Ajax responses

Ruby Apps Radiant CMS

I’m doing a custom page, and I’d like to respond to some Ajax
requests in my custom process method. I haven’t been able to find an
example of this yet, and I’m wondering if anyone who has done it
would like to volunteer a snippet of code as a guide.

A “custom page” means you are extending Radiant with a custom
controller? If
so, implementing Ajax in your site will be trivial. Do you need help on
the
server side, or help with JavaScript? I can show you how to leverage the
Prototype framework real easy.

No, it’s not a custom controller. I may yet take that route, if I
must, but by “custom page” I meant I have created an extension that
has a model that inherits from Page and overrides process.

Ben,

Your process method will have access to the request object. If it’s an
Ajax request, request.xhr? will return true.
