Juri::base with domains

[compojoom]

Hey guys,
I'm the developer of Hotspots : https://compojoom.com/joomla-extensions/hotspots

I currently have a client who is using gtranslate PRO and he has problems with my extension. Now what is happening is that when you select a new language -> the domain name changes. Hotspots makes an ajax request to get the data. But because it makes an ajax request to the main domain and not to the subdomain -> the cross domain browser policy comes into place and no request takes place.

I use the Juri::base() function to determine the domain name to which to send the request. Normally if you are on example.com -> it will return example.com. If you are on example.com/something -> it will return example.com/something . if you are on de.example.com -> it should return de.example.com . But with gtranslate it returns example.com ...

So I though ok, maybe we can modify the javascript to read the window.location and I tried to execute the ajax query directly - it worked and maybe this is a possible solution, but there is another problem. The response to my ajax request is a json object. But in in this case when I send the request through the de.example.com then my response starts with % and ends with

Code: Select all

<!-- delivered by GTranslate v4.3.3 visit http://gtranslate.net -->


This is going to brake the application as it expects a json object. Any ideas/recommendation on what to do?

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi,

I suggest to use relative path when making the request. So instead of JURI::base() use JURI::base(true).

If the response is JSON, then you need to use Content-Type: application/json header instead of text/html.

Thanks!

Hey Edvard,
Thanks for the reply. It seems that the jdocument -> setMimeEncoding function is not working properly and it is not settings the content-type as it should. I used the

Code: Select all

header("Content-Type: application/json");   


function and now it seems to be fine.
