This extension enhances the Radiant page part handling to...
- render a page part depending on a URL parameter
- render a request without layout on an AJAX request
This is especially useful when developing dynamic sites using unobtrusive JavaScript. Without JavaScript the page will be rendered normally with its layout, without JavaScript only single page part will be loaded without its layout.
The Radiant cache is extended to cache single page parts.
This extension also provides a tag content_requested, that renders only the part of the page that has been requested by the page request parameter. For example if you request a page through http://www.mywebsite.ch/?part=extended, only the part named extended will be rendered.
This extension provides a new page type AjaxPage, whereas the page won't render the associated layout when it is requested by an AJAX request. If no part request parameter is supplied, the first page part is returned. The distinction whether a HTTP request is a normal request or an AJAX request is done by evaluating the X-Requested-With HTTP header. Prototype automatically adds this HTTP header. To achieve the same behavior with JQuery, simple add the following snippet to your JavaScript file:
$(function() {
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: { "X-Requested-With" : "XMLHttpRequest" }
});
});
This extension works together with the multi site extension. Important is that this extension is loaded after the multi site extension.
