Might have figured something out by now but here's what I did, no idea
if it's the right way or not but it works for me :)
I created a new layout, call it jsonp.ctp for example. Set the
appropriate controllers or methods to use this layout.
The layout is this:
<?php
$content = '<div id="widget-container">';
if ($session->check('Message.flash')) {
$content .= $session->read('Message.flash');
}
$content .= $content_for_layout;
$content .= '</div>';
echo $_GET['callback'] . '(' . json_encode($content) . ')';
?>
Done. I wrap the output in a div common to all mock pages. Then as far
as the controller and views are concerned, it's business as usual and
everything just works. You could also opt to return an array with the
flash message as one param and an html param as another, depending on
how the js side of the app works. Your methods could also pass a
status variable into the view and the layout can pick that up and
return it.
If you're not using cross domain ajax your layout could be a bit
easier then.
<?php echo json_encode( array( 'status' => $status, 'html' =>
$content_for_layout ) ); ?>
