Using Ajax to render .page output in HTML file

LooseCannon

TeamSite/LiveSite 731

 

I have a .page file that returns an HTML snippet of information as the reponse. The .page file is requested from an HTML page via AJAX. Code snippet below:

 

url = "/sales/profile.page";

$.ajax({
  url: url,
  success: function( data ) {
    $( "#profile-container" ).html( data );		
  }
});

 

The request is working correctly on the runtime side - the HTML page is displaying the output of the .page file, but not within TeamSite.

 

In TeamSite the .page file is not being processed by LSDS and as a result the raw .page XML is returned - instead of the HTML snippet. Here's the URL that's being used in TeamSite:

 

url = "/iw-mount/default/main/Portal/WORKAREA/maintenance/shared/sites/sales/profile.page";

 

Any ideas on requesting a .page file via AJAX within TeamSite a workarea????

 

Thanks!

On the page where you have your AJAX call, have the component output

 

var url = "$PAGE_LINK[sales/profile]";

instead of hardcoding the transformed value. Then you're letting the LiveSite engine figure out when to output the real link, and when to output an alias suitable for preview.
