using ajax form send in revolution

AJAX is just javascript. It’s really got nothing to do with MODx. Evo or Revo, you are free to use whatever javascript/AJAX you like. The only thing I’m not sure of is if it’s as easy to use a Revo resource with a snippet as the AJAX processor as it is in Evo.

It’s as easy, but perhaps a little better in Revo. If you set up a Resource as your Ajax processor you can define it’s content type as javascript or json or whatever you want.
If you’re creating a 3rd party component, I suggest reading the Revo docs on that, since it explains how to take it a little further and abstract the processor behind a "connector".

I guess what I meant was what you are referring to - Using Revo Resources w/ajax and defining content types

I think i’ve figured out a nice way of doing it with Jquery - i’m building an ajax based front end editor for Revo (sort of like disqus commenting except for editing resources)

I’ll need to do some reading on packaging third party components - but once I have that down I can make this available to the community

If this is front-end, IMO, you could just use a Resource with a Snippet on it to handle AJAX requests/responses; much, much simpler and more elegant from my perspective. Connectors were intended for back-end functionality to be exposed across Contexts (i.e. for things like front-end editing components to make use of).

This statement belongs in the docs. It would have saved at least one person from several sleepless nights.

Has anyone found a good tutorial for using a snippet and resource to make and receive AJAX requests? I have been searching and searching and have not found anything comprehensive.

Thanks

I’ve got an example of using Uploadify on my site; the tutorial itself isn’t finished, but you can log in to my Manager and view the two resources used for the AJAX processors (in the Tree they’re under the Demos -> Uploadify resources) as well as view the two AJAX processing snippets for uploadify in the Elements Snippets tab in the Demo Content category.

Hi Thanks ! I will check it out!

Does that also work with REVO??

The principle is the same; the snippet handles the AJAX processing and it’s on a page with no template that can be used as the URL being called by the AJAX request. I don’t see why it shouldn’t work with Revo.

it actually works flawlessly, i wrote manual based on this technique:
