ilNotturno

Hi guys,
I have a simple question: I create a scaffold, but I want to add some data with AJAX.
I work with json, so to do some test I modifies the controller to extend Controller_Rest, like this:

class Controller_Links extends Controller_Rest {
 public function post_add()
 {
  // Some code ...
  $this->response(array('result' => $response->result, 'message' => $response->message));
 }
}

Now I have a problem, because I need a "index" action to print list of data in DB. Usually I do did with a controller that extends Controller_Template, but how can I combine this two different type of action? Have I to create a second controller? Thank you!

$this->auto_render = false;

It doesn't work... I did that:
1) create a controller that extends Controller_Template.
2) rename the "post_add" action to "action_add" (so I can access it)
3) add that line before end of function
4) add a response But it doesn't work... Do you have a simple example of it?

I should have been more specific: with that statement you disable the template for the Controller_Template, you still won't have the response function as that's part of the Controller_Rest. You can convert output to the correct format using the Format class though (this is meant for use in a Controller_Template):

class Controller_Links extends Controller_Template {
    public function action_add()
    {
         // Disable the template
         $this->auto_render = false;

         // Some code ...

         // And output
         $this->request->body = Format::factory(array('result' => $response->result, 'message' => $response->message))->to_json();
    }
}

Hi Jelmer,
I tried the code you posted yesterday, but it doesn't work. I was able to invoke the right controlle and the right methos, but the ouput is empty and the ajax function doesn't work... You can see my code here: http://scrp.at/ahR This code is about a simple web app to collapse link, link bit.ly. Just to test FuelPHP

. Thank you!
EDIT: ok, now it works: I modifies you code from "$this->request->body" to "$this->response->body"
