I managed to connect to a JSON server using ajax and the sapphire Restful server api, but I am not able to display the dynamic data using a template file as my module code is not able to find the template file.Upon a ?debug_request=1. the code stops execution here
Latest request params: array (
'Action' => 'display',
'ID' => '8298574',
'OtherID' => NULL,
)

and if I use the $this->renderWith('displaypage'); or return $this->renderWith(array('displaypage','Page')); on my dataobject it goes for an infinite loop.

template code in file is
<% if display %>
<h3>$objectType<h3>
<% end_if %>

Is there anyway that my controller can default to handle request as the above and display the template both on AJAX and without.....?

Any thoughts will be helpful

Cheers.

I do see an infinite loop coming up - if I get you right, that is. Looks like your url is something like

/yourpage/display/8298574/

This means action 'display' will trigger the display() method on your page. This method then starts to render you page using your template. In your template, the <% if display %> again triggers your display() method that then starts to render your page using the template, and... Loop accomplished!

So if this is the situation, you could try and remove <% if display %> If something really does need checking, you could create some CheckFirst() method in your page controller and use <% if CheckFirst %>

Hope this makes some sense :-)

Hi Martimiz,

Thanks for the great help....It could be an infinite loop but I dont know which template is being assigned to my controller basically...
basically my url is something like this:

displaymanager/display/display/8298575

where displaymanager is my module I am developing... and the page I am using is
display and the action is also display and the ID is 8298575 via an ajax call
'Action' => 'display',
'ID' => '8298575',
'OtherID' => NULL,

Is this because I cannot use a page name as display and the method as the same "display"
