Here are the things that I did to get my jquery, json, and ajax
working
1. I included this line in app/config/routes.php
Router::parseExtensions('rss', 'json', 'xml'); //notice
json over there
2. Then, I created a folder named "json" in my views/post..so my views
folder structure look like this
views
post
json
message.ctp
In message.ctp, I am using this code to convert PHP array (that came
from controller) to json format
<?php
echo $javascript->object($message); //$message is the PHP array
?>
3. Now, when I need to data in ajax format, I just add the extension
"json" to my controller-method call. So for the above method
"message", my url look like this
So the url for the ajax call in this case is
jQuery.ajax("http://localhost/site/post/message.json";,
function(){
//add your function here
});
This will be give you json data as output
The good thing with this approach is that if you remove "json" from
your url, you will get normal output. This assuming you have a file
"message.ctp" in views/post
hope this helps
