Laravel won't submit ajax

[makamo66]

I'm trying to get the user/dashboard page to submit as ajax. My console shows ABOUT TO SEND SUCCESS! Done. so that means the jquery post was sent but I keep getting "No ajax" on the user/dashboard page. How do I submit a page as ajax?

added to routes.php

Route::post('user/dashboard', array('before' => 'suth', 'uses' => 'UserController@calendar'));

added to UsersController.php

   public function calendar(){
	print_r($_POST);
 	if (Request::ajax()) {
        return "yeahhhh";
    	}
        return "<br />No ajax";
 		return View::make('user.dashboard.index');
}

added to main.js

 $.ajax({
    url: 'http://beta.opentemp.local/user/dashboard',
    data: {} + "&_token=" + $("input[name=_token]").val(),
    type: 'POST',
    'beforeSend': function(xhr, settings) {
      console.log('ABOUT TO SEND');
    },
    'success': function(result, status_code, xhr) {
      console.log('SUCCESS!');
    },
    'complete': function(xhr, text_status) {
      console.log('Done.');
    },
    'error': function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {

alert("Error with ajax Function: "+ textStatus+" "+errorThrown); }
  });

Do you get any errors from the console/debugger?

I get the alert "Error with ajax Function: error"

{} + "&_token="

Why are you trying to concatenate a string with an (empty) object? That's going to give you a string like "[font=monospace][Object object]&token=[/font]", which doesn't make sense.
