How to bypass "refreshLayout.html" restriction for page

Hello all,

In this line

apostrophecms/apostrophe/blob/master/lib/modules/apostrophe-templates/index.js

// Implements template rendering via Nunjucks. **You should use the
// `self.render` and `self.partial` methods of *your own* module**,
// which exist courtesy of [apostrophe-module](../apostrophe-module/index.html)
// and invoke methods of this module more conveniently for you.
//
// You may have occasion to call `self.apos.templates.safe` when
// implementing a helper that returns a value that should not be
// escaped by Nunjucks. You also might call `self.apos.templates.filter` to
// add a new filter to Nunjucks.

var _ = require('lodash');
var moment = require('moment');
var qs = require('qs');

module.exports = {

  alias: 'templates',

  // options:
  //

This file has been truncated. show original

of the apostrophe-templates module it states that a jquery get call will set the req.xhr and as a result the “refreshLayout.html” will be used, which mean you don’t get the entire page.

However this seems restrictive and we need a way to override it, because what if I actually just wanted the entire page for say animation purposes, or crawling purposes using jquery?

I am really stuck on this one, so any help would be appreciated. Something that comes to mind is just creating my own get endpoint and rendering the page, but it seems cumbersome at the moment.

Thanks,
FP
