I am very new to cs cart. I have read their documentation about calling Ajax with form micrformats. I am able to create a Ajax request. But I would like to call a controller inside my add-on controllers/frondend/ directory names as mycheckout.php. I am using the a hidden file dispatch with the valu mycheckout.mymode. Can any one help me. I actually want to perform some action in my controller. But their documentation did not help me. Thanks in advance.
You can do something like this (use extra "cm-ajax-force" or "cm-ajax-full-render" classes if needed):
<form class="cm-ajax" name="your_name" action="{""|fn_url}" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="result_ids" value="div_id_to_be_updated" />
{include file="buttons/go.tpl" but_name="mycheckout.mymode" alt=__("Ajax button")}
</form>
Or you can use any button you want (even <input type="submit" name="mychechkout.mymode" value="Ajax!">)
Note that the Ajax request can be also done via simple link:
<a class="cm-ajax cm-post" href="{"mycheckout.mymode?param1=value1¶m2=value2"|fn_url}" data-ca-target-id="div_id_to_be_updated">Ajax!</a>

I need to create a form that by clicking on it will redirect to another website with special 'inputs' tags values.
something like:
<form action="http://example.com" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="val1" value="something">
<input type="hidden" name="val2" value="else">
<input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go">
</form>
The custom HTML feature that I find will put it inside an iframe, and it looks bad. Is there a way to do it that will look 'normal'?
If you utilize Wix Code you can develop that inside your Wix page without the need of any html forms.
Simple solution:
- Add the form input elements you need on your page
- Add a button to click on
- Add av event handler to the button and grab the values from the input fields
- Send that data to any site or redirect the user to the site you want using wixLocation.to("url") with the query parameters you might need from the form.
please tell me where the actions in a joomla 2.5 controller written. in joomla 1.5 i remember we use to write the actions like add, edit, remove, cancel etc in the only controller. but i am puzzled in joomla 2.5 because i find three controller even for helloworld component. and i also don't find the functions for actions defined in the controller. i saw only display function in the main controller.
then i also wanna know how each JToolbar button is mapped to an action in the controller.
First of all those methods are not shows in the controller that means its in library section.
For your requirement you can create new or same methods in any of the controller If you use same methods like save(), delete() cancel() etc its will override the Joomla's default functions.
In your toolbar section you can have mention the function name as well.
JToolBarHelper::title('Yor custom component', 'head vmicon48'); //set title
JToolBarHelper::apply('saveConfig'); //when the apply button click its will call the saveConfig function the controller.
JToolBarHelper::cancel();
For some toolbar button argument order may different you can find here.
Also if you have more than one controller from your form you can mention the controller like as follows.
<input type="hidden" name="option" value="com_helloworld" />
<input type="hidden" name="view" value="yourview" />
<input type="hidden" name="task" value="my_controller_fun" />
<input type="hidden" value="your_controller_file_name" name="controller">
Hope you will get some idea !
I have an issue with my portlet and I don't know exactly how to solve it.
My portlet adds or retrieves info from liferay's DB by inserting a name in 2 text fields.
After pressing the submit button, I see the response from the server, a JSON response like this:
{"id":301,"name":"Pepo"}
If a user correctly inserted or if the search throws a good result. I have to go back in the browser to see the portal again.
How can I use AJAX to pass the following URL dynamically from the portlet to the server without refreshing the page afterwards?
