[symfony-users] Re: How to return response slots content as JSON data ?

Åukasz,

I use ajax on an "inverse logic" where the php tells the js what to do on each response, using a type of RPC or RMI. When I call PHP I have a class that forges a response like:

{"commands":[

  {"controller":"auth",
   "action":"displayMainMenu"
,   "params":{
     "menuItems":[{"href":"_javascript_:;","onClick":"mainMenu.callShowProjects();","title":"Projects"

},{"href":"_javascript_:;","onClick":"mainMenu.callShowCategories();","title":"Categories"},{"href":"_javascript_
:;","onClick":"mainMenu.callShowAllTests();","title":"Tests"},{"href":"_javascript_:;","onClick":"auth

.callLogout();","title":"Logout"}]
   }
  }
,  {"controller":"UtilC",
   "action":"showFeedback"
,   "params":{
     "message":"Project Selected"

   }
  }
]}
As you can see this response is processed by js that calls the methods I need. This response has 2 commands and so can fill 2 "slots" os areas on the html. Then I use a js template system (http://embeddedjs.com/) to render the received json in html. 

This works very fine here. You might send html intho the response either if you need to. I would keep an action for each diferent type of request to keep organization and use sf security system, but the template can be pre loaded and keeped into a js var.

Hi all

I have very basic site which just works.
There are 4 different sections that can change when a link is clicked.
All of them are wrapped in slots.

Now I'm trying to add some JS/AJAX stuff (unobtrusive way of course).

I'm changing all links with JS so they initiate ajax call to the same
URL as original href attribute.

Now I would like to handle that ajax call so it will return content of
every slot packed as JSON data.
I could create coresponding action/template for every link on my site
but this would be ugly :)
On the other side - I'm sure that using flexibility of symfony this
can be done "the right way".

I'm suppose that this needs custom sfWebResponse, sfRenderingFilter
and sfView classes but I'm not sure - that is the reason why I wrote
this post.

I need only a general description of solution, then I think I will be
able to implement it.


Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for my creepy English
