AJAX call not firing - php

In the below code from my .js file, the first function save_audition is working great. The second one, which I just copy/pasted and changed some variables is not,f or some reason. I've done some troubleshooting and ruled out my .php file (which works fine when called manually) as well as the .html and determined that this script just isn't firing for some reason.
This is my first ever project using AJAX, so it could be something very simple, not sure. FYI, I'm working within Wordpress's AJAX framework using admin-ajax.php
EDIT: Here is a pastebin to the main plugin file: http://pastebin.com/AaJ6QqTx
Here is the code from the .js file. The first on('click') event (save_audition) is working fine, the 2nd (hide_audition) is working in the sense the return false; works to prevent the link from firing, but the actual AJAX click event isn't happening.
//Save (or remove) an audition from the user's saved auditions meta using ajax
$('.save-audition').on('click', function() {
var post_id = $(this).attr('data-post_id');
var nonce = $(this).attr('data-nonce');
var clicked = $(this);
$.ajax({
type : 'post',
dataType : 'json',
url : myAjax.ajaxurl, //we can use this value because in our php file we used wp_localize_script
data : {action: 'tps_save_audition', post_id : post_id, nonce: nonce},
success: function(response) {
$('#alerts').append('<div class="alert"><div class="alert-icon"><i class="fa fa-exclamation"></i></div><div class="alert-message">'+response.message+'</div><div class="close"><i class="fa fa-close"></i></div></div>');
$('#alerts .alert').fadeIn(400);
if(response.type == 'success') {
clicked.children('span').children('.fa-stack-2x').addClass('fa-check');
clicked.children('span').children('.fa-stack-1x').addClass('saved');
} else if (response.type = 'removed') {
clicked.children('span').children('.fa-stack-2x').removeClass('fa-check');
clicked.children('span').children('.fa-stack-1x').removeClass('saved');
} else {
alert(response.message);
}
}
})
return false;
});
//Hide an audition from the user's view by saving it as user_meta
$('.hide-audition').on('click', function() {
var post_id = $(this).attr('data-post_id');
var nonce = $(this).attr('data-nonce');
var clicked = $(this);
$.ajax({
type : 'post',
dataType : 'json',
url : myAjax.ajaxurl, //we can use this value because in our php file we used wp_localize_script
data : {action: 'tps_hide_audition', post_id : post_id, nonce: nonce},
success: function(response) {
$('#alerts').append('<div class="alert"><div class="alert-icon"><i class="fa fa-exclamation"></i></div><div class="alert-message">'+response.message+'</div><div class="close"><i class="fa fa-close"></i></div></div>');
$('#alerts .alert').fadeIn(400);
if(response.type == 'success') {
clicked.children('i').css('color', 'red');
} else {
alert(response.message);
}
}
})
return false;
});

OK well, as usual it comes down to a stupid coder error. In my html I had TWO elements with the class "hide-audition" by accident and that was breaking it.
I guess I'll leave this question up for others as a reminder to comb through every piece of code carefully while troubleshooting.

Wordpress Ajax call only works with console.log debugging

So I am building a user profile section in front-end Wordpress, and loading different content dynamically in jQuery tabs to break up the UI a bit. I early on switched from loading this all in on page load to using ajax to call in the php files for the user profile only on demand.
This was not working so I added a console.log to the success action to see what is going on. Funnily this function works to load in the php files, but ONLY IF I have console.log enabled. To be clear, when I check the network tab under XHR requests, both with console.log and without console.log I get a 200 status back from the server, it just doesn't render if I am not declaring that success action to the console.
Any ideas why?
$('.profileTabs ul li a').click(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var tab_id = $(this).attr('id');
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: cyberAjax.ajaxurl,
dataType: 'html',
data: ({
action: 'ajax_load_tabs', id: tab_id
}),
success: function(data){
$('#tab'+tab_id).html(data);
console.log( $('#tab-'+tab_id).html(data) );
},
error: function(data)
{
alert("Error!");
return false;
}
});
});
For reference, my approach was influenced by this article.
So I have the below in my functions.php - this all works with console.log so I don't think the cause lies here:
function ajax_load_tabs() {
$tab_id = $_GET['id'];
if ($tab_id == 'ui-id-7') {get_template_part( '/page-templates/dashboard/broker-dashboard', 'onboarding' );}
elseif ($tab_id == 'ui-id-8') {get_template_part( '/page-templates/dashboard/broker-dashboard', 'tasks' );}
elseif ($tab_id == 'ui-id-9') {get_template_part( '/page-templates/dashboard/broker-dashboard', 'incidents' );}
die();
}
add_action('wp_ajax_ajax_load_tabs', 'ajax_load_tabs');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_ajax_load_tabs', 'ajax_load_tabs');

