Ajax to module returns 404

[kendo101]

Hello,

I am trying to understand the structure for a module. Currently I have my module installed and displaying on the front end as expected and I am trying to AJAX the module to return information.

 

My module files looks like:

mydomain.com/modules/mymodule/mymodule.php (basic install, uninstall, hook)

mydomain.com/modules/mymodule/view/template/hook/mymodule.tpl (displays some js and a button)

mydomain.com/modules/mymodule/controller/front/ajax-call.php (echos a test string)

 

My javascript is:

<script type="text/javascript">
function testfunc(){
        $.ajax({
			url: '{$base_dir}modules/mymodule/ajax-call.php',
			type: 'get',
			data: 'ajax=true',
			success: function(data) {
					console.log('success');
					// OTHER SUCCESS COMMAND - CHECK THE RETURN VALUE
			}
		});
    return false;
}

$(document).ready(function(){
	$("#testbtn").click(function(){
		testfunc();
	});
});
</script>

But it runs into a 404 response when the button is clicked.

 

I've also tried moving the ajax-call.php into the root of the module as the path would suggest but that also returns 404 so I am not sure why it is not hitting the page. Can anyone help?

Hi, you shoud change {$base_dir}modules/mymodule/ajax-call.php by {$base_dir}modules/mymodule/controller/front/ajax-call.php in the url parameter

I have already tried that, I cannot reach anything with my module folder:

 

GET http://www.mydomain.info/modules/mymodule/controller/front/ajax-call.php?ajax=true/ 404 (Not Found) <- file DOES exist at that path

GET http://www.mydomain.info/modules/mymodule/ajax-call.php?ajax=true/ 404 (Not Found) <- file DOES exist at that path

 

My route to modules in Preferences -> SEO is the default: module/{module}{/:controller}

Hi,

In which file you added your script ?

If it is in the php file, {$base_dir} is not good.

If it is in tpl, verify {$base_dir}
