TYPO3 extension taxajax

What is does

This extension provides the xAjax PHP Class Library Version 0.2.4. It is used by other TYPO3 extensions like tt_products.

Usage

In your extension.

TypoScript

You must set this TypoScript to get the absolute image path:

config.absRefPrefix = /

or

config.absRefPrefix = auto

Otherwise an image url “fileadmin/myimage.png” will not be found, because HTML will generate a path like “https://example.com/subpage1/subpage2/fileadmin/myimage.png” out of it. Only an image url like “/fileadmin/myimage.png” can be found,

Extension Development:

Add the following line into the file ext_localconf.php of your extension my_ext.

$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['FE']['taxajax_include']['my_ext'] =  \MyDomain\MyExt\Controller\TaxajaxController::class . '::processRequest';

The links generated by typolink must contain this element inside of the querystring:

$addQueryString = [
    'taxajax' => 'my_ext'
];

The links generated by typolink must contain this element inside of the querystring:

$addQueryString = [
    'eID' => 'my_ext'
];

Routing Enhancer:

xajax PHP Class Library

The easiest way to develop asynchronous Ajax applications with PHP

Version 0.2.4 (stable release)

1. Introduction

xajax is a PHP library that you can include in your PHP scripts to provide an easy way for Web pages to call PHP functions or object methods using Ajax (Asynchronous Javascript And XML). Simply register one or more functions/methods with the xajax object that return a proper XML response using the supplied response class, add a statement in your HTML header to print the Javascript include, and run a request processor prior to outputting any HTML. Then add some simple Javascript function calls to your HTML, and xajax takes care of the rest!

xajax includes a Javascript object to facilitate the communication between the browser and the server, and it can also be used as a Javascript library directly to simplify certain DOM and event manipulations. However, you can definitely choose to use a dedicated Javascript “engine” of your liking and integrate it with xajax’s client/server communication features in a number of ways. More tightly-coupled integration will be forthcoming in a future version of xajax.

1. For More Information

The official xajax Web site is located at: Xajax

The development has been finished in October 2014.

1. Installation

To run xajax, you need:

• Apache Web Server or IIS for Windows XP/2003 Server (other servers may work)
• PHP 8.0 and later

To install xajax:

Unpack the contents of this archive and copy them to your main Web site folder. Or if you wish, you can put all of the files in a dedicated “xajax” folder on your Web server (make sure that you know what that URL is relative your site pages so you can provide xajax with the correct installed folder URL).