Issue with using a value in JQuery/Javascript

I have a PHP populated table from Mysql and I am using JQuery to listen if a button is clicked and if clicked it will grab notes on the associated name that they clicked. It all works wonderful, there is just one problem. Sometimes when you click it and the dialog(JQuery UI) window opens, there in the text area there is nothing. If you are to click it again it will pop back up. So it seems sometimes, maybe the value is getting thrown out? I am not to sure and could use a hand.
Code:
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".NotesAccessor").click(function () {
notes_name = $(this).parent().parent().find(".user_table");
run();
});
});
function run(){
var url = '/pcg/popups/grabnotes.php';
showUrlInDialog(url);
sendUserfNotes();
}
function showUrlInDialog(url)
{
var tag = $("#dialog-container");
$.ajax({
url: url,
success: function(data) {
tag.html(data).dialog
({
width: '100%',
modal: true
}).dialog('open');
}
});
}
function sendUserfNotes()
{
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
url: '/pcg/popups/getNotes.php',
data:
{
'nameNotes': notes_name.text()
},
success: function(response) {
$('#notes_msg').text(response.the_notes)
}
});
}
function getNewnotes(){
new_notes = $('#notes_msg').val();
update(new_notes);
}
// if user updates notes
function update(new_notes)
{
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
//dataType: "json",
url: '/pcg/popups/updateNotes.php',
data:
{
'nameNotes': notes_name.text(),
'newNotes': new_notes
},
success: function(response) {
alert("Notes Updated.");
var i;
$("#dialog-container").effect( 'fade', 500 );
i = setInterval(function(){
$("#dialog-container").dialog( 'close' );
clearInterval(i);
}, 500);
}
});
}
/******is user closes notes ******/
function closeNotes()
{
var i;
$("#dialog-container").effect( 'fade', 500 );
i = setInterval(function(){
$("#dialog-container").dialog( 'close' );
clearInterval(i);
}, 500);
}
Let me know if you need anything else!
UPDATE:
The basic layout is
<div>
<div>
other stuff...
the table
</div>
</div>
Assuming that #notes_msg is located in #dialog-container, you would have to make sure that the actions happen in the correct order.
The best way to do that, is to wait for both ajax calls to finish and continue then. You can do that using the promises / jqXHR objects that the ajax calls return, see this section of the manual.
You code would look something like (you'd have to test it...):
function run(){
var url = '/pcg/popups/grabnotes.php';
var tag = $("#dialog-container");
var promise1 = showUrlInDialog(url);
var promise2 = sendUserfNotes();
$.when(promise1, promise2).done(function(data1, data2) {
// do something with the data returned from both functions:
// check to see what data1 and data2 contain, possibly the content is found
// in data1[2].responseText and data2[2].responseText
// stuff from first ajax call
tag.html(data1).dialog({
width: '100%',
modal: true
}).dialog('open');
// stuff from second ajax call, will not fail because we just added the correct html
$('#notes_msg').text(data2.the_notes)
});
}
The functions you are calling, should just return the result of the ajax call and do not do anything else:
function showUrlInDialog(url)
{
return $.ajax({
url: url
});
}
function sendUserfNotes()
{
return $.ajax({
type: "POST",
dataType: "json",
url: '/pcg/popups/getNotes.php',
data: {
'nameNotes': notes_name.text()
}
});
}
It's hard to tell from this, especially without the mark up, but both showUrlInDialog and sendUserfNotes are asynchronous actions. If showUrlInDialog finished after sendUserfNotes, then showUrlInDialog overwrites the contents of the dialog container with the data returned. This may or may not overwrite what sendUserfNotes put inside #notes_msg - depending on how the markup is laid out. If that is the case, then it would explains why the notes sometimes do not appear, seemingly randomly. It's a race condition.
There are several ways you can chain your ajax calls to keep sendUserOfNotes() from completing before ShowUrlInDialog(). Try using .ajaxComplete()
jQuery.ajaxComplete
Another ajax chaining technique you can use is to put the next call in the return of the first. The following snippet should get you on track:
function ShowUrlInDialog(url){
$.get(url,function(data){
tag.html(data).dialog({width: '100%',modal: true}).dialog('open');
sendUserOfNotes();
});
}
function sendUserOfNotes(){
$.post('/pcg/popups/getNotes.php',{'nameNotes': notes_name.text()},function(response){
$('#notes_msg').text(response.the_notes)
},"json");
}
James has it right. ShowUrlInDialog() sets the dialog's html and sendUserOfNotes() changes an element's content within the dialog. Everytime sendUserOfNotes() comes back first ShowUrlInDialog() wipes out the notes. The promise example by jeroen should work too.

