webskins using ajax - how to pass in data

[AJ Mercer]

I have the following code
<skin:view typename="pslClient"  template="displayBodyASXNews" bAjax="false" stProperties="#stObj#"  />
that populates the stParam struct with stProperties

But where I set bAjax to TRUE it does not get passed in
Which is most likely fair enough can the browser is calling the webskin directly

So, how do you go about passing data to an ajax webskin?

In this instance, it is within a rule execute.cfm

You can't. bAjax is just a shortcut for a very simple case. If you want to do something more complex you really need to do it yourself.

Hi Blair,

Here is some hacked code out of fourq.cfc (5.2.something not necessarily current)
that appends stParam attributes to the URL passed to ajax function
(search for AJM for hacks)

Which is most likely fair enough can the browser is calling the webskin directly

So, how do you go about passing data to an ajax webskin?

In this instance, it is within a rule execute.cfm

Could work. Add a ticket. We'll have to get Matt (the mastermind behind this feature) to have a look at it.

You can't. bAjax is just a shortcut for a very simple case. If you want to do something more complex you really need to do it yourself.

I have the following code
<skin:view typename="pslClient"  template="displayBodyASXNews" bAjax="false" stProperties="#stObj#"  />
that populates the stParam struct with stProperties

But where I set bAjax to TRUE it does not get passed in
Which is most likely fair enough can the browser is calling the webskin directly

So, how do you go about passing data to an ajax webskin?

In this instance, it is within a rule execute.cfm

Is anyone using AJAX webskins?
Please vote for this is you think it will be useful.

2009/10/21 Blair McKenzie <shib71@...>

Could work. Add a ticket. We'll have to get Matt (the mastermind behind this feature) to have a look at it.

Hi Blair,

Here is some hacked code out of fourq.cfc (5.2.something not necessarily current)
that appends stParam attributes to the URL passed to ajax function

You can't. bAjax is just a shortcut for a very simple case. If you want to do something more complex you really need to do it yourself.

I have the following code
<skin:view typename="pslClient"  template="displayBodyASXNews" bAjax="false" stProperties="#stObj#"  />
that populates the stParam struct with stProperties

But where I set bAjax to TRUE it does not get passed in
Which is most likely fair enough can the browser is calling the webskin directly

So, how do you go about passing data to an ajax webskin?

In this instance, it is within a rule execute.cfm

track for beginners if using ajax webskins within a contailer that has multiple rules - make sure you defined a unique ajaxID yourself
otherwise all you will see is the rulsults from the last rule.


<skin:view typename="ruleHomeResearch" template="displayBodyHomeResearch" stParam="#stParam#" bAjax="true" ajaxShowloadIndicator="true" ajaxindicatorText="Loading..." ajaxID="homeResearch#Replace(stObj.category, ' ', '', 'ALL')#" />

Is anyone using AJAX webskins?
Please vote for this is you think it will be useful.

2009/10/21 Blair McKenzie <shib71@...>

Could work. Add a ticket. We'll have to get Matt (the mastermind behind this feature) to have a look at it.

Hi Blair,

Here is some hacked code out of fourq.cfc (5.2.something not necessarily current)
that appends stParam attributes to the URL passed to ajax function
(search for AJM for hacks)
