Patch for JSON/AJAX Data Source

Created on 22 July 2013, over 11 years ago
Updated 17 January 2024, 10 months ago

Patch attached that supports 'sAjaxSource'. This means that a page will be rendered as quickly as possible and fetch the results using AJAX/JSON - I've tested it with caching enabled - which requires a slight workaround (i.e. delete the non-ajax cache cids) - the trick I've used is to limit the original results to a single record (which should enable token replacements from the first line) and then fetch the rest on an Ajax call.

Roughly what is involved in this patch:

  1. Adds a setting to the datatables style plugin to enabled "ajax_defer"; (possibly needs renaming)
  2. Provides a views query plugin that reduces the original view results to 1 record;
  3. Implements hook_views_post_execute(), which deletes the original single view result so that the ajax results will cache too;

Hopefully this is something that could be interesting incorporating into the module?
