XMLHttpRequest gets 404 — why??

[Terion]

I see something whired...
Contao 2.9.1
When I try to load a page via ajax requests — I get 404 error!
If to load the same page by pasting it into browser address bar — everything is good.
Why? And how to get content via ajax? Is this something new in 2.9.1?

Hi,

I see something whired...
Contao 2.9.1

When I looked at the URL, it shows something but HTTP respose is really "404".
Have you check HTTP response when you see the page?
(I checked with Live HTTP headers extention of Firefox.)

The page is realy 404 type of page?

Best regards.

Ohhh!!! Why I didn't look at headers in the beginning...
Shame on me.
There is a catalog reader module on the same page that sends 404-headers if nothing found...
Thanx alot

Just install Andreas' ajax.php helper from the E.R.

You can then call any Contao Module like this:
ajax.php?action=fmd&id=3

You can try it on my website (this will load the footer into a browser) -- the g=1 parameter means to use the standard generate function of the module (you can also write a special generateAjax() function will will be called instead of you leave that off...
http://www.mojaheritage.co.za/ajax.php? ... d&id=2&g=1

This makes it really easy to make special modules with alternative templates for use only in ajax, or using the current one, but replacing the HTML with the new content.
