Re: [fw-core] AjaxContext and ContextSwitch question

Oddly enough I ran into this problem yesterday as well that I am trying to track down.  I have used AjaxContext/ContextSwitching without a problem in the past so I am not sure what is happening.

The view that is rendered is: update-module-preferences.phtml when it should be update-module-preferences.ajax.phtml.  This was verified through Firebug.  In addition I also tested in the action if the request was an ajax request ($this->_request->isXmlHttpRequest() ? "Yes" : "No";) and the response is yes.

I am using jQuery as my javascript library.

Controller:

[code]

    public function init() {
   
    $this->_logger         = Zend_Registry::get('logger');
    $this->_globalConfig   = Zend_Registry::get('globalConfig');
    $this->_homepageConfig = Zend_Registry::get('hpConfig');
       
        $this->_helper->layout->setLayout('layout-mystjude');
   
        $this->_ajaxContext = $this->_helper->getHelper('AjaxContext');
   
    $this->_ajaxContext->addActionContext('update-module-preferences', 'html');
    $this->_ajaxContext->initContext();
   
    $this->_modulePreferences = new SjcrhModulePreferences();
    $this->_joomlaContent     = new JoomlaContent();
  }


    public function updateModulePreferencesAction() {
   
        if ($this->_request->isPost()) {
           
            $auth          = Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getIdentity();
            $this->_userId = $auth['username'];
   
            $module = $this->view->escape($this->_getParam('mod'));
            $status = $this->view->escape($this->_getParam('status'));
           
            $where  = $this->_modulePreferences->getAdapter()
                                           ->quoteInto('username = ? ', $this->_userId);
   
        $select = $this->_modulePreferences->select()->where($where);
        $row    = $this->_getModulePositions($this->_userId);
       
        $positions = split(",", $row);
       
        foreach ($positions as $k => $position) {
           
            $regex         = "/(".$module.")=(show|hide)/i";
            $replacement   = '${1}='.$status;
            $positions[$k] = preg_replace($regex, $replacement, $positions[$k]);
        }
       
        $data = array('positions' => implode($positions, ","));

        $this->_modulePreferences->update($data, $where);
       
        $userLog = SJCRH_Util::logUserAction($this->_userId, "{$module} Updated");
       
        $this->view->ajax = $this->_request->isXmlHttpRequest() ? "Yes" : "No";

        }
    }

[/code]

Ajax Call

[code]
    $.ajax({
        url: '/home/mystjude/index/update-module-preferences/mod/' + divid + '/status/' + divStatus,
        type: 'POST',
        dataType: 'text',
        error: function(){
          $("#message").html('Error saving preferences');
        },
        success: function(data){
            $("#message").css("background-color", "yellow").html("Preference Saved").show().fadeOut();
        }
    });
[/code]

View Script [update-module-preferences.ajax.phtml is an empty file since all that is done is posting]

I've been using AjaxContext and ContextSwitch without issue. Is it
possible that you're forwarding to another action? That could
potentially re-enable the layout.

Otherwise, can you provide a reproduce case for me to examine?
