How do I structure my pages and partial templates so that Ajax will play nice with <paginate> and column sorting?
I currently have a search.gsp page with a remoteField that calls a controller to update a template. This all works fine. However, the column sorting and paging actions cause my search.gsp to be completely replaced by the template view.
From my search.gsp:
<div id="searchBox">
Enter a key or phrase: <g:remoteField name="searchBox"
update="resourceSearchResultPanel" paramName="q"
url="[controller:'resourceEntry',action:'searchForResources']"
/>
</div>
<div id="resourceSearchResultPanel" />
My controller handles the search request like so:
def searchForResources = {
params.max = Math.min(params.max ? params.max.toInteger() : 10, 100)
params.offset = params.offset ? params.offset.toInteger() : 0
log.debug "Handling search post action"
def q = params.q ?: null
log.debug "Search phrase is $q"
def searchResults
if (q) {
searchResults = [
results: ResourceEntry.search(q,[offset: params.offset, max: params.max]),
resultCount: ResourceEntry.countHits(q),
q: q.encodeAsHTML()
]
}
render(template:"resourceSearchResultPanel",model:searchResults)
}
The _resourceSearchResultPanel.gsp is just a table with this <paginate> tag:
<g:paginate action="searchForResources" total="${resultCount}" params='["q":"${q}"]' />
The problem is that when the <paginate> tag calls the controller, the entire page is refreshed with the contents of the _resourceSearchResultPanel.gsp template, while I just want the _resourceSearchResultPanel.gsp itself to be refreshed inside search.gsp.
Thanks,
Mike
