I am trying to ajaxify my site. I want the “Main page content” to be passed via an ajax-command to a custom js-function.

To accomplish this I would do the following:

1. I need to register a path for my ajax requests

code:

$items['_custom_ajax_'] = array(   'title' => 'AHAH callback',   'page callback' => 'ajax_form_callback',   'delivery callback' => '_custom_ajax_deliver',   'access callback' => TRUE,   'theme callback' => 'ajax_base_page_theme',   'type' => MENU_CALLBACK, ); 

2. use a custom delivery callback function _custom_ajax_deliver which is the copy of the ajax_deliver()

original code:

function ajax_deliver($page_callback_result) {   // Browsers do not allow JavaScript to read the contents of a user's local   // files. To work around that, the jQuery Form plugin submits forms containing   // a file input element to an IFRAME, instead of using XHR. Browsers do not   // normally expect JSON strings as content within an IFRAME, so the response   // must be customized accordingly.   // @see http://malsup.com/jquery/form/#file-upload   // @see Drupal.ajax.prototype.beforeSend()   $iframe_upload = !empty($_POST['ajax_iframe_upload']);    // Emit a Content-Type HTTP header if none has been added by the page callback   // or by a wrapping delivery callback.   if (is_null(drupal_get_http_header('Content-Type'))) {     if (!$iframe_upload) {       // Standard JSON can be returned to a browser's XHR object, and to       // non-browser user agents.       // @see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4627.txt?number=4627       drupal_add_http_header('Content-Type', 'application/json; charset=utf-8');     }     else {       // Browser IFRAMEs expect HTML. With most other content types, Internet       // Explorer presents the user with a download prompt.       drupal_add_http_header('Content-Type', 'text/html; charset=utf-8');     }   }    // Print the response.   $commands = ajax_prepare_response($page_callback_result);   $json = ajax_render($commands);   if (!$iframe_upload) {     // Standard JSON can be returned to a browser's XHR object, and to     // non-browser user agents.     print $json;   }   else {     // Browser IFRAMEs expect HTML. Browser extensions, such as Linkification     // and Skype's Browser Highlighter, convert URLs, phone numbers, etc. into     // links. This corrupts the JSON response. Protect the integrity of the     // JSON data by making it the value of a textarea.     // @see http://malsup.com/jquery/form/#file-upload     // @see http://drupal.org/node/1009382     print '<textarea>' . $json . '</textarea>';   }    // Perform end-of-request tasks.   ajax_footer(); } 

3. create an custom function which do the ajax request like Drupal.ajax

4. bind the ajax request to some selector e.g. a.ajaxify

5. add a custom ajax-command

Im not sure if this is the right way, or if I can extend the core easier somehow. Basicly my approach is simmilar to the module Ajaxify Drupal with JQuery Ajax

Better Ideas?

Update: one more thing – I need an event to be triggered everytime an ajax-link is clicked.
