Bug 1605071: Display JSON-style errors for ajax blocks
If an Ajax block errors out, it will looks less broken
to display the JSON code there than to display error.tpl
(which tries to wedge a whole copy of the Mahara header and
footer and everything, into the space for a block.)
It would be even better to change block.js so that it actually
expects a JSON response.

Title:
Display something more error-like when an AJAX block errors out
Status in Mahara:
In Progress
Bug description:
Spinning this bug off from Bug 1544424 (Endless JS loop if there's an
uncaught exception in an ajax block) since patch
https://reviews.mahara.org/6055 has taken much longer than
https://reviews.mahara.org/6054 to get merged.
We no longer get an endless loop when an Ajax block errors out, but it
still looks pretty bad. See the attached screenshot. Because the file
"blocktype.ajax.php" doesn't have the "JSON" header at its top, when
it errors out, Mahara tries to print the full error page with the
navigation headers and the message "Mahara: Site unavailable", and
then ajaxblocks.js tries to display it in the little iframe reserved
for that block.
This looks confusing to the user, and it can spill over out of that
block's space and cover up adjacent blocks. It would be better if we
printed something that more obviously indicates that just this one
block is broken, and that doesn't break the display of other blocks.
