I was under the assumption from the documentation that extensions json and
xml when setup properly would automatically render when using _serialize.
No matter what I was doing, using cakesite.com/posts.json it would not
render without a layout if I had an index.ctp. It didn't even touch
json/index.ctp.
I finally was able to get some progress, realizing that I could use
$this->viewClass = 'Json';
The problem with this is that I would have to write a lot more code if I
wanted the .json extension to output properly using if statements. And
I'd really like a solution where I could use minimal code and use REST on
my controllers wherever I wanted.
In previous versions of cake the .json extension was working properly with
$subDir, but the latest 2.1 doesn't seem to be doing so.
I don't know if I'm not understanding something, or there is a problem in
2.1.
//controller
$posts = $this->Post->find('all');
$data = array('posts' => $posts);
$this->viewClass = 'Json';
$this->set($data);
$this->set('_serialize', 'posts');
Any help / input would be appreciated.
