Re: DerEuroMark - Ajax and CakePHP Tutorial Question

Sounds like you didnt read the whole post.

You probably skipped the "Last tips" part at the end - or it would be working

Asking simply because if you go here for example:

 

http://sandbox.dereuromark.de/sandbox/ajax_examples/country_provinces_ajax.json via http you see:

 

{

• "name": "Not Found",
• "url": "/sandbox/ajax_examples/country_provinces_ajax.json"

}

 

If there was no .json extension and accessed http you get the expected error page. 
Which is what I was expecting with the $this->request->onlyAllow('ajax'); but even accessing the .json (above link) you still end up with a result so the onlyAllow does not seem to only allow ajax since I can clearly see a result via http. It's just in JSON format. 

There is no error / exception throw caught. It still serves up the controller action. I was under the impression that if this controller method is accessed anyway other than "ajax" throw the exception but as you can see it's still accessible. 

Too me it just looks ugly when it's just a blank page and no explanation just a few brackets and text. (hence the point of customizing the error pages so it can match the look and feel of the site)

That's why I was asking about the removal of the .json extension so the end user will only know site.com/this/is/here and cake will know via the passed "ext" => 'json" param to use the correct view. 

Just not display the extension to the user.

Not Found

Error: The requested address '/sandbox/ajax_examples/country_provinces_ajax' was not found on this server.

 

Thanks again,

there is no need to remove it - but of course you can.

it is good practice (that is outlined in the post if you read it) to always call the url with the correct extension of what you are expecting.

rss => .rss

xml => .xml

... 

and so for an ajax requestion with a json response it would be .json

 

I would only call the url extension less if I was using a plain html response. That is also outlined in the post.

 

 

Usually you would want a different layout to be rendered when using json instead of html.

But yes, you can easily deactivate the subfolder here if necessary.

First off great article!

http://www.dereuromark.de/2014/01/09/ajax-and-cakephp/

Very informative.

 

My only question is there a way to remove the .json extension in the url?
Or is it needed to differentiate between views?

 

Only other thing I came across was my AppController isAuthorized() I have based on user logged in or not

$this->layout = 'admin'; so initially I was getting errors /app/View/Layouts/json/admin.ctp', missing.

But just added $this->layout = false; to solve that.

 

Thanks,

Dave
