I would like to execute specific action rendering something into page
after each of my ajax calls. In example I would like to update some
div or display an alert.
How I imagine it could work is as follows
class ApplicationController < ActionController::Base
after_filter :do_something_after_each_ajax_call
def do_something_after_each_ajax_call
if request.xml_http_request?
render :update do |page|
page << "alert('doing something!');
end
end
end
end
Of course code above will yield with "Can only render or redirect once
per action". How would You approach this problem?
This may seen kind of lame but works as far. If anyone knows better
solution - share it please
module ActionController
class Base
private
def render_for_text_with_flashes(text = nil, status = nil,
append_response = false) #:nodoc:
result = render_for_text_without_flashes(text, status,
append_response)
if response.content_type == Mime::JS
response.body << "$('messages').update('#
{self.instance_variable_get("@template").message_block :flash_types =>
%w(back confirm error info warn notice), :on =>
MODEL_NAMES_FOR_MB}');new Effect.Highlight('messages'); "
end
result
end
