jquery + ajax problems in elgg 1.8
I noticed a problem about jquery + ajax in elgg 1.8.
I'm trying to load using ajax a captcha.
$(document).ready(function(){
$.ajax({
url: "http://urlpetition",
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data){
$('#mathcaptcha').html(data.output.q);
}
});
});
I have two installs of elgg 1.8.1. The first install is a clean 1.8.1 install. The second one is an upgrade from 1.7.X to 1.8.1.
In the first install, I receive with $.ajax this response:
{"output":{"success":true,"q":"14 menos 12"},"status":0,"system_messages":{"error":[],"success":[]}}
In the second install, I receive this:
{"success":true,"q":"5 m\u00e1s 7"}
Where is the problem? I tried to delete views cache, tested jquery versions...
I have other plugins that use jquery and fail too because this.

You must log in to post replies.Try using elgg.ajax instead of $.ajax
in http://urlpetition, do
json_encode($data);
forward(REFERER);
Set what that does
Thank you for your response. I investigated this issue a few more following your advises.
The function that generates the JSON response is a page handler, so the end of this function is:
echo json_encode($json);
If I put after this echo forward(REFERER), I receive in the second install my json encoded object plus a rendered page with an error message (forward after headers sent). In my first install I receive again this type of response:
{"output":{"success":true,"q":"14 menos 12"},"status":0,"system_messages":{"error":[],"success":[]}}But if I put after this echo die(), I just only receive my json encoded object.
I know that this should be implemented in an action instead of a page handler, but I think that could be a bug of upgrading from 1.7.X to 1.8.1.
Make sure your page handler has return true;
