Ajax multiple DIV update with Single action and multiple actions.

The idea here is to show different ways of using ajax to update different section of the document.

The first input box updates two different DIV tags, on key up, using two different/separate actions. It is worth noting in the first example the concatenation of the "remote_function" function. You can update as many DIV tags using the concatenation of "remote_function".. cool stuff!
The second input box updates two different DIV tags, on key up, using a single action... with two different values. Note in this example, we have to use a place holder for our ajax response. The response will contain javascript to update several sections of the page.. since the response contains scripts, we enable the script in the call ('script'=>true)
One last thing worth noting is the use of "$F" prototype function. You can use the "$F" function to get the value of any object with ID on the page. let that be an input, select or a radio group.

index.php

<br /><div id="input_tag_section_1" >input_tag_section_1</div>
<br /><div id="input_tag_section_2" >input_tag_section_2</div>
 
 
<br /><div id="update_me_1">update_me_1</div>
<br /><div id="update_me_2">update_me_2</div>
 
<br /><div id="js_holder_for_multi_update"></div>
<?php 
 
echo form_tag('test/index');
 
/**
 * The following input tag updates two different sections using two different actions.
 */
echo '<br />'.input_tag('test_input_tag1', '', array('onkeyup'=>
     remote_function(array(
        'update'=>'input_tag_section_1'
      , 'url'=> 'test/updateInputTagSectionOne'
      , 'with'=>"'value=' + \$F('test_input_tag1')"
      ))
    .remote_function(array(
        'update'=>'input_tag_section_2'
      , 'url'=> 'test/updateInputTagSectionTwo'
      , 'with'=>"'value=' + \$F('test_input_tag1')"
      ))
    ));
 
/**
 * The following input tag updates two different sections (DIV tags) using a single action
 * This is done using a javasctipt that gets created in the called action, and updates several sections 
 */
echo '<br />'.input_tag('test_input_tag2', '', array('onkeyup'=>
     remote_function(array(
        'update'=>'js_holder_for_multi_update'
      , 'url'=> 'test/updateJsHolderForMultiUpdate'
      , 'with'=>"'value=' + \$F('test_input_tag2')"
      , 'script'=>true))
    ));
 
 
echo '</form>';
 
?>

action.class.php

Here we have the different actions that are used by the ajax callers above.

<?php
 
class testActions extends sfActions
{
  public function executeIndex()
  {
    //nothing to do here
  }
 
  public function executeUpdateInputTagSectionOne(){
    $this->valueFromAction = 'This is from section ONE action.';
  }
 
  public function executeUpdateInputTagSectionTwo(){
    $this->valueFromAction = 'This is from section TWO action.';
  }
 
  public function executeUpdateJsHolderForMultiUpdate(){
    $this->valueFromAction = 'This is from Multi update action.';
    $this->update_me_1_value = 'Value for first ';
    $this->update_me_2_value = 'Value for second ';
  }
 
 
}
?>

updateInputTagSectionOneSuccess.php

This is called by the first input example, updates two DIVs with different content from different actions.

<?php
 
echo $valueFromAction .' Value = '.$sf_params->get('value');
 
?>

updateInputTagSectionTwoSuccess.php

This is called by the first input example, updates two DIVs with different content from different actions.

This contains the same code as the previous one template, however the action is giving it a different value.

<?php
 
echo $valueFromAction .' Value = '.$sf_params->get('value');
 
?>

updateJsHolderForMultiUpdateSuccess.php

This is called by the second input example, updates two DIVs with different content from a single action.

This template will only contain javascript to update our DIV tags with required data.

Note how the "update_element_function" is concatenated below.

<?php
echo javascript_tag(
     update_element_function('update_me_1', array('content' => $update_me_1_value.' '.$sf_params->get('value')))
    .update_element_function('update_me_2', array('content' => $update_me_2_value.' '.$sf_params->get('value')))
  );
?>

Finally .. Enjoy, and I really hope this helps someone out there.

Creating SQL for multiple insert

Relating to the post http://www.symfony-project.org/forum/index.php/m/32510/

I've created tools to generate SQL.

PS. Done with haste and for postgresSQL.

Can be edited to take in array of objects and form a whole SQL but I don't want to keep a large array of objects.

CREATED_AT, UPDATED_AT forced as NOW()

  /**

One link, multiple ajax div updates, only one remote call

The problem seems to arise quite frequently: a page contains one Ajax link, but the remote function must update several divs on the page. Consider, for instance, the following template:

<h1>First zone to update</h1>
<div id="first_zone">
  Hello there
</div>
 
<h1>Second zone to update</h1>
<div id="second_zone">
  <p>How do you do, <strong>mate</strong>?
</div>
 
<h1>Ajax link</h1>
<?php echo use_helper('Javascript') ?>
<?php echo link_to_remote('click me', array(
  'url'    => 'test/ajax',
  'update' => 'result',
  'script' => true,
)) ?>
<div id="result">
</div>

What would the test/ajax action look like to update both the first_zone and the second_zone?

