This is a follow-up to AJAX Call Does Not Trigger Action Method When Decorated With CanvasAuthorize
So I found the following links and it seems that this is a common problem:
http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com/discussions/251878
http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com/discussions/250820
I tried to follow the advice by prabir but I couldn't get it to work...
Here's my setup:
I have the following snippet in the page where the button that triggers the whole post to facebook is located:
#if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.Params["signed_request"]))
{
<input type="hidden" id="signedReq" value="#Request.Params["signed_request"]" />
}
And then I have this snippet (inside a script tag inside the same page):
var signedRequest = $('#signedReq').val();
$('.facebookIcon').click(function () {
var thisItem = $(this).parent().parent();
var msg = thisItem.find('.compItemDescription').text();
var title = thisItem.find('.compareItemTitle').text();
var itemLink = thisItem.find('.compareItemTitle').attr('href');
var img = thisItem.find('img').first().attr('src');
postOnFacebook(msg, itemLink, img, title, signedRequest);
});
And finally, inside an external js file I have the following function:
/*Facebook post item to wall*/
function postOnFacebook(msg, itemLink, pic, itemTitle, signedReq) {
console.log(signedReq);
var siteUrl = 'http://www.localhost:2732';
$.ajax({
url: '/Facebook/PostItem',
data: {
'message': msg,
'link': siteUrl + itemLink,
'picture': siteUrl + pic,
'name' : itemTitle,
'signed_request': signedReq
},
type: 'get',
success: function(data) {
if(data.result == "success") {
alert("item was posted on facebook");
}
}
});
}
But signedReq is always undefined. And I'm not really sure I should be passing the 'signed_request' field inside the data object. Any thoughts?
Make sure you hidden input field is being populated.
Also, when you try to pull the ID of the input field via JQuery, you might not be referencing the proper element since .NET butcher's ID's of anything that's run on the server.
When I use the hidden input field trick, I set the jquery value like so:
var signedRequest = $('#<%=signedReq.ClientID %>').val();
This way, I'm getting the identifier that .NET is giving to the HTML element.
Hope that helps.
Just a guess - in your hidden field: id="signed_request" instead of id="signedReq"

I'm trying to pass a href-attribute to a content I'd like to load with AJAX, but I'm not able to find the right solution for this.

I know how to pass a simple value ...
var data = { id: 123 };
$('.container').load( 'content.php', data );
But how can I pass a variable?
var href = $(this).attr('href');
$('.container').load( 'content.php', ???????????? );
If I understand you well you want to do this:
var href = $(this).attr('href');
$('.container').load( 'content.php', { href:href });
I'm struggling with the render() method in Laravel 5.
When $whatever->render() is runned, it takes the controller method name as the route by default.
Example:
When i run this command in DelasController#updateFilter, the pagination route is set to whatever.com/marketplace/updateFiler?page=2, which does not make a sense to me.
Problem:
I want to keep the route as simple as whatever.com/marketplace?page=2.
Question:
Can anybody gives me a hint on how to solve this?
Thank you for your time and a discussion.
Looking forward for a reply.
I have an application in which various paginated lists are displayed in "windows" on the page and are updated via AJAX calls to the server. Here's how I did it:
Set up a route to render the whole page, something like this:
Route::get('/marketplace', function ($arguments) {
....
});
Set up a route which will return the current page of the list. For example, it might be something like this:
Route::get('/marketplace/updateFiler', function ($arguments) {
....
});
In your Javascript code for the page, you need to change the pagination links so that, instead of loading the new page with the URL for the link, it makes the AJAX request to the second route. The Javascript could look something like this:
$('ul.pagination a').on('click', function (event) {
// stop the default action
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();
// get the URL from the link
var url = $(event.currentTarget).attr('href');
// get the page number from the URL
var page = getURLParameterByName(url, 'page');
$.get('marketplace/updateFiler', { page: page }, function (data){
// do something with the response from the server
});
});
The getURLParameterByName function is simply a helper that extracts the named parameter from a URL:
var getURLParameterByName = function (url, name, defaultValue) {
// is defaultValue undefined? if so, set it to false
//
if (typeof defaultValue === "undefined") {
defaultValue = false;
}
name = name.replace(/[\[]/, "\\[").replace(/[\]]/, "\\]");
var regex = new RegExp("[\\?&]" + name + "=([^&#]*)"),
results = regex.exec(url);
return results === null ?
defaultValue :
decodeURIComponent(results[1].replace(/\+/g, " "));
};
I adapted this code from an answer I found here on Stack Overflow: https://stackoverflow.com/a/901144/2008384.
The expectation is that $(".post-title").append(postTitle); will return the title of that post, as will postBody. Yet when I console.log these variables > undefined is returned.
$.ajax({
url: "http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/ohc-gallery.tumblr.com/posts?api_key=***",
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function(res){
var postings = res.response.posts;
var postTitle = "";
var postBody = "";
$(".post-title").append(postTitle);
$(".post-body").append(postBody);
for (var i in postings){
postTitle = postings[i].title;
postBody = postings[i].body;
}
console.log("postBody: " + postBody);
}
});
Am I missing something basic regarding Javascript closures... I really don't know right now. I simply want to loop through created post data for later display.
Github JS code- https://github.com/mrcn/ohc/blob/master/js/tumblr.js
Github HTML code- https://github.com/mrcn/ohc/blob/master/index-posting.html#L82-L89
I got it. The problem was with how I intended to display this information on the website, and I had to alter the code accordingly. The idea was to display paired blog post titles and entries. The problem was all titles were appearing together, and all bodies were appearing together- not paired off respectively.
The updated code is more along the lines of --
Javascript --
//use $.each() or Array.forEach
$.each(postings, function (i, post) {
$(".post ").append("<h3>" + post.title + "</h3>" + post.body + "<br><br>");
});
}
});
HTML --
<div class="post-wrap"><!--post-wrap-->
<div class="post">
</div>
</div><!--post-wrap-->
The for..in is used to iterate over an object... posts is an array for you can use the normal for (var i=0;i<x;i++) loop or any other iteration methods like $.each() or Array.forEach()
$.ajax({
url: 'http://api.tumblr.com/v2/blog/ohc-gallery.tumblr.com/posts?api_key=***',
dataType: 'jsonp',
success: function (res) {
var postings = res.response.posts;
var postTitle = '';
var postBody = '';
//use $.each() or Array.forEach
$.each(postings, function (i, post) {
$(".post-title ").append(post.title);
$(".post-body ").append(post.body);
})
}
});
Not every post type supports title or body. You currently have three posts, two text and one photo. The photo post type only support photos and caption, which is causing the undefined.

