Publish a file without escaping

Hi there, I'm trying to publish a data definition as a php array for use in a script.

I setup a template like so:

<!--#passthrough<?php /* #passthrough--><html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
</head>
<body class="page-body">
<!--#passthrough */ #passthrough-->

<system-region name="code"/>

<!--#passthrough /* #passthrough-->
</body>
</html><!--#passthrough */ ?>#passthrough-->

mapped the code region to my data definition and the format to my velocity script (attached) and configured the configuration set to be a .PHP file with the serialization type as HTML (I also tried CSS).

For the most part it works, but the issue is the PHP code is being encoded, which i do not want. (getting the &gt instead of > ) also the urls are not being converted to the proper urls , they have the site://.

Any help is always appreciated. Thanks!

$array = array(
    
    array(
        "title" =&gt;'Faculty of Arts',
        "link"=&gt;'site://www.wlu.ca/academics/faculties/faculty-of-arts/index',
        "cid"=&gt; 'e2437e070a0a4ab0227deb18d24cbbce',

    Hi Brendon,

    You should be able to simplify your Template to the following:

    <!--#cascade-skip--><pass-through><system-region name="DEFAULT"/></pass-through>

    Then, in your Format simply surround the PHP content inside of #protect-top code sections to push that content to the top of the rendered page content. For additional information, check out my response to this similar discussion which deals with outputting a JSON file. In your case, it's the same setup only you are outputting PHP.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Actually, there is one small issue still, the links do not convert into non scade links, they still contain the site:// and no file extension.

        array(
            "title" =>'Faculty of Arts',
            "link"=>'site://www.wlu.ca/academics/faculties/faculty-of-arts/index',
            "cid"=> 'e2437e070a0a4ab0227deb18d24cbbce',
            "children" => array(
                                "title"=>'Ancient Studies',
                "link"=>'site://www.wlu.ca/academics/faculties/faculty-of-arts/department-of-global-studies/index',
                "pid"=>'e2437e070a0a4ab0227deb18d24cbbce'
                             ,
                                    "title"=>'Anthropology',
                "link"=>'site://www.wlu.ca/academics/faculties/faculty-of-arts/department-of-history/index',
                "pid"=>'e2437e070a0a4ab0227deb18d24cbbce'
                             ,
                                    "title"=>'Archaeology',
                "link"=>'site://www.wlu.ca/academics/faculties/faculty-of-arts/department-of-archaeology-and-classical-studies/index',
                "pid"=>'e2437e070a0a4ab0227deb18d24cbbce'
                                 )
        )

    Hi Brendon,

    In order for the links to be tracked, you will need to surround them with [system-asset] pseudo tags. Note; however, this will produce relative links by default, but you can enable the Maintain Absolute Links option on the page. If you need a fully qualified URL, you will need to append a URL onto the front of the link (before the pseudo tag).

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks!

    Not a problem at all, Brendon. I am glad to hear that did the trick.

    I'm going to go ahead and close this discussion, please feel free to comment or reply to re-open if you have any additional questions.

    Have a great day!