For the code of the action itself (executeAjax()), we'll ignore it since it really depends on what logic you put in your Ajax interaction. For this example, it will be empty.

The code of the template (ajaxSuccess.php) can be as follows:

<?php echo use_helper('Javascript') ?>
 
<?php slot('first_update') ?>
  So you like clicking, uh?
<?php end_slot() ?>
 
<?php slot('second_update') ?>
  <p>I'd like to test quotes (like "). </p>
  <p>And <strong>tags</strong>, too.</p>
<?php end_slot() ?>
 
<?php echo javascript_tag(
 
  update_element_function('first_zone', array(
    'content' => get_slot('first_update'),
  ))
  .
  update_element_function('second_zone', array(
    'content' => get_slot('second_update'),
  )) 
 
) ?>

Once rendered, the HTML code sent to the user will look like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
$('first_zone').innerHTML = '  So you like clicking, uh?\n';
$('second_zone').innerHTML = '  <p>I\'d like to test quotes (like \"). </p>\n  <p>And <strong>tags</strong>, too.</p>\n';
//]]>
</script>

And this will do exactly what we wanted: update both zones with different content, in a single remote call. The interest of using the slot helpers is that you don't need to worry about escaping the content passed to the JavaScript function, and it looks really nice in your favorite syntax-highlighting text editor.

If you happen to do this a lot, maybe you will want to package the multiple updater into a helper. That's quite easy:

function update_elements_function($updates)
{
  $res = "";
  foreach($updates as $zoneName => $slotName)
  {
    $res .= update_element_function($zoneName, array('content' => get_slot($slotName)));
  }
  return javascript_tag($res);
}

Then you could replace the call to the javascript_tag() in the ajaxSuccess.php template by a simpler:

<?php echo update_elements_function(array(
  'first_zone'  => 'first_update',
  'second_zone' => 'second_update',
)) ?>

Performancewise, if the Ajax response is small (below 512 Bytes), you'd better use the JSON approach.

More on multiple ajax div updates

Quentin Garnier, in this snippet: http://www.symfony-project.com/snippets/snippet/57, suggested a way to have a link call multiple remote functions (with "in order" calls being enforced by a new 'wait' parameter). With a slightly modified version of his code, here are a few more functions to be added to you Javascript.php function in the symfony core:

function periodically_call_remotes($options = array())
{
  $frequency = isset($options[0]['frequency']) ? $options[0]['frequency'] : 10; // every ten seconds by default
  $code = 'new PeriodicalExecuter(function() {'.remote_functions($options).'}, '.$frequency.')';
 
  return javascript_tag($code);
}
 
function link_to_remotes($name, $options = array(), $html_options = array())
{
  return link_to_function($name, remote_functions($options), $html_options);
}
 
function remote_functions($options)
{
  // Multi ajax call
  $multi_function = "";
  // First pass (wait)
  for ($i = 0; isset($options[$i]); $i++) {
    if (isset($options[$i]['wait']) && $options[$i]['wait'] != $i && isset($options[$options[$i]['wait']])) {
      if (isset($options[$options[$i]['wait']]['complete'])) {
          $options[$options[$i]['wait']]['complete'] .= '; ' . remote_function($options[$i]);
      } else {
          $options[$options[$i]['wait']]['complete'] = remote_function($options[$i]);
      }
    }
  }
 
  // Second pass
  for ($i = 0; isset($options[$i]); $i++) {
    if (!(isset($options[$i]['wait']) && $options[$i]['wait'] != $i && isset($options[$options[$i]['wait']]))) {
      $multi_function .=  remote_function($options[$i]) . ';';
    }
  }
  return $multi_function;
}

To use it, you could do something like this:

<?php echo link_to_remotes('multi ajax',
    array(
        array(
            'update' => 'first_zone',
            'url' => '/module/action1',
            'loading' => "Element.show('indicator')"
        ),
        array(
            'update' => 'second_zone',
            'url' => '/module/action2',
            'wait' => 0 /* update in a second server call, after 'news_zone' returns */
        ),
        array(
            'update' => 'third_zone',
            'url' => '/module/action3',
            'wait' => 0
        ),
        array(
            'update' => 'fourth_zone',
            'url' => '/module/action4',
            'complete' => "Element.hide('indicator')",
            'wait' => 2 /* update in a third server call, after 'third_zone' returns */
        )
    )
) ?>

or this:

