I am making an ajax call to a controler from a view like this
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=participate&task=participate_request&virtuemart_product_id=2&virtuemart_category_id=5&tmpl=component&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?
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(); }
found it.. in the end of the url string.. you need to attach &format=raw So the request will be
! so easy after all.
echo all your output text and just place a die(); after that
You can use Jexit(),exit() or add &format=raw in url string or use given code in controller function:
