[wp-hackers] Map a custom url to its content.

[Rajasekharan S]

This was otto's suggestion:

add_action('template_redirect','your_function');
function your_function() {
  if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == 'whatever-you-want-the-uri-to-be') {
    // produce your output
  exit();
  }
}

This is almost what I want it to be. A detail that I forgot to mention in 
the first post was that the mapped URL should use  the template that is 
currently active. The content that the plugin generates should go in the 
content area. 

Any ideas how I can map the URL to a function and have it use the 
currently active template?

Thank you all for your responses. 

Raj

add_action('template_redirect','your_function');
function your_function() {
  if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == 'whatever-you-want-the-uri-to-be') {
    // produce your output
  exit();
  }
}
