With the WordPress 3.6 heartbit Api this should be easier. With previous WordPress version you have to play with ajax and js setInterval() function. Edit @Daniel Foltynek suggest this plugin.
An AJAX request is a request from a client like any other request. Just request the URL like normal, but with Javascript. As far as that goes, this should be simple. If you’ve done item #2– “I’ll wrap the header/footer/sidebars…”– correctly there should be no problem except that page specific functions won’t run. That is … Read more
It turns out the problem was a configuration server problem. The admin turned off Open_basedir and all of my headaches, at least on this front, are gone now. I am not sure what open_basedir does exactly, but I think it was originally pointing to a folder outside wordpress, so the Ajax calls in the dashboard … Read more
add_action(‘wp_ajax_ring_callback’, ‘ring_callback’); Should be the hook you must be using to enable ring_callback function call.
For anyone that comes across this as I did via the Googlez, I was trying to load new articles onto the bottom of a single.php page (infinite scroll). I discovered that by adding an increment to the “offset” value, and then using $.post() instead of $.get(), I was able to do this. Following the code … Read more
You can re-initialize all the scripts once again inside the AJAX success. // Fetch the scripts scripts=””; if ( scripts.length ) scripts.detach(); scripts = response.find(‘script’); // Add the scripts scripts.each(function(){ var script = jQuery(this), scriptText = script.html(), scriptNode = document.createElement(‘script’); try { // doesn’t work on ie… scriptNode.appendChild(document.createTextNode(scriptText)); contentNode.appendChild(scriptNode); } catch(e) { // IE has … Read more
As the “Next”, “Prev” links are the part of AJAX responded content, you need to use either ‘live’ or ‘on’ based upon the jQuery version you are using. jQuery(document).ready(function($) { var cadenaNext=””; var cadenaPrev=”; $(‘#ajax-form-next’).live(“submit”, function(e) { e.preventDefault(); jQuery.post(MyAjax.url, {action : ‘next_posts’ ,cadenaNext : $(‘#nextPosts’).val(), cadenaPrev : $(‘#actualPosts’).val() }, function(response) { $(‘#posts_container’).hide(1000); setTimeout(function() {$(‘#posts_container’).html(response).show(1000);}, 1000); … Read more
WordPress does that by default at the end of admin-ajax.php. It kind of assumes you’ll use one of wp_send_json(), wp_send_json_success(), or wp_send_json_error() to communicate your process’ state (or at least terminate the script yourself). All of those use wp_die() to terminate the script after sending the response. It’s sort of a catch-all response.
With that code in place, all you should need to do is poke the page with wp_remote_get() as your backend page loads, and before you need to retrieve the option value. By doing this, you avoid the possibility that no visiter has visited the page. Your request will be that visitor. The function is fairly … Read more
Worked out the answer with input from non WP-oriented forum and edited above to show. In short the variables were retrieved from WITHIN the js function using getElementByID and prevented error on non-action form with event.preventDefault(); like so: function glitch_player_display() { user_input = document.getElementById(“user_input”).value ? document.getElementById(“user_input”).value : 2; generated_var = document.getElementById(“generated_var”).value ? document.getElementById(“generated_var”).value : “Default_Var”; … Read more
