#1539 – error page and ajax

 I am writing a module which submits a form using ajax (using com_ajax)

This works on every page except the error page - there are no php errors or javascript errors, it just does nothing when I press the submit button. I have looked at the source of the page and the module javascript and jquery are both loading on the page.

I have tested this with other templates - same result, but on a vanilla install of joomla without sh404SEF - this works because the modules js is not loaded so it does a normal form submit.

Have you any ideas?

I have spent some time looking at this and see that every time I click the Submit button a 404 error message pops up in the console. I think that because a proper 404 error is generated by sh404SEF - and doesn't seem to be by Joomla, that this is causing the issue and the difference in how it works.
Now I need to find some way to work around this.

$js = <<<JS
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
$('.anythingwrong').click(function (e) {
if($('#action').value != '' && $('#error').value != '')
{
var request = {
'option' : 'com_ajax',
'module' : 'anythingwrong',
'format' : 'raw',
'formd' : $('#anythingwrong').serializeArray()
};
$.ajax({
type : 'POST',
data : request,
success: function (response) {
if(response){
$('#aw').html(response);
}
},
error: function (e){
{$jserror}
}
});
}
e.preventDefault();
});
});
JS;

Note that $jserror is an empty string unless I have debug turned on in the module.

Default is to use the page url since I have not specified this in the request var. I have tried adding various urls to the request but they all give me the same error.

My solution for now is to check the input and work out if I am on an sh404SEF error page and don't output the javascript if that is the case. Then the form sends another normal post request to the error page. This works, my database entry gets written but then the page is logged twice in 404 errors.

I can send the entire module to you if you would like.

Hi, sorry to take so long to get back to you, but Joomla update broke my site images! I have spent quite a while testing various urls for the ajax post request, and I have finally settled on letting the request find its own url to post to unless this is a sh404 error page in which case I specify the root url. Still not sure why when I explicitly set the url to be the same as the page url (using JUri::current() ) for normal pages it is not always reliable, but at least it is working now. Thanks for your help. Regards, Helen On 17/12/2015 16:27, Weeblr wrote: >
