updating J1.5 to J2.5 mootools json requests now expectng a view?

[Techbot]

Hi All,

I'm attempting to update my J1.5 component to 2.5.

there are numerous json requests similar to the following

<script type='text/javascript'>

function get_players(){
 
  var a = new Request.JSON({
  url: "index.php?option=com_battle&format=raw&task=action&action=heartbeat",
  onSuccess: function(result){

              // do nothing for the moment
               }
  }
  }).get();
 
  } // end get players
</script>

In my controller I have

function action(){
   
         $result='hello';

    echo Json_encode($result);
   
}

This worked fine in J1.5 but in J2.5 I get

View not found [name, type, prefix]: single, raw, battleView

I do not want to use a view, I have numerous little calls and views are not necessary. Any suggestions?


thanks

Rob

Hi

Can I get a confirmation that the code above should work.

the alternative is that I create the view that it seems to be looking for by default. But if I do that any other json call will also default to this view and I get one response regardless of task in url.

As usual when I got stuck, I've been stuck for two days. :-)

Hi there,

I think it must have been some kind of mistake because I do not know what are you talking about what so ever,but sounds important so Just to let you know you have the wrong person here.

Good luck with your issue.

Hi Sam,

I'm guessing by your response that the code above or some thing similar should work and that a view is not mandatory at this stage.

I've tried all the variations including but not limited to

• tmpl=component
• format= raw/json    //  results in requiring a view.json.php or view.raw.php
  
• rewriting the javascript to match this
  

var req = new Request({
      method: 'get',
      url: $('index.php?option=com_battle&task=action&action=heartbeat&format=json').get('href'),
      data: { 'do' : '1' },
      onRequest: function() { alert('Request made. Please wait...'); },
      onComplete: function(response) { alert('Response: ' + response); }
    }).send();

I tried this because of the warning on docs:  This article applies to Joomla! 1.5 only as Joomla! 1.6 ships with a later version of MooTools which has a different way of handling Ajax requests.

• create sub json controllers like here :http://docs.joomla.org/Xml-rpc
  

thanks

I just created a very quick sample app using code grabbed from here:
http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_(MVC)_Component_for_Joomla!1.7_-_Part_02

index.php?option=com_test&format=json&task=action

Appears to work fine and code attached.
