Sometimes you need to upload files to, for example, validate an affiliate with whom you want to start to work.
The problem, is that these affiliate files need to be "clean", no template, no theme, just the code or validation string which they send.
The solution can be very complicated, like creating a new theme just for a group or a contect of pages... or as simple as creating a node with the string which we need and executing a php code with an exit command. Something like this:
valicationStringLikeUZasdBNf6asdfT2asdfafjpdadf===58QYg==
<?php
exit;
?>
so, when you open this node, you'll see a blank page like the one in the screenshot.
Well, i don't like to use php inside nodes, this practice must be avoided, but for this case, the code is enough simple and, the most important thing, it doesn't break the cron execution. So, everyone happy :-).
Do you have a different or improved idea for this? Please, share :-)
