I want to create the most basic ajax link there is in Cakephp 2.0.
In index.ctp i have
<?php
echo $this->Js->link('myLink', array('controller'=>'technologies', 'action'=>'view'), array('update'=>'#success'));
?>
<div id="success"></div>
in TechnologiesController.php i have
public function view(){
$this->set('msg', 'message');
$this->render('view', 'ajax');
}
and in view.ctp i have
<?php echo $msg;?>
Instead of setting the view in the success div, it navigates to the http://local.cake.com/technologies/view page to display the message.
Any help much appreciated!
By default scripts are cached, and you must explicitly print out the cache. To do this at the end of each page, include this line just before the ending tag:
echo $this->Js->writeBuffer(); // Write cached scripts
I am using this at the end of my default.ctp in the Layouts Folder
