Question

I’m using jquery in Zend Framework, it’s my first trial. I’ve already found out through another question, that I can change the response by changing the context like so:

$ajaxContext = $this->_helper->getHelper('AjaxContext'); $ajaxContext->addActionContext('myaction', 'html'); $ajaxContext->initContext(); 

Now this has helped a lot but a new problem has shown:

My page consists of different responseSegments and when I responde to an Ajax request by changing the Context, my other ResponseSegments also ‘think’ they are sending Ajax but they’re not. The front controller asks for a viewscript.ajax.phtml… which is wrong, it should be viewscript.phtml (exists).

In the meantime I figured out how to solve this and because I think others will encounter the same problem in the future, I will answer my own question here:

In my ActionSetup.php (or bootstrap.php if the action setup is not separated) I needed to make sure that actions are only pushed to the action stack, if the request was no XmlHttpRequest.

The only thing that was missing was an if statement:

if (!$request->isXmlHttpRequest()) 

The whole thing looks like that:

/**  * Front Controller plugin to set up the action stack.  *  */ class Project_Controller_Plugin_ActionSetup extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract {     public function dispatchLoopStartup(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)     {         if (!$request->isXmlHttpRequest())         {             $front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();             if (!$front->hasPlugin('Zend_Controller_Plugin_ActionStack'))             {                 $actionStack = new Zend_Controller_Plugin_ActionStack();                 $front->registerPlugin($actionStack, 97);             } else             {                 $actionStack = $front->getPlugin('Zend_Controller_Plugin_ActionStack');             }              $menuAction = clone ($request);             $menuAction->setActionName('menu')             ->setControllerName('index');             $actionStack->pushStack($menuAction);              $userlogAction = clone ($request);             $userlogAction->setActionName('userlog')             ->setControllerName('index');             $actionStack->pushStack($userlogAction);             //etc.         }     } }