<?php echo periodically_call_remotes('multi ajax',
    array(
        array(
            'frequency' => 60 /* every 60 seconds, frequency only needs to be specified in first call, not subsequent calls */
            'update' => 'first_zone',
            'url' => '/module/action1',
            'loading' => "Element.show('indicator')"
        ),
        array(
            'update' => 'second_zone',
            'url' => '/module/action2',
            'wait' => 0 /* update in a second server call, after 'news_zone' returns */
        ),
        array(
            'update' => 'third_zone',
            'url' => '/module/action3',
            'wait' => 0
        ),
        array(
            'update' => 'fourth_zone',
            'url' => '/module/action4',
            'complete' => "Element.hide('indicator')",
            'wait' => 2 /* update in a third server call, after 'third_zone' returns */
        )
    )
) ?>

Notes

It should be noted that using the 'wait' parameter will cause all top level ajax remote function calls to be executed in one call to the server, and each second level to be executed in a second call, etc. Basically, multiple calls to the server are generated by the user action.

This will cause huge performance issues if you attempt to use these functions in a high-traffic scalable-sensitive system. It is mainly intended for a link which executes two or three functions at most. To do more, you should consider using another approach, like the JSON approach documented in the wiki.

One link, multiple ajax div updates

The problem

I have:

<?php
 
echo link_to_remote("update news",
                     array(
                           'update'  => 'news_zone',
                           'url'     => 'news/index',
                          )
                   )
?>

The div with the id 'news_zone' will be updated if i click on the link 'update news'. But how can i update another div ?

My solution

You have to add the code in the file symfony/helper/JavascriptHelper.php:

function remote_function($options)
  {
    sfContext::getInstance()->getResponse()->addJavascript('/sf/js/prototype/prototype');
 
    // Multi ajax call
    if (isset($options[0]) && is_array($options[0])) {
        $multi_function = "";
        // First pass (wait)
        for ($i = 0; isset($options[$i]); $i++) {
                if (isset($options[$i]['wait']) && $options[$i]['wait'] != $i && isset($options[$options[$i]['wait']])) {
                        if (isset($options[$options[$i]['wait']]['complete'])) {
                                $options[$options[$i]['wait']]['complete'] .= '; ' . remote_function($options[$i]);
                        } else {
                                $options[$options[$i]['wait']]['complete'] = remote_function($options[$i]);
                        }
                }
        }
 
        // Second pass
        for ($i = 0; isset($options[$i]); $i++) {
                if (!(isset($options[$i]['wait']) && $options[$i]['wait'] != $i && isset($options[$options[$i]['wait']]))) {
                        $multi_function .=  remote_function($options[$i]) . ';';
                }
        }
        return $multi_function;
    }
 
    $javascript_options = _options_for_ajax($options);
...

Now you can use a new syntax (This patch won't affect the "old" syntax. You can use it):

<?php
 
echo link_to_remote('multi ajax', array(
                                         array('update' => 'news_zone',
                                               'url' => '/news/index'
                                              ),
                                         array('update' => 'second_zone',
                                               'url' => '/module/action'
                                               )
                                       )
                   );
 
?>

I provide a special feature: "ajax in order". Requests are asynchronous. Now, you can set an order:

<?php
 
echo link_to_remote('multi ajax', array(
                                         array('update' => 'news_zone',
                                               'url' => '/news/index'
                                              ),
                                         array('update' => 'second_zone',
                                               'url' => '/module/action',
                                               'wait' => 0 /* index table. So update after 'news_zone' */
                                               )
                                       )
                   );
 
?>

Select a database dynamically

In app/lib/ create a file named myDBConnectionFilter.class.php and add:

class myDBConnectionFilter 
{
  public function initialize($filterChain) 
  {
    $db = sfContext::getInstance()->getDatabaseManager()->getDatabase('myschema');
    $db->setConnectionParameter('username', 'myusername');
    $db->setConnectionParameter('password', 'mypassword');
    $db->setConnectionParameter('hostspec', 'localhost');
    $db->setConnectionParameter('database', 'mydatabase');
 
    // The below line is optional - Symfony will connect anyway if no connection is present
    $db->connect();
 
  }
}

Then declare this filter to run on every page load by adding this to app/config/filters.yml:

myDBConnectionFilter:
  class: myDBConnectionFilter

Finally, Symfony will fail at the call above

sfContext::getInstance()->getDatabaseManager()->getDatabase('myschema');

because it does not know what type of database driver 'myschema' requires (MySQL/SQLite/etc.). You must add the following to app/config/databases.yml:

all:
  propel:
    class:          sfPropelDatabase
    param:
      phptype:            mysql

You can now dynamically select databases from the above class.
