Ability to return a view from a function that could be used in a hook

[mikehike123]

Need the ability to return a view from an action hook like a short code or ajax call. I discovered a couple hacks that did return a view. Seems like there needs to be a documented way to do this from the core. My hacks haven't been tested with variables being passed to the form however.

add_action( "wp_ajax_nopriv_mytest", 'mytest' ); add_action( "wp_ajaxmytest", 'mytest' ); // Would like to return a view from a function call function mytest() { / This hack seemed to work for me to return a view from $control = new JobsController(); $control->test(); $control->main_view='jobs/test'; $control->render_main_view(); /_

_/* This hack didn't work for me until I added the layout attribute which doesn't work untill you add mv_layout to MvcLoader
$this->query_vars = array('mvc_controller','mvc_action','mvc_id','mvc_extra','mvc_layout');
*/_

MvcDispatcher::dispatch(array(
                'controller' => 'jobs',
                'action'     => 'test',
                'layout' =>'mylayout'));

} Thanks! --Mike Clark

Yep, that can work. I also sometimes just instantiate the model and include the view as a file from the action hook function. Works fine too. You can also use output buffering if needed.