http://localhost:8080/c/portal/json_service?serviceClassName=com.liferay.test.service.TrabajadorServiceUtil&serviceMethodName=findByName&servletContextName=TrabajadorPlugin-portlet&serviceParameters=[param1]¶m1=NameInsertedByUser
Now I'm using the <form> tag like this:
<%
//Shows "New Employee" in the text field when portlet is rendered, or gets the user input and pass it as a param to the URL
PortletPreferences prefs = renderRequest.getPreferences();
String employee = (String)prefs.getValue("name", "New Employee");
%>
<form id="postForm" method="post" action="http://localhost:8080/c/portal/json_service">
<input name="serviceClassName" type="hidden" value="com.liferay.test.service.TrabajadorServiceUtil" />
<input name="serviceMethodName" type="hidden" value="create" />
<input name="servletContextName" type="hidden" value="TrabajadorPlugin-portlet" />
<input name="serviceParameters" type="hidden" value="[param]" />
<input name="param" type="text" value="<%=employee%>" />
<input type="submit" value="Submit"/>
</form>
I understand how AJAX works, but I need some help to create my function in order to achieve the URL to be correctly sent to the server for both GET and POST requests. This is my first try with AJAX.
Thank you very much, hope somebody understands my problem and could help me.
First of all, I see no point at all to use JSON services here. Just write ordinary portlet with MVC Controller, and in controller write action handling for corresponding actions (storing data, searching etc).
In controller you can directly call static methods like create or findByName from java class com.liferay.test.service.TrabajadorServiceUtil (or TrabajadorLocalServiceUtil) - that's how people usually do it.
If for some reason you really must use JSON, you should of course do these actions with AJAX calls - and render results using JavaScript.
Updating after question update:
The easiest and most correct way to send AJAX requests in Liferay would be to use AlloyUI JS framework that's a part of Liferay. You can read more on how to send AJAX requests with it here: http://www.liferay.com/web/nathan.cavanaugh/blog/-/blogs/4733559
In order to accomplish your goal I'd suggest implementing processAction(ActionRequest actRequest, ActionResponse actResponse) method in your controller/portlet.
In order to actually send data to it you'll have to have actionURL, which you can create using for example portlet:actionURL tag:
<portlet:actionURL /> or with Java code PortletURL actionUrl = portletResponse.createActionURL();
Then just submit your form using POST to this URL, and in actionRequest you'll have your parameters.
<FORM NAME="form1" METHOD="POST" action="some.jsp">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="first" VALUE="First">
<INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="second" VALUE="Second">
</FORM>
When the form is submitted in the background a POST method is sent to that jsp page with the parameters.
What I am trying to do is that I have an ajax call to a local mediator jsp page which should then take those parameters and post to a page on another domain (this is for me to circumvent the cross-domain problem with ajax calls in IE8).
How would I do an explicit post? Something that takes a URL and the parameters?
If all you are having issue with is posting the form, it is as simple as
document.forms['form1'].submit()
EDIT: In that case, see Using java.net.URLConnection to fire and handle HTTP requests for how to make a POST or GET request. I would recommend using request.getParameterMap() and iterating over that, dropping those parameters into the new outbound request.

This seems simple enough but there are complications...
I have a facebook FBML static page where I want users to sign up to my magento newsletter.
I think I'm right in saying typically you can put the form code as below into the fbml page and on submit it will add the user to the newsletter;
<form action="http://my-site.com/newsletter/subscriber/new/" method="post" id="newsletter-validate-detail">
<fieldset class="block-content">
<legend>Newsletter</legend>
<label id="newsletter-label" for="newsletter" class="left">Join our mailing list</label>
<div class="input-box left">
<input name="email" type="text" id="newsletter" class="input-text required-entry validate-email" />
</div>
<button id="newsletter-submit" type="submit" class="button btn-submit"><span>Join</span></button>
</fieldset>
</form>
But of course at my site I have an ajax function that returns a thanks for registering, so when this submit is sent from fb, this just lands me at a confirmation message on my domain that is supposed to feed through java and say thanks very much for signing up.
So what I need is some way of posting the action, but keeping the user on facebook, or at least leaving them at some other landing page after the action.
Something that posts but doesn't redirect, or something that posts then redirects to something other than the url in the form action?
Not sure if I need ajax for this or if js is even allowed within the fb environment, could I use any of their proprietary FBML to achieve this?
Many thanks
Could you add onSubmit="handleData(); return false;" to your form so it doesn't submit? and use the handleData() function to proccess the data in whatever way you need? This will keep the user from moving off the current page.
