RE: [fw-general] doing xajax like operation in zend framework

[Xavier Vidal]

Last year we need something similar as Xajax, and i've developed a simple
class to achieve this functionality, but only the server part. The client
part is hardcoded with javascript helpers.

You can find a snippet here: http://www.pasteyourcode.com/34

A example could be useful:

Class IndexController extends Zend_controller_Action
{
    public function ajaxAction()
    {
        // disable view renderer

        $ajax = Xvp_Ajax::getInstance();
          $ajax->appendContent("$('#box').html('this is a test')");
        $ajax->appendContent("alert('bingo')");
        $ajax->render();
    }
}

This example uses Jquery. In the template, you can put something like:

<script type="text/javascript">
function refresh() {
        $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "/default/index/ajax",
                dataType: "script",
        });
};
</script>

<div id="box" style="border:1px solid #ccc;width:100px;height:100px">
</div>

<input type="button" onclick="refresh()" id="refresh" value="Refresh"
name="refresh">

Hope it helps !

Asunto: [fw-general] doing xajax like operation in zend framework


hi i was wondering if the zend framework provides a built-in way of
manipulating html from the controller/action using ajax and javascript. i'm
referring to how xajax and sajax does this. you see they implement something
like the following on the php script:

$x = new xajax();
$x->setStyle('aClass', 'display:none');

to manipulate the html and set the style of elements with class aClass to
'display:none'

<div class="aClass">some content</div>

now, moving on the mvc approach. i was thinking of a similar way to handle
an ajax request to '/ajax/save/'. the said action will save some data passed
by the ajax request and return a notification on the success of the
operation. it will do so by creating a new div on the html an displaying the
message in it. following is an imaginary code of the said idea.

class AjaxControler extends Zend_Controller_Action {
   public function saveAction() {
      $data = getParam('data');
      // save $data probably to database

      $x = new xajax();
      $x->addDiv('Data successfully saved', 'position:centered');
   }
}

now, as you see. i'm not defining any view scripts. and i hope your getting
my point. any nice ideas about this. am i doing this right?
