Ajax call returning HTML?

[Darryl Tharpe]

Hello,

When I make an ajax call in new version of wheels, 1.3.1, to a function named getSearchData it returns HTML, but if I paste the same code in the function which corresponds with the action, like index or edit it works? I have did this hundreds of times in Wheels but trying out the new version, did something change?

It's unclear what you're asking. Can you provide clear, minimal examples with code?

Sure, basically I can name a function in a controller and and pass the URL in the ajax call to it -> url: '/People/index.cfm/BigPeople/getBigPeopleData?&format=json', with getBigPeopleData being the function,  and it would return me the json object. The work around I found was this -> url: '/People/index.cfm/BigPeople/?action=getBigPeopleData&format=json'. So before I didn't have to provide the action in the URL string.

Thanks for your help...

Sorry here is the code....

People.cfc

<cfcomponent extends="People.controllers.Controller">

<cffunction name="init">

<cfscript>

provides("html,json");

</cfscript>

</cffunction>

<cffunction name="index">

</cffunction>

<cffunction name="getSearchData">

<cfscript>

var people = model('People').findAll();

renderWith(people);

</cfscript>

</cffunction>

</cfcomponent>

data.js

var getSearchData = function(type){

switch(type){

case 'people':

var searchData;

$.ajax({

type: 'GET',

url: '/RSPHPeople/index.cfm/people/?action=getSearchData&format=json',

dataType: 'json',

async: false,

success: function(data){

searchData = data;

}

});

return searchData;

break;

}

};

It sounds like something isn't working correctly with your URL rewriting or routing. What does your URL rewriting config and routes.cfm look like?

Sure:

<cfset set(timeStampOnUpdateProperty=false)>

<cfset set(URLRewriting="Partial")>

<cfset addRoute(name="home", pattern="", controller="Main", action="redirect")>

<!--- Faculty --->

<cfset addRoute(name="peopleIndex", pattern="/people/", controller="People", action="index")>

Hmm, I wonder if a bug was introduced in version 1.3.0 or 1.3.1.

[Darryl Tharpe]

Cool, thanks for the help anyways. Ill keep digging and see what I can find. If you find out please let me know, but other than that no problems....

Thanks,

Something doesn't seem right with the routes...

This URL.

/People/index.cfm/BigPeople/getBigPeopleData?&format=json

Is calling something in the "People" folder..

But when you create a route like this:

addRoute(name="peopleIndex", pattern="/people/", controller="People", action="index"

You are pointing it to /index.cfm/people/...

I'm probably not explaining this very well but wanted to at least point out that something seems off to me.
