Rails: AJAX Controller JS not firing...
- by neezer
I'm having an issue with one of my controller's AJAX functionality. Here's what I have:
class PhotosController < ApplicationController
# ...
def create
@photo = Photo.new(params[:photo])
@photo.image_content_type = MIME::Types.type_for(@photo.image_file_name).to_s
@photo.image_width = Paperclip::Geometry.from_file(params[:photo][:image]).width.to_i
@photo.image_height = Paperclip::Geometry.from_file(params[:photo][:image]).height.to_i
@photo.save!
respond_to do |format|
format.js
end
end
# ...
end
This is called through a POST request sent by this code:
$(function() {
// add photos link
$('a.add-photos-link').colorbox({
overlayClose: false,
onComplete: function() { wire_add_photo_modal(); }
});
function wire_add_photo_modal() {
<% session_key = ActionController::Base.session_options[:key] %>
$('#upload_photo').uploadify({
uploader: '/swf/uploadify.swf',
script: '/photos',
cancelImg: '/images/buttons/cancel.png',
buttonText: 'Upload Photo(s)',
auto: true,
queueID: 'queue',
fileDataName: 'photo[image]',
scriptData: {
'<%= session_key %>': '<%= u cookies[session_key] %>',
commit: 'Adding Photo',
controller: 'photos',
action: 'create',
'_method': 'post',
'photo[gallery_id]': $('#gallery_id').val(),
'photo[user_id]': $('#user_id').val(),
authenticity_token: encodeURIComponent('<%= u form_authenticity_token if protect_against_forgery? %>')
},
multi: true
});
}
});
Finally, I have my response code in app/views/photos/create.js.erb:
alert('photo added!');
My log file shows that the request was successful (the photo was successfully uploaded), and it even says that it rendered the create action, yet I never get the alert. My browser shows NO javascript errors.
Here's the log AFTER a request from the above POST request is submitted:

NOTE: I edited out all the SQL statements and I put "edited" in place of sensitive info.
What gives? Why aren't I getting my alert();?
Please let me know if you need anymore info to help me solve this issue! Thanks.
