Re: [fw-mvc] Implementation question

Hi Jigal,

You could avoid having to write a view script by adding the following to
the action that updates the status (this disables the rendering of a
view script through the viewRenderer action helper):

$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);

and - if you use layouts as well (disables the layout through the layout
action helper):

$this->_helper->Layout->disableLayout(true);

I usually name my actions something like "updateAjaxAction()" and call
them with the url "/admin/update.ajax". You could also check out the
ContextSwitch action-helper for (a LOT) more documentation on having
your content available in multiple formats/contexts. This would save you
from manually calling disableLayout(), and have your actions work either
with or without being called by XmlHttpRequest calls.

Kind regards,
