AjaxButton/AjaxLink howto?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Edit: ok, figured it out. Problem was this action function was protected instead of public.

Hi Guys,

I’m new both in yii and web dev, and have simple ajax question.

I have post model, and I’d like to create ajaxbuttons for voting up and down on this.

I wanted to do some tests but cant make it work, maybe you could help me.

In the views/post/_view.php I add something like this:


<?php echo CHtml::ajaxLink(

		'Vote UP',

		array('VoteUp'),

		array('update'=>'#test')

		); 

	?>

<div id="test">...</div>

Now in controllers/PostController.php I add actionVoteUp()


protected function actionVoteUp()

	{

		echo "LALALA";

		Yii:app()->end();

	}

But this div#test … is not changing to LALALA when I click link. What am I doing wrong?

Edit:

I get error:

Strange as PostController.php has this method declared :confused:
