I have been having some trouble obtaining the html view rendered by an action
from an AJAX request. Initially, in my ajax-ed controller action, i was
checking if the request was XmlHttpRequest, and if so, disabling the layout
so just the portion of the view is returned. This was not working, so a
little research found pointers towards the AjaxContext helper. I have set it
up as follows:
Controller:
public function init(){
parent::init();
$this->flashMessenger =
$this->getHelper('FlashMessenger');
$ajaxContext = $this->_helper->getHelper('AjaxContext');
$ajaxContext->addActionContext('view', 'html')
->initContext();
}
public function viewAction(){
if(!($id = $this->getRequest()->getParam('newsID'))){
$this->_redirect('index');
}
$newsTable = new News_Table();
$select = $newsTable->select();
$select->setIntegrityCheck(false);
$select->from('news')->joinLeft('news_approved',
'news.id = news_approved.news_id',
array('approver_id' => 'staff_id', 'date_approved'));
$select->where('id = ?',(int) $id);
$rowset = $newsTable->fetchAll($select);
$this->view->assign('news', $rowset->current());
}
The view script rendered for this is called view.phtml, so as per the
documentation, i copied the content and named a new view script
view.ajax.phtml.
Although the correct action is being called (from jquery, with format=html
appended to the query string, although it would be nice to assume that no
format parameter = html by default, unless this can be set somewhere?) and
loading the correct ajax view script, it is not disabling the layout, and i
am getting a "page within a page".
Any pointers on what i'm doing wrong?