Wordpress - fetch user info using jQuery ajax POST request

I am working in Wordpress trying to use an ajax request to fetch user data by passing the user id.
I can see that the user id sends correctly via AJAX POST but I am getting an internal error message and I don't know why.
At first I thought it was because I was trying to fetch some custom fields that I had added to the user profile but even when I simplified my script I am still getting the error message.
Any help is much appreciated!
Front End
$('.author').click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var temp = id.split('-');
id = temp[1];
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: 'wp-content/themes/twentyeleven/author_info.php',
data: {id: id},
dataType: 'html',
success: function(data) {
$('#author-bio').html(data);
}
});
return false;
});
author_info.php
$user_id = $_POST['id'];
$forename = get_the_author_meta('user_firstname', $user_id);
$output = $user_id;
echo $output;
Error Message
500 (Internal Server Error) jquery.min.js:4
Mathieu added a hackable approach to intercepting a request and redirecting it, which is fine. I prefer to build out AJAX responses that return json_encoded arrays.
$('.author').click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var temp = id.split('-');
id = temp[1];
$.ajax({
url: 'http://absolute.path/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',
data: {'action' : 'ajax_request', 'fn': 'getAuthorMeta', 'id': id},
dataType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
//We expect a JSON encoded array here, not an HTML template.
}
});
return false;
});
Now we build out the function to handle our ajax requests.
First, we need to define our ajax add_action method ->
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_ajax_request', 'ajax_handle_request');
add_action('wp_ajax_ajax_request', 'ajax_handle_request');
We need to use both add_action lines here. I won't get into why. You'll notice the _ajax_request here. This is the 'action' that we sent over in our AJAX function data: {'action' : 'ajax_request'}. We use this hook to validate our AJAX request, it can be anything you'd like.
Next, we'll need to build out or function ajax_handle_request.
function ajax_handle_request(){
switch($_REQUEST['fn']){
case 'getAuthorMeta':
$output = ajax_get_author_meta($_REQUEST['id']);
break;
default:
$output = 'That is not a valid FN parameter. Please check your string and try again';
break;
}
$output = json_encode($output);
if(is_array($output)){
return $output;
}else{
echo $output;
}
}
Now let's build our function to actually get the author meta.
function ajax_get_author_meta($id){
$theMeta = get_the_author_meta([meta_option], $id);
return $theMeta;
}
Where [meta_option] is a field provided by WP's native get_the_author_meta function.
At this point, we'll now go back to our success:function(data) and (data) is a reference to the json_encoded array we've returned. We can now iterate over the object to get our fields and output them into the page as you'd like.
You are not in a POST at that moment because you are calling a specific page of your template that probably doesn't correspond to any article in your blog.
Instead, create a pluggin that will do this:
add_action('template_redirect', 'my_author_meta_intercept');
function my_author_meta_intercept(){
if(isset($_POST['getAuthorMeta'])){
echo get_the_author_meta('user_firstname', $_POST['getAuthorMeta']);
exit();
}
}
This will short circuit the request to the same page as before when you call it using:
http://mysite/mycurrenturl?getAuthorMeta=testMetaKey
So calling that post normally will return the article as usual, but if you pass in ?getAuthorMeta, it will stop the template from being selected and simply return the exact content you want it to return.
In your page, you just have to change your javascript to:
$('.author').click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var temp = id.split('-');
id = temp[1];
$.ajax({
type: 'POST',
url: window.location.href,
data: {getAuthorMeta: id},
success: function(data) {
$('#author-bio').html(data);
}
});
return false;
});
Just make sure you adapt the concept to what you need!
I would rather recommend you to use WP AJAX action method.
As in your case, add the following to your functions.php file.
add_action('wp_ajax_get_user_info', 'ajax_get_user_info');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_get_user_info', 'ajax_get_user_info');
function ajax_get_user_info() {
//Handle request then generate response using WP_Ajax_Response or your html.
}
then in javascript tag.
$('.author').click(function() {
var id = $(this).attr('id');
var temp = id.split('-');
id = temp[1];
jQuery.post(
ajaxurl, /* if you get error of undefined ajaxurl. set it to "http://example.com/wordpress/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php"*/
{
'action':'get_user_info',
'user_id':id
},
function(response){
alert('The server responded: ' + response);
}
);
});
I would recommend you to read the 5 tips for using AJAX in WordPress.
p.s; Code above is not tested, it may have errors. but you get the idea.

