Accessing Expression Engine fetch_action_id function in a Module CP's view file

Question

I am writing a script using AJAX in JQuery that takes an action_id from exp_actions as the destination URL for the method I need to execute in my mcp file. The reference is made statically. Can the ACT value be found by making a PHP call in the view in a way similar to:

$aid =$this->EE->cp->fetch_action_id('Class_name', 'method_name'); ?

My page currently looks this way:

<script type= "text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('form').change(function(e){
        var data = $(this).serializeArray();
        console.log(data);
        $.post(
            <? echo'http://ourwebsite.com/ee/admin.php?ACT=44&id=4 ,';?>
            data,
            function() {
                console.log(this);
            } 
        )
    });
});

Thanks in advance!

Assuming you are using that script in a template or a snippet, you could make a call to your addon instead, returning the needed URL:

<script type= "text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
    $('form').change(function(e){
        var data = $(this).serializeArray();
        console.log(data);
        $.post(
            '{exp:your_addon:method_for_getting_action_id_url}',
            data,
            function() {
                console.log(this);
            } 
        )
    });
});

For the purposes of my page, I am hoping to do this from the view file of this module or within the mcp file. Is this possible? – JordWms Apr 23 '12 at 20:52
Sure, why not just pass the info as dato to the view you are returning? – Repox Apr 23 '12 at 21:18

If you want to make an ajax request in the CP, you just need to request the cp url:

/system/index.php?S=0&D=cp&C=addons_modules&M=show_module_cp&module=my_module&method=my_method
