I am working on multiple one field forms to display in the footer of a clients website. Each time the page refreshes (like an adroator) a different question should be displayed. My clients CMS is wordpress so I'm using Ninjaform to create forms.
I have created multiple ninjaforms and tried to implement their shortcode and/or their php and neither will display properly, it just displays the code.
Seems like it is some conflict but not quite sure. Would like to find a simpler solution if there is one.
Thanks in advance.
In order to get the result of a shortcode, you need to "execute" it, which the ad rotator is probably not doing.
If you can insert text into the adrotator using PHP, you can execute the shortcode and get the results with:
$result = do_shortcode('[shortcode...]');
You can then insert the result.

I'm using WP_Table_Lists in my custom plugin.
The tables are running fine, as are the bulk actions, the sortable columns and so on.
Looked up all around the internet but everywhere I find there's only pages showing how to create a custom field in posts screen, which is NOT what I need.
The function quick_edit_custom_box was a beacon of hope, but couldn't find anything to work on it.
I'm gonna use the quick edit box to make a field for tags (with autocomplete) to quickly edit one by one instead of having to wait to load and then come back.
I want to use some template for all the quick edit fieldsets instead of hard coding it all the way with AJAX / Javascript.
Is that possible?
I'm currently only using PHP to take user submissions, put them in a database, and echo them out on a page using SQL to select from a table, such as comments. I need a system that will automatically update comments without refreshing the page like on YouTube. The less the user has to manually update, the better.
I want it to work pretty much exactly how YouTube and Twitter function, where it'll say "x NEW COMMENT(s)" and clicking that updates everything.
My teacher recommended a JQuery function, but I don't have any background in that language so I don't know where to begin looking.
I'm at a complete impasse. I will update this if you guys need additional information to aid in my search.
You are looking for AJAX
You will need a HTML page with jQuery/AJAX that calls another PHP page. In that PHP page you do the DB request and then ideally return the data as JSON so that your frontend part can display it to the user.
As every one says, AJAX is the way. You can find a simple blog I did on it here.
I am developing a website in php (I am using codeigniter). On search by user I need to display list of products. Search result should give small description about the each product. Once the user clicks on more anchor I need to give full description about the product. Once user clicks back I need to be back to the search result page. I have used pagination. Any suggestion on how to carry out this task. Thanks in advance.
Indeed, this sounds like a job for our good friend Javascript. But not that much - simple history trick would be sufficient in my opinion. Resource:
http://www.javascriptkit.com/jsref/history.shtml
Example:
Go back 3 pages
This sounds like a job for our good friend Javascript. You could do this with a modal window that retrieves a page (such as /product/id/full_description) and displays the full description.
There are many modal window scripts out there that can do this. I am using jQuery and one called SimpleModal (http://www.ericmmartin.com/projects/simplemodal/) and it works well. I am using this since I am already using jQuery for many other things.
Here are some other examples:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex8/dhtmlwindow/dhtmlmodal.htm
http://okonet.ru/projects/modalbox/index.html
http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/

I am not sure the correct terminology for the process that I am trying to describe. I don't even know which platform is underlying the technique. If you understand my description, please give the link to the site(s) and or the keyword name of the process. I think it is done by AJAX, but I am not certain. I use php as the backend code, I just need to find a way to dynamically display the results. Please give suggestions. I forgot the name of the sites that use this, and my link history expired.
TIA
Description:
The page would have a search form and options. After the user submits, the search is initiated, and the results appear inside the dedicated result area. The page does not refresh, just the info inside the result area.
The display area will show 20 (or whatever) results (lines). There will be next, and previous buttons. If you hit next, the next set of results will display.
I am writing a code that generates 20 results for each display. There is no set number of results, so the results might have a start/first page, but do not have an end page.
Each time the user hits 'next', the program would generate/load new results. It would also store previous results, so that when a user hits 'prev', the previous results can instantly come up.
What techniques/program are theses?
Having recently handled pagination with Code Igniter (php framework), the following links might help you and anyone else out:
http://tympanus.net/jPaginate/
http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/93045/
Usability is important and AJAX pagination introduces some important questions that need addressing regarding pagination, the following article will give some usability guidelines for displaying results in a table:
http://thedesignvanguard.com/crud-r-for-read
Code Igniter Prototype Framework Ajax Pagination:
http://codeigniter.com/wiki/AJAX_Pagination_with_CI_Pagination_Library/
Since we're using jQuery, we chose the following, Codeigniter jQuery framework for AJAX pagination
http://tohin.wordpress.com/2008/08/12/codeigniter-ajax-pagination/
http://tohin.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/codeigniter-ajax-pagination-exampleguideline/
It is not AJAX for sure.
Nobody uses AJAX for the pagination.
And there are about zillion pagination examples over internet
The only thing is never described in articles is how to persist search options for the other pages.
But it's simple enough: http_build_query() can help you
You need to have a GET/POST form submitted via AJAX which contains the fields in the search term and page number.
If you are going to set the page size to 20 results, page_num=4 will show results from 61-80 results.
Usually search results are GET instead of POST (Ex: See Google search results ) along with the page_number as another attribute and value.
#IVAN .. good to know that the library came helpful..
About that searching option; check the recent commit in github
http://github.com/neotohin/CodeIgniter-Ajax-pagination-Library there is an additional parameter added for searching.
I think the simple code in readme is enough for understanding the mechanism.
You could use datatables
https://datatables.net/
https://datatables.net/examples/data_sources/server_side.html
With this plugin using jquery also you could use server sided page request , you just have to handle the plugin post using Ajax.
post automatically sends row , page offset column, search criteria you just have to provide the json encode return
and the plugin automatically has library in featuring pagination, search sort number of rows per page and the table formatting.
Needed are jquery, and the plugin css and js for this to work
let me know if you understood my explanation.

I'm building a website using Wordpress. The WP-Events plugin is being used to display a list of upcoming events. What I need is for people to be able to confirm their attendance at any particular event.
WP-Events is a bit awkward in that it's customised using a template that is only able to be edited with the Wordpress admin. I used this template in combination with the Wordpress 'Loop' to generate a form for each event that could be filled in and submitted. I then was going to use jquery to toggle the display of each form as to not make the page massive. This plan collapsed when I wasn't able to implement any form validation.
What I have now is a list of events on one page, and a confirmation form on another. What I now need is to pull the event name, date and location from the selected event, and pass them across for use in the form. The problem is that wordpress' permalink structure doesn't seem to allow me to add a variable (ie. example.php?variable=1 ).
It it possible to do this?
thanks in advance,
Greg.
Unless you modified something, out of the box Wordpress will allow you to use GET variables, because it uses them too (for previewing posts).
If you installed something that removed all of the GET parameters, you might want to uninstall that. But out of the box Wordpress will let you use GET parameters.
I have tried both GET and POST with no effect. If you have PHP processing a GET variable on a WP Page, the URL is:
/page/?variable=something
And PHP is not recognizing this at all.
Use add_query_arg function. Codex.