How can I add the content of a page in a div with Ajax?

I have a list in my site, and when I click each of the list items, I want the div next to them to reload with ajax, so as not to reload the whole page.
Here is my javascript
parameters = "category_id="+categoryId;
var result = ajaxFunction("changeCategory.php", parameters);
$("#mydiv").html(result);
The ajaxFunction() function is the regular $.ajax() jQuery function, with "POST". In the "changeCategory.php" I call with include another php file.
The problem is that the whole page is reloaded instead of only the div. I want to use this ajax function I have, cause I want to send data to my php file.
Does anyone know what should I do to reload only the div?
Thanks in advance
Try this
$(document).ready(function(){
var parameters = {category_id:categoryId};
$.ajax({
url:'changeCategory.php',
type:'post',
data:parameters,
dataType:'html',
success:function(result){
$("#mydiv").html(result);
},
error:function(){
alert('Error in loading [itemid]...');
}
});
});
Also verify that when in your click event this line is written or not return false; This is required.
Try using load to load the div with the url contents -
$("#mydiv").load("changeCategory.php", {category_id: "category_id_value"} );
You can pass data to the url.
The POST method is used if data is provided as an object; otherwise, GET is assumed.
you could send a query to that PHP so it "understands" that it needs to output only the div, like this:
in your javascript:
//add the query here
parameters = "category_id="+categoryId + "&type=divonly";
var result = ajaxFunction("changeCategory.php", parameters);
$("#mydiv").html(result);
in your "changeCategory.php":
//add a query check:
$type = "";
if (isset($_POST['type'])) {
$type = $_POST['type'];
}
//then, depending on the type, output only the div:
if($type === "divonly"){
//output the div only;
} else {
//your normal page
}
$(document).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
url: "right.php",
type: "POST",
data: {},
cache: false,
success: function (response) {
$('#right_description').html(response);
}
});
});
The whole page is reloaded that means there may be an error in your javascript code
check it again
or try this one
function name_of_your_function(id)
{
var html = $.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: "ajax_main_sectors.php",
data: "sec="+id,
async: false
}).responseText;
document.getElementById("your div id").innerHTML=html;
}
you can use get method or post method....

One function to load varrious php pages with jQuery and AJAX

I have the following code that i need some help with, i am trying achieve the same thing with jQuery. I have found some solutions that come close but as yet i am still searching for the perfect solution.
function getData(dataSource, divID)
{
if(XMLHttpRequestObject) {
var obj = document.getElementById(divID);
XMLHttpRequestObject.open("GET", dataSource);
XMLHttpRequestObject.onreadystatechange = function()
{
if (XMLHttpRequestObject.readyState == 4 &&
XMLHttpRequestObject.status == 200) {
obj.innerHTML = XMLHttpRequestObject.responseText;
}
}
XMLHttpRequestObject.send(null);
}
}
Right now i am triggering the function with:
<input type = "button" value = "TEST" onclick = "getData('subject_selectAJAX.php?course_id=1', 'ajax')">
I would like to achieve the same thing with jQuery. I think the following function although wrong gets close, my problem is that the url changes depending on where the user is within the course. course_select.php is initially loaded into the #ajax div, which then would be replaced with subject_select.php?course_id="whatever" followed by topic_select.php?subject_id="whatever"
function getData() {
//generate the parameter for the php script
$.ajax({
url: "something.php", //i want this to be passed to the function
type: "GET",
data: data,
cache: false,
success: function (html) {
//add the content retrieved from ajax and put it in the #ajax div
$('#ajax').html(html);
//display the body with fadeIn transition
$('#ajax').fadeIn('slow');
}
});
}
I would love some help with this, i'm currently getting confused pretty sure it is something that would help other Ajax jQuery newbies.
This seems to work although i'm sure it could be much cleaner and i would still like to add some sort of loading graphic for slower connections.
<script type="text/javascript">
function getData( url, id ){
$.ajax({
type: "GET",
url: url,
data: "id=" + id,
cache: false,
success: function(html){
$('#ajax').hide();
//add the content retrieved from ajax and put it in the #content div
$('#ajax').html(html);
//display the body with fadeIn transition
$('#ajax').fadeIn('fast');
})
};
</script>
