I mean.

@xitara Just to clarify, when you mean rendering the whole page, do you mean including the layout as well, or just the page itself?

[xitara]

sorry for the late reply.
the page without layout is also ok, with layout would be a good option.
including layout give me the possibility to render different pages with a global structure (certenly without etc.
