I have presently a render :json which modify the current page
if @request.save
format.html { redirect_to(@request) }
format.json { render :json => { :result => 'success', :request
=> request_path(@request) } }
…
but I would like rather to redirect to an index page
I wrote this but it doesn’t redirect …
format.json { redirect_to requests_url }
what should I write to redirect correctly to an html page ?
thanks for your help

Here is an example:
format.json { render :json => { :redirect => requests_url } }
and then on your client redirect like this:
if (json.redirect) {
window.location = json.redirect;
}
Also try json redirect - Google Search
Does this solve your problem?

thanks for your help
it seems that json.redirect is bypassed…
I put an alert, and it’s not fired up
if (json.redirect) {
alert(‘redirect’);
}
in my controller the create action is :
respond_to do |format|
if @request.save
flash[:notice] = 'Request was successfully created.'
format.html { redirect_to requests_url }
format.xml { render :xml => @request, :status => :created,
:location => @request }
format.json { render :json => {:result => ‘success’, :redirect
=> requests_url } }
format.js
else
…
once the request is saved, … I get in the log
Completed in 563ms (View: 1, DB: 5) | 200 OK [http://localhost/requests]
I should have
200 OK [http://localhost:3000/requests]
Maybe you’re not requesting it properly, making sure that you call the
format.json part? It seems it redirects to requests_url in format.html.

Just to clarify: A proper json request is to call /path.json or call
/path
(with or without .json) with an “Accept: application/json” header.

yes… after some tests, I rewrote the original format.json line (from
the plugin uploadify_rails) as :
format.json { render :json => { :result => 'success', :request
=> member_request_url(@request[:id]) } }
this redirects to :show (don’t misunderstand it , ‘request’ is my
model instance…)
and I just modified the :show action as following :
respond_to do |format|
…
format.js {
render :update do |page|
page.redirect_to member_requests_url
end
}
end
this time, the redirection is fine… which is enough for my test,
I’ll try to investigate a little bit more to understand why:
format.json { render :json => { :result => 'success', :request
=> member_request_url(@request[:id]) } }
redirects to :show with a format .js
I thought I could write a :callback => ‘index’, no change… it’s always
redirected to :show…
OR is it an issue in using :request =>
maybe this is a parameter used by the render.json …
thanks a lot for your help
Again: Make sure that format.json is in fact called. Maybe try removing
format.html to make sure that the redirect isn’t done there.
