Ajax call on same controller while using front controller to perform some custom action using jquery ajax in prestashop.<\/p>\n
We have seen many times in admin controller when they\u00a0call ajax request to perform some action, they refer the same admin controller in ajax url instead of different controller, so that they\u00a0don’t need to create any other controller to get response and perform any custom action on that.<\/p>\n
Below is the example code where they have used\u00a0same admin controller to\u00a0get the response from the call which triggered to get or perform some action.<\/p>\n
Example of admin controller –<\/p>\n
$.ajax({\r\n\turl : yourAdminController.php\r\n\ttype : 'POST',\r\n\tcache : false,\r\n\tdata : {\r\n\t\tajax : true,\r\n\t\tvariable_1 : var1,\r\n\t\tvariable_2 : var2,\r\n\t\taction : doSomeAction,\r\n\t},\r\n\tsuccess : function (result) {\r\n\t\t\/\/ your action code on result\r\n\t}\r\n});<\/pre>\nAdmin Controller Code<\/h3>\n<?php\r\n\r\n\/**\r\n* 2010-2016 Webkul.\r\n*\r\n* NOTICE OF LICENSE\r\n*\r\n* All right is reserved,\r\n* Please go through this link for complete license : https:\/\/store.webkul.com\/license.html\r\n*\r\n* DISCLAIMER\r\n*\r\n* Do not edit or add to this file if you wish to upgrade this module to newer\r\n* versions in the future.

Here, only different is displayAjax<\/strong> and ajaxProcess<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n- In Admin Controller\u00a0–\u00a0we need to prefix “ajaxProcesss”\u00a0<\/strong>with our action function which we have passed in our ajax call ,\u00a0while getting ajax call.<\/li>\n
- In front controller – we need to prefix “displayAjax”<\/strong>\u00a0with our action function which we have passed in our ajax call, while getting ajax call.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
See the example code for front controller<\/p>\n
jQuery Ajax Call<\/h2>\n$.ajax({\r\n\turl : yourFrontController.php\r\n\ttype : 'POST',\r\n\tcache : false,\r\n\tdata : {\r\n\t\tajax : true,\r\n\t\tvariable_1 : var1,\r\n\t\tvariable_2 : var2,\r\n\t\taction : doSomeAction,\r\n\t},\r\n\tsuccess : function (result) {\r\n\t\t\/\/ your action code on result\r\n\t}\r\n});<\/pre>\nFront Controller Code –<\/p>\n
