Question

i want manage result of ajax in phtml file, this is my view code that ajax link is there:

<div id="container"></div><?php echo $this->ajaxLink("Link Name",
                      $this->baseUrl() ."/admin/index/first/format/json",
                      array('update' => '#container',
                            'method' => 'POST')); ?>

this is first action code :

public function firstAction()
{
    if($this->_request->isPost()) {         
        // pretend this is a sophisticated database query
        $data = array('red','green','blue','yellow');
        $jsonData = Zend_Json::encode($data);
        $this->view->data = $jsonData;
    }
}

this is first.phtml code :

<ul><?php foreach ($this->data as $color) : ?><li><?= $color ?></li><?php endforeach; ?></ul>

but there is a prob! result of ajax show like this:

{“data”:”[\”red\”,\”green\”,\”blue\”,\”yellow\”]”}

and it don`t use of first.phtml file!

is there any way fo solve this prob?

answer : i found the answer with Marcin help 😉

public function firstAction()
{
    if($this->_request->isPost()) {         
        // pretend this is a sophisticated database query
        $data = array('red','green','blue','yellow');
        Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->disableLayout(); 
        //$jsonData = Zend_Json::encode($data);
        $this->view->data = $data;
    }
}

and i delete every json parameter form ajaxlink and init method

$ajaxContext = $this->_helper->getHelper('AjaxContext');
    $ajaxContext->addActionContext('first', 'html')
                //->addActionContext('format', 'json')
                ->initContext();

every thing is now correct 🙂
