Question

I have a CListView that uses ajaxLink() in the _view file.

View (index.php)

<?php

Yii::app()->clientScript->registerScript('ajaxUpdate',
"
//javascript function to update the listview using ajax
function updateItemList(){
    $.fn.yiiListView.update('itemList');
    return false;
}

", CClientScript::POS_READY);

?>
<?php $this->widget('zii.widgets.CListView', array(
    'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,
    'itemView'=>'_view',
    'id'=>'itemList',

)); ?>

partial (_view.php)

<?php echo CHtml::ajaxLink('Delete',array('libdbitems/delete','id'=>$data->id),
                array('type'=>'POST','success'=>'function(){updateItemList()}'),
                array('confirm'=>'Are you sure you want to delete this item?',
                    'id'=>'delete-'.$data->id));  ?>

The controller is basically just the default actionIndex() that is generated with Gii.

Here’s the problem: when I click my Delete link the first time after a page load, it behaves as expected. After that, clicking Delete does nothing. (It refreshes the ListView, but no changes are made.)

I’m pretty sure the problem lies in how Yii is binding click() events to my links in javascript, but I have no idea how to fix it. I have tried using the live=true option as others have suggested, but it does nothing.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue so that my Delete link works multiple times without having to reload the page?

Answer 1

Eh, a stupid fix. I realized I had accidentally left a CHtml::$liveEvents = false in my controller that I put there while I was still earlier in the troubleshooting phase.

The solution is just to leave CHtml::$liveEvents = true (default) and to make sure all the links have unique IDs.
