Seriously, this is not a regular tutorial, this is really advanced and super informative. I've think about this awhile ago, but couldn't find the tutorial elsewhere. Big thanks Alex.

Thank you. Super helpful video.

I got a simple example working in no time and now I'm moving on to my desired implementation, which is to create a downloadable ICS file.

My first ICS implementation generated the ICS file on the client using JS. Shortly after that I added creation of an equivalent ICS file on the server to be sent as an attachment to an alert email.

I didn't like having two different implementations for the same ICS file, so I'm deprecating the client side generation and replacing it with a hyperlink to a dynamic route that generates the ICS file using the same code as the email alert. Sweet!

I didn't expect this to be so clean. Thanks again!

Very helpful. I'm using this setup to receive webhook response and its an easy way to get dynamic routes for many use cases. We should have more videos of these odd implementations 😉

You are a legend sir. This has been bugging me all day and not one person could solve the problem. This video has been legendary.

[erichepperlewp]

Mind blown. Definitely advanced, but I love that you covered mistakes that one might make along the way.

[Daniel]

Thanks for covering this! I will definitely make use of it.

Thanks

I want set custom content-type also. How is that possible

i.e, When a user visits /svg/:MyName
Then it return a dynamic svg image containing MyName data with content-type:image/svg+xml

[tamarayee]

Thanks so much! This is exactly what I needed!

Thnx for you great content
I have two questions regarding the video:
1- what is the use of add rewrite tag?
You didn't use it here. I just can't understand when is neseccary to employ the rewrite tag function

2- is this querying safe and secure? No further need for any sanitization?

[MultiPitshou]

Thanks for the Tuts. I tried to rewrite and it worked but my problem is with the flushing of rewrite rules. I tried doing on plugin activation but it doesn't work. Any idea on how to go about?

[theman]

Isnt 'template_include' supposed to be a filter and not an action?

[jdzreacts]

Hello, thanks for this. This video is very helpful to me, but is there a way to record that 'route' to analytics like jetpack, koko, etc? It only records the page but not the specific character. I would like to see which characters are popular and not.

[megameketref]