In an ASP.NET MVC3 Application I have a button in the view.
When the button is clicked a function is called and it jquery ajax call is made to save items to the database
function SaveMenuItems() {
var encodeditems = $.toJSON(ids);;
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: '#Url.Action("SaveItems", "Store")',
data: 'items=' + encodeditems + '&storeKey=#Model.StoreID',
complete: function () {
}
}
});
}
What i want is after the items are saved to the database I want to redirect to another view. (Redirect to action)
How can I do that?
I tried to use return RedirectToAction("Stores","Store") in the controller at the end of the SaveItems function. But it is not working
I also tried to add window.location.replace("/Store/Stores"); in the complete function of the ajax call but didn't work either
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks a lot
You can use javascript to redirect to the new page. Set the value of window.location.href to the new url in your ajax call's success/complete event.
var saveUrl = '#Url.Action("SaveItems","Store")';
var newUrl= '#Url.Action("Stores","Store")';
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: saveUrl,
// Some params omitted
success: function(res) {
window.location.href = newUrl;
},
error: function() {
alert('The worst error happened!');
}
});
Or in the done event
$.ajax({
url: someVariableWhichStoresTheValidUrl
}).done(function (r) {
window.location.href = '#Url.Action("Stores","Store")';
});
The above code is using the Url.Action helper method to build the correct relative url to the action method. If your javascript code is inside an external javascript file, you should build the url to the app root and pass that to your script/code inside external js files and use that to build the url to the action methods as explained in this post.
Passing parameters ?
If you want to pass some querystring parameters to the new url, you can use this overload of the Url.Action method which accepts routevalues as well to build the url with the querystring.
var newUrl = '#Url.Action("Stores","Store", new { productId=2, categoryId=5 })';
where 2 and 5 can be replaced with some other real values.
Since this is an html helper method, It will work in your razor view only,not in external js files. If your code is inside external js file, you need to manually build the url querystring parameters.
Generating the new url at server side
It is always a good idea to make use of the mvc helper methods to generate the correct urls to the action method. From your action method, you can return a json strucutre which has a property for the new url to be redirected.
You can use the UrlHelper class inside a controller to do this.
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Step8(CreateUser model)
{
//to do : Save
var urlBuilder = new UrlHelper(Request.RequestContext);
var url = urlBuilder.Action("Stores", "Store");
return Json(new { status = "success", redirectUrl = url });
}
Now in your ajax call's success/done callback, simply check the return value and redirect as needed.
.done(function(result){
if(result.status==="success")
{
window.location.href=result.redirectUrl;
}
else
{
// show the error message to user
}
});
In action you can write this:
if(Request.IsAjaxRequest()) {
return JavaScript("document.location.replace('"+Url.Action("Action", new { ... })+"');"); // (url should be encoded...)
} else {
return RedirectToAction("Action", new { ... });
}
Try
window.location = "/Store/Stores";
Instead.
I am using Ajax and Prototype. In my code, I need to update the contents of a div.
My div:
<div id="update">
1. Content_1
</div>
My code:
Element.update($("update"),"2.Content_2");
Expected output:
<div id="update">
1.Content_1
2.Content_2
</div>
How can I do this in Ajax and Prototype?
AJAX usually means you are executing a script on the server to get this result.
However, in your example it looks like you simply want to append some text.
To append text you could simply add the text to the end of the innerHTML:
$("update").innerHTML = $("update").innerHTML + "2.Content_2";
If you are wanting to execute a server script, I'd do this: (I haven't used Prototype for a while, things might have changed)
function getResult()
{
var url = 'theServerScriptURL.php';
var pars = '';
var myAjax = new Ajax.Request(
url,
{
method: 'post',
parameters: {},
onComplete: showResult
});
}
function showResult(originalRequest)
{
$("update").innerHTML = originalRequest.responseText;
}
This code will call 'theServerScriptURL.php' and display the result in the div with id of 'update'.
