&event=ajax&format=raw

Hello Max,

one of my challenging tasks at the moment is "migrate" all my old forms written with CF4 to CF5.

In one of my forms I have noticed a substancal difference:

when I create a custom event (say I call it "ajax") and I try to recall it from another form to output ajax formatted data, when I use a call &event=ajax&format=raw in a form written in CFv4 I get a raw formatted json object as expected.

[code]
{"data":[{"cf_id":"12","cf_uid":"2ba35fc1c07e7900c…
[/code]

When the custom event (called ajax) is written in CFv5 and it is call it from another form I receive a bad formatted jason raw data since there is the DOM <div class="gbs3">....</div> surrounding the data object.

[code]
<div class="gbs3">
{"data":[{"cf_id":"12","cf_uid":"2ba35fc1c07e7900c…
</div>
[/code]

Is there any particular reason for this or it is a bug?

For me it is not a real issue since I can still use CFv4 form to make things work, but I guess this needs to be sorted out.

Regards.

Marco

Hi Marco,

Please try adding this at the end of the Ajax event code

// . . . last ajax line here
$form->stop = true;
return false;
?>

The $form->stop= true; line should stop any further processing and block the extra div.

Hi Bob,

I did try your code but still the following output:

[code] <div class="gbs3">
{"data":[{"cf_id":"12","cf_uid":"2ba35fc1c07e7900c…
</div>[/code]

&event=ajax&tvout=ajax

Yes this answers my question.

Many thanks to Bob and you.
