When visiting the XML url, the theming layer is not passed. this ignores the views-data-export-xml-body.tpl.php provided in the theme folder of the module, which you could use in older versions.

It seems the branch 4.x was rewritten to build XML by XMLWriter, not by template files. And after rewrite somebody forgot to remove tpl.php files for XML exporter, so it seems site builder can use them.

It seems templates for all file types are not used now.

4.x is a development version, and is not very complete!

We should remove these templates though and provide docs on how to customise.

@Steven: There are ways how to customize outputs? (I do not see what to document :-))

Btw, I tried to delete everything in /theme directory except of this functions in views_data_export.theme.inc (because I am not sure if they are not useful for something):

  • theme_views_data_export_message
  • theme_views_data_export_feed_icon
  • theme_views_data_export_complete_page

Everything in XML seems working.

What about next step, Steven?
