How to return a single value from a controler afte

I am making an ajax call to a controler from a view like this

jQuery.ajax({
              type: "POST",
              url: "index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;view=participate&amp;task=participate_request&amp;virtuemart_product_id=2&amp;virtuemart_category_id=5&amp;tmpl=component&amp;Itemid=101",
              data: { name: "John", location: "Boston" }
            }).done(function( msg ) {
              alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
        });

and in the controler I have a task method declared like this

public function participate_request(){          
        echo 'test';
        return false;
    }

And I get this response

How can I return only the test value alone?

回答1:

You can use Jexit(),exit() or add &format=raw in url string or use given code in controller function:

$app = &JFactory::getApplication();
$app->close()

回答2:

echo all your output text and just place a die(); after that

回答3:

You just have to add Jexit() at the end of your task & you will get rid of full html. You can use die() as well but why if there is Jexit(). function edit() { // Your code Jexit(); }

回答4:

found it.. in the end of the url string.. you need to attach &format=raw So the request will be

jQuery.ajax({
              type: "POST",
              url: "index.php?option=com_virtuemart&amp;view=participate&amp;task=participate_request&amp;virtuemart_product_id=2&amp;virtuemart_category_id=5&amp;tmpl=component&amp;Itemid=101&format=raw",
              data: { name: "John", location: "Boston" }
            }).done(function( msg ) {
              alert( "Data Saved: " + msg );
        });

! so easy after all.
