POCakephp: Ajax-request goes to the action it's called from when another url is specified
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm sorry for the unpresice title, but I'm having trouble describing my problem without showing some code.</p> <p>I have an action - edit_one - which is defined in routes.php like this:</p> <pre><code>Router::connect('/edit_one/:ad_id', array('controller' => 'ads', 'action' => 'edit_one')); </code></pre> <p>As you can see it takes a parameter - ad_id.</p> <p>I have an jQuery-ajax function in the edit_one view, like this:</p> <pre><code>$.ajax({ url: "delete_from_facebook", type: "POST", data: data, success: function (res) { console.log(res); } }); </code></pre> <p>The url 'delete_from_facebook' is defined in routes.php like this:</p> <pre><code>Router::connect('/delete_from_facebook', array('controller' => 'ads', 'action' => 'deleteFromFacebook')); </code></pre> <p>The deleteFromFacebook function in the Controller:</p> <pre><code>public function deleteFromFacebook() { $this->autorender = false; try { $this->log($this->request->data, 'debug'); $response = $this->fb_handler->deletePhotoFromFacebook($this->fb, $this->request->data['id']); $this->log($response, 'debug'); return new CakeResponse(array('body' => json_encode($response))); } catch (FacebookApiException $fbe) { $this->showFacebookAPIException($fbe); } catch (Exception $e) { $msg = __('An error has occured while uploading images. Please try again.'); $this->showException($e, $msg); } } </code></pre> <p>My problem is that the ajax-request will always post to the edit_one action, IF the url is relative. If the url provided is absolute it will post to deleteFromFacebook function. </p> <p>I know the reason for this. It's because the edit_one action takes a parameter. I've tried it without, then the ajax-request goes to the right place. I'm using the same ajax-request from the view to make an ad, which is defined in the routes.php like this:</p> <pre><code>Router::connect('/add', array('controller' => 'ads', 'action' => 'add')); </code></pre> <p>As you can see from the routes, add.ctp and edit_one.ctp is in same folder. A relative path should work just as well from both.</p> <p>I must have the parameter and I have to use a relative path. What can I do to get the ajax-request to post to the right place?</p>
