Hello Hendrik, Thank you for your help! I can get the 'ok' in the alert with your code. However, how do I show the response in the alert? For some reason I am unable to pass the message back from the view; I keep getting an empty alert(response).
My view looks like: def new_session(request): if not request.is_ajax() or not request.method=='POST': return HttpResponseNotAllowed(['POST']) else: request.session['key'] = json.loads(request.POST.get('details', '[]')) return HttpResponse(request.session['key']) I've also tried "return HttpResponse('ok')", but the 'ok' still didn't get passed to the load function. What do I do wrong? Any hints would be much appreciated! voss On Saturday, June 2, 2012 8:46:38 AM UTC-5, henzk wrote: > > Hi, > > i haven't tested the code and never used dojo before, but sth. like > this should work: > > var source1 = new dojo.dnd.Source("itemListNode"); > var source2 = new dojo.dnd.Target("selectedListNode"); > dojo.connect( source1, "onDndDrop", > function(source, nodes, copy, target){ > //gather items and details > var details = []; > for( i=0; i < nodes.length; i++){ > var item = this.getItem(nodes[i].id); > details.push(item.data); > } > //send details to server via AJAX POST request > dojo.xhrPost({ > url: "/save_details/", > content: {details: JSON.stringify(details)}, > // The success handler > load: function(response) { > alert('ok'); > }, > // The error handler > error: function() { > alert("error"); > } > }); > }); > > Explanation: > > - changed 'item' to 'var item' ... without the 'var' item will be > global, which is probably not what you want. > - to get around making multiple requests to the server(one for each > dropped node), put the detail of each node in the details array. > - then json-encode and send this array to your django view (assumed to > be at '/save_details/') > - in the view, access the list as > json.loads(request.POST.get('details', '[]')) and place it into > request.session > > As mentioned, the code is completely untested. > > Good luck! > > Yours, > > Hendrik Speidel > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
