This framework separates your normal controllers from your ajax controllers (don't you think it is a mess to have them all in the same place?.

https://sourceforge.net/

[eluser]Ajaxboy[/eluser]
Using Jquery:

Code:

$.get("ajax.php?sample/test/test1/test2/test3", function(response){

  alert(response);
  });

application/response/sample.php

Code:

class Sample extends CI_Controller {

function test($a,$b,$c)
{
  
  echo "$a $b, $c";
  //prints test1 test2, test3
}

}

Now you can use jquery to make ajax request, and make FULL use of the API without the need of any (framework) JavaScript in the fron-end, just include the Js library in the head of the page (cjax/core/js/cjax.min.js). It makes automatic use of complete() ajax function on jquery. It does not require jquery to fully operate, it is just a helper in case you do use jquery.

And what if I do not want to use query strings?

I use Xajax and I can pass the data anyway I want like CodeIgniters urls...

I have converted Xajax v0.6b to CodeIgniter and also wrote the Xajax new pagination library using CodeIgniters.

[eluser]Ajaxboy[/eluser]
Glad that you were able to create a pagination library, sounds nice.

You can still use query string after the url.

What I am referring to is the "callbacks" that are triggered with the response of the ajax request. Cjax generates xml commands that are passed on the response text and triggers action from the backend. As such:

Code:

$ajax->overlayContent("Show An overlay in the screen!");

You can make ajax requests with much anything, but to be clear, the integration with jquery is that it picks the response automatically without any extra steps, but you don't need jquery, but being the case that it is very popular it was integrated into to remove extra steps and make the framework easier and more friendly to use.

This is what you need to put to process back-end response, using anything else to make request:

Code:

CJAX.process_all(response);

What this means is, - a step closer to create dynamic functionality without writing much code.

Cjax is intended to be a "generic" lightweight ajax framework, with generic utils. Though Specific libraries sound nice.

You can also pass nice url with this framework, such as ajax.php?controller/function/arg1/arg2 etc.

By no means I have tested friendly urls with CI. I have not touched that section in a while, so no guarantees.

New Release

Download:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/cjax/files/CodeIgnater/

Changes:

Full support for friendly URLS.

You may access your controllers in any of the following ways:

Code:

ajax.php?controller=test&function=test&a=arg1&b=arg2

ajax.php?test/test/arg1/arg2

ajax.php/test/test/arg1/arg2

ajax/test/test/arg1/arg2

and so on.

to use the last url, you will need to use the included htaccess.txt file and rename it into .htaccess.

Although there is no need, If you want to use a query string outside of the parameters, use:

ajax.php?controller=test&function=test&a=arg1&b=arg2&query_string=anything&query2=something

You should be able to pass any query string within the parameters (arg1/arg2/arg3/arg4, etc. or a,b,c,d,e,f etc)
Eg.

Code:

ajax.php?test/test/query1/something/someID/xyz/query5

access these query strings:

application/response/test.php

Code:

class controller_test extends CI_Controller {
    function test($query1,$query2,$query3,$query4,$query5)
    {
       echo $query1;
       echo "<br />";
       echo $query2;
       echo "<br />"
       echo $query3;
       echo "<br />"
       echo $query4;
       echo "<br />"
       echo $query5;
       echo "<br />"
    }

}

I looked through the new code.

You need to go through all of your code and replace ereg with preg !
