jQuery Grid Plugin - jqGrid

Hi Tony and forum users,

I can't load json data into the visible grid in my custom php page because I can't get the setURL path correct.

I can get the quick installation demo going – even when it uses the same jq-config.php file and other setup files as my own custom page does.

Firebug's console shows that the address created by $grid->setUrl gives a 404 Not Found.

Yet, if I'm not corrected, this address exists – at least the part before the attributes after the .php?

I must have overlooked something simple, but have wasted days on this after testing for many other problems that may have caused this.

Please help. I want to get back to developing with the grid again as I could with the non-php version – not fighting a config file.

My deadline is tight so if I can't get this working in 1 more day, I'll have to find an alternative to the otherwise excellent jqgrid.

My dir, file, and config Layout:

includes/classes/jq-config.php

includes/classes/jqGrid.php

/includes/classes/jqGridPdo.php

My files:

1. same role as myfirstgrid.php demo:

includes/template_type/user_type/view_1/my_custom_view_jqgrid.inc.php  

With $grid->setUrl($path_to_controllers . '/includes/template_type/user_type/view_1/my_custom_view_jqgrid.inc.php');

$path_to_controllers can be substituted with the full path, but still no luck.

2. same role as myjqgrid.php:

includes/template_type/user_type/view_1/my_custom_view.inc.php

3. URL shown in browser:

http://domain/site/user/view/

This view includes the file:

includes/template_type/user_type/view_1/inpage_tabs

and the first tab in tis includes file 1. above:

includes/template_type/user_type/view_1/my_custom_view_jqgrid.inc.php

Firebug's 404 shows (sorry - had to post url as below as otherwise forum abbreviates it)

http://domain/

path/

controllers/

includes/

template_type/

user_type/

view_1/

my_custom_view_jqgrid.inc.php?

oper=grid&_search=false&nd=1270692718070&rows=10&page=1&sidx=OrderID&sord=asc

To make testing simple, I've tested the grid with 1 less include – that is – included directly into http://domain/site/user/view/ outside of the the 'inpage_tabs' include, but again, only the grid is rendered – no data, and the son output is similar but for a slight change in path.

Again – I can get the demo myjqgrid.php showing data in the site's root dir – even with the same config paths that point to includes/classes/jq-config.php etc.

I've read that setURL should be the same as the include path in final view, but using this (as above) doesn't work.

If it was because I am using 2 includes, I could understand, but if I include the final jqgrid with just 1 include directly to the view page, I can still only render the grid with no JSON data.

Please help! I'd like to get this going, pay for the developer licence, and publish my site.
