joomla-ajax-handle

A slim, plugin to act as an entry point for Ajax functionality in Joomla. It is designed to execute plugins following the onAjax[foo] naming convention, where [foo] is the name of the Ajax plugin group to execute. For example, the Ajax Session Plugin is executed by the component calling onAjaxSession as the plugin extends JPlugin with plgAjaxSession.

URL Convention

Choose how you want to handle ajax requests

• Custom variable handle
  • Ajax events are triggered by submitting a request to index.php?ajax=1
  • Variable 'ajax' is customisable
• Fake component call
  • Ajax events are triggered by submitting a request to index.php?component=com_ajax
  • Component 'com_ajax' is customisable
  • Example content voting request: index.php?component=com_ajax&option=com_content&task=article.vote&user_rating=2&id=1&view=article&url=index.php
  • Ps.: you need to send jform token by post
• Checking Request Header
