Best way to achieve this..

[Brettski]

Hi,

So I have a products page that has an dynamic div that's updated via
jquery. E.g the user can select a way to view produts (grid, list
etc).

Whats the best way to handle ajaxs update like this? just create a
folder under my views called "ajax" or something like that and call it
from my jquery?

RemotingService.cfc returns json, but in this case I want to update
the entire div, as sometimes it will be flash.

Many thanks,

[Sean Corfield]

So you're returning HTML to replace your div? Then you just want a
regular GET request through your Model-Glue app with a view/layout
that just returns the HTML you need.

ahhh yes I guess that's it..

so I will just return a

app/index.cfm?event=products.ajax

sounds like the way to go..

Thanks :)

Sorry for being short, my plane is boarding...

take a look at http://docs.model-glue.com/wiki/HowTos/Formats#Formats

Formats are a way to conditionally process elements based on a passed parameter. This could help reduce event duplication.

Dan, there is absolutely no documentation at that link. Even your
comment is more verbose than the docs.

It's funny 'cuz it's true :)

I have failed as much as I have succeeded. But I love my life. I love my wife. And I wish you my kind of success.

@Chuck, there has recently been some reorganization of the wiki pages
-- try this link instead:

http://docs.model-glue.com/wiki/HowTos/HowToUseFormats

Sorry for the confusion.

@Brett, That link is this thread.

What I'm looking for is an example of all of this subject. I keep
seeing pieces. Anyone have a simple example they could post, of say a
login.cfm page, that has a login form, that is removed and replaced
with Welcome Bob Smith, without a refresh. Including a mode-glue.xml
snapshot and the files used to return the info?

You can see what I have at searisen.com/mg/ click login, then click
the new login. The page disappears, and I want the referenced page to
update with user info, the login button changing to logout and the
user's account info to appear. I'm sure this is done for every page
that requires authentication. At the very least I could have the main
page refresh (not sure how, since the returning view is inside the
small login window).

@Chuck,

I don't have any ready-made examples of something like that, although
I might be able to whip up a quick demo this weekend, if that would be
helpful (although I must admit that I'm not terribly familiar with
CF's built-in Ajax functionality, so I would use jQuery to do
something like this).

You might want to take a look at this blog post from Ray Camden, as it
presents an approach for solving this exact problem (albeit not in a
Model-Glue context):

Thanks Ezra, I was already surfing Ray's pages for some help but
hadn't found this yet. I am close to a working version. Just need to
find out how to reference the form's fields in the controller....
tomorrow! (or Monday)

The form fields will be available in the event object. This is where ALL input values go, in all circumstances.

The event object, as you know is available to you in your controller and in your views.

Right, I knew that from reading the docs. But event.getValue
('username') was returning an empty string. I created a couple new
functions in this post http://groups.google.com/group/model-glue/browse_frm/thread/f2f8c0b91f6c391a#
that told me that I needed to be using event.getValue('USERNAME') all
caps, and everything works fine now.

Thanks for the help,

Chuck

I'd "plaice" money on that being complete red-herring (sorry!!)

Coldfusion has a tendency to mess with struct key cases, and the output you're seeing in the other thread you linked to above is just an example of that.

CF is not case sensitive when accessing struct members, and neither is Model-Glue's event.getValue() method

The following code will work just fine.

<cfset event.setValue("FOO", "hello")>

<cfoutput>#event.getValue("foo")#</cfoutput>

something else has caused your code to start working.

Cheers, Chris

I would of agreed with you, and still do, that ColdFusion isn't a
case sensitive language. I can't imagine what it was that 'caused' it
to start working, because only the moment I changed from username to
USERNAME did it start working, but to confirm. I just tested it with,
event.SetValue('loginResult', "#event.GetValue('USERNAME')
#,#event.GetValue('username')#"); and both returned the same value.
It boggles the mind, but whatever, it works.
