Hej there.

I'm trying to call a function inside my controller, returning a simple value/string.

I tried via browser address and AJAX call, using the URL "/QuizPage_Controller/checkQuizForm":

class QuizPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
	private static $allowed_actions = array(
		'checkQuizForm'
	);
	public function checkQuizForm() {
		return 'form checked';
	}
}

The result is alway a 403 forbidden. Even when I'm logged in as an admin.

What do I do wrong? Can't be that hard...

Thanks, Mario

You need to ?flush the site to have the site recognize your altered $allowed_actions setting.

I did that, without any effect.

Maybe you've permission in place for this page?

Hey Mario,

what are the logs saying? SS error log or webserver error log? Also I'd switch to dev mode to see more than just a forbidden message.

Does calling the controller directly work? e.g. http://mysite.com/QuizPage_Controller/checkQuizForm ?

Cheers, Werner

I did not check the logs yet, but I am admin and logged in. Also the site runs in dev mode. The 403 comes, when I try via Ajax. When trying to load the function directly, the page says, that the page is not public yet and I have to log in as someone else to see the unpublished content.

This is strange and I'm pretty sure there is just one little thing to change.

This does sound strange.
Since this is a page type though it is probably worth checking:

1. in the cms whether or not Access is limited
   
2. whether you have some stricter settings in the model's canView()
   
3. That the page is published
   

:)

If you're on a 3.x site you can't access the controller via the URL without setting up a rule on the director.
