Extensibility AJAX

This document is designed to explain the concepts of enabling AJAX refresh in an Advanced Sidebox addon module. For further details, view the entire list of extensibility documents: Extensibility Docs

Using AJAX Refresh

ASB is constructed so that modules only need to set a module property to take advantage of the AJAX refresh features.

Enabling AJAX Refresh

In your module's _info() function, add the xmlhttp setting with a value of (bool) true:

function asb_example_info()
{
	return array(
		'title' => 'XMLHTTP Example',
		[...]
		'xmlhttp' => true,
	);
}

...and you're done. Since 4.0, all of the work is done internally. 😄
