I know this works. My routes file is the default.
I loaded CI URL helper in my controller __construct() function
$this->load->helper('url');
Here's my ajax:
/*
*Ajax function to load confirmation page
*/
var formID=$("div form");
formID.submit(function(event){ //activated on submit event
event.preventDefault(); //stops page from reloading
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url:'<?php echo site_url("plan/process")?>',
data:formID.serialize(),
success:function(data){
$("div #msg_area").html(data);
window.setTimeout(function(){parent.location.reload()},3000);
}
});
});
I have multiple controllers so it calls the specific one call plan and the \n the function process. The process function one looks like this:
function process (){
$json_data = strtolower(json_encode($this->input->post()));
$res = array();
//Simple Error/success display...
$res = json_decode($this->plan->process_plan($json_data ),true);
if(array_key_exists('error',$res)){
$window = "warning";
$error=explode(":",$res['error']);
$result['message']="<h2><span class='color-dark'>Submission error:</span> ".$error[0]." </h2><p>".$error[1]."</p>";
}
else{
$window = "success";
$result['message'] = "<h2>Submission was a success</h2>";
}
echo $this->load->view("common/components/".$window,$result);
}
This works great for me. Hopefully it helps.
