New content in ajax requests

Is the Template parser involved at all on this ACT request, David?

yes, for example we store the shipping option ‘layout’ in a snippet to give developers control over the returned value. We parse the variables to insert the available rate data and then run it through the parser to handle conditionals / etc.

$tmp = $this->EE->TMPL->parse_variables($snippetdata, $vars);
$this->EE->TMPL->parse($tmp);
$output .= $tmp;

If you’re intending that these “layouts” are fully parsed by the template engine, you’ll need to add a step:

$tmp = ee()->TMPL->parse_globals($tmp);

That will parse global variables as well as remove any stray EE comments (the ones you are seeing are for runtime template annotation).

Thanks Mr. Chief Maker,

That did the trick. We’ll run some additional test but as of now I think we are fully EE 2.9 compatible.

Best, David

Awesome, glad to hear it.
