I have been trying to send some data to a controller via AJAX but for the life of me I can`t seem to make it work; everytime I make the request, a 403 forbidden error is thrown.
this is the ajax request:
$.ajax({
type: 'post',
url:"<?php echo Router::url(array('controller'=>'Atls','action'=>'saveTime', '_ext' => 'json'));?>",
dataType: 'json',
data: {atl_id: idTimerPaused, time: actual_time},
beforeSend: function(xhr){
},
success: function (response) {
console.log('Nailed It');
},
error: function(jqXHR, exception){
console.log(jqXHR);
}
});
return false;
the controller action:
public function saveTime()
{
if ($this->request->is('post') && $this->request->is('ajax')) {
$content = $this->request->getData();
$query = $this->Atls->query();
$result = $query
->update()
->set(
$query->newExpr('actual_time = '. $content['time'])
)
->where([
'id' => $content['atl_id']
])
->execute();
$this->set(compact('content'));
$this->set('_serialize', ['content']);
$this->render('ajax_response', 'ajax');
}
}
I have loaded the extensions on the routes.php file (Router::extensions('json', 'xml');)
The request handler is also loaded and the function is allowed:
public function initialize()
{
parent::initialize();
$this->loadComponent('RequestHandler');
}
public function beforeFilter(Event $event)
{
parent::beforeFilter($event);
$this->Auth->allow('saveTime');
//Change layout for Ajax requests
$this->viewBuilder()->layout('appTemplate');
if ($this->request->is('ajax')) {
$this->viewBuilder()->layout('ajax');
}
}
that "ajax_response" view has also been added.
I can't see where the problem could be. So any help I can get to work this out would be much appreciated.
