Override Joomla Component Template

I am using this URL to access the raw HTML of a component:

/index.php?option=com_downloadform&tmpl=component

However it also returns the document type, title tags, head tags etc.

Is there a way to return only the content between <body> and </body>?

Thanks,

Ian

Do you want everything inside the <body> (this includes nav, header, footer, all modules etc) or just the content that your component outputs? - MrCode
Sorry just the component output. - Ian Jamieson

Inside your template folder, create a file (e.g. raw.php) and inside that file place only:

<jdoc:include type="component" />

Then, you can use /index.php?option=com_downloadform&tmpl=raw to access the raw output of the component. The tmpl parameter in your link must be the name of the file without the extension.
