I am developing a joomla component. I added a drag and drop uploader with ajax. When a file is uploaded, a confirmation-mail should be sent. I get the right item of the database with $id = $app->input->getInt('id'); This works, But when the ajax call is done, the variable $id is set to null, so in the email the $customers->name is also null. Why is the complete model reloaded after the ajax-call?
I call the controller method:
Ajax Call
$.ajax({ cache: false, url: "index.php?option=com_customercenter&task=mailAfterUpload&tmpl=component", dataType: "json", formData: {"companyID":"companyID"}, success: function(data) { for(var i=0;i<data.length;i++) { obj.createProgress(data[i]["name"],data[i]["path"],data[i]["size"]); } } }); Controller
public function mailAfterUpload() { $model = $this->getModel(); $response = $model->sendEmailAfterUpload(); } Model
public function sendEmailAfterUpload() { $customers = $this->getCustomercenterData(); $mailer = JFactory::getMailer(); $config = JFactory::getConfig(); $sender = array( $config->get( 'mailfrom' ), $config->get( 'fromname' ) ); $mailer->setSender($sender); $user = JFactory::getUser(); $recipient = $sender; $mailer->addRecipient($recipient); $body = "Der Kunde: <b>" . $customers->name . "</b> hat neue Daten übermittelt<br>Ordner '" . $customers->upload_folder . "' checken" ; $subject = $customers->name . " hat neue Daten übermittelt"; $mailer->isHTML(true); $mailer->Encoding = 'base64'; $mailer->setSubject($subject); $mailer->setBody($body); $send = $mailer->Send(); if ( $send !== true ) { echo 'Error sending email: ' . $send->__toString(); } else { echo 'Mail sent'; } } Model sql-query
$app = JFactory::getApplication('site'); $id = $app->input->getInt('id');
