Question : How to create ajax with wordpress and get response in javascript variable?

Sisir

this is a very common question. did you try searching google?

Ashish Kakkad

Yes

Sisir

and?

Ashish Kakkad

I found something but not understanding I am new in WP.

Sisir

try this query

Ashish Kakkad

05:28

Thanks but I have seen this.
I already have coded jquery with $.ajax I need responce in javascript variable. Need to change the code to wordpress ajax.

Sisir

you always get the response on js variable under the success callback on $.ajax()

Ashish Kakkad

$.ajax directly work with wordpress??

Sisir

yes.. why not

Ashish Kakkad

I am getting error about from googleapis jquery can not be included in wp.

Sisir

also note you will need to send all ajax request to http://mysite.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php

Ashish Kakkad

05:37

can you give me a simple example of jqurey ajax with wordpress

Sisir

i see.. your problem is using jquery with WP, not ajax. basically you will need to do is

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    // Inside of this function, $() will work as an alias for jQuery()
    // and other libraries also using $ will not be accessible under this shortcut
});

notice the $ on function()

$(document).ready() will not work

Ashish Kakkad

I need $.ajax too, it working with this code??

and it works with .php file or I need to create a .js file ??

Thanks for suggestions. Please reply about this.

@Sisir

Sisir

$.ajax will work once you pass the $ via ready() function

i do not understand the second question..

Ashish Kakkad

this code works in PHP file?

inside <script> </script> <?php ?>

Sisir

yes, it will but you have to make sure jquery file is added before the <script> tag. otherwise it will show jQuery undefined

Ashish Kakkad

05:50

how to add this jquery file?

I think I am asking silly questions

Sisir

google search for 'wordpress enqueue script'

Ashish Kakkad

wp_enqueue_script("jquery");

This one?

Sisir

yes, but better you add your custom script via registering then enqueue. see examples

if you are new wp. You should start from codex. Take couple of hours to read.. always helps when you read documentations..

Ashish Kakkad

Ok, Thanks for help

hello

kaiser

@Rarst is this meant to be the QP replacement from core guys?

Stephen Harris

Prefer QP

kaiser

me too

Rarst

yes

what do you prefer for my infromation?

toscho

@kaiser you are aware, both are written by Rarst?

kaiser

yes

Rarst

12:01

much less of it in reference actually

kaiser

"less of it in reference"?

Rarst

less of being written by me

kaiser

iirc you wrote the parser?

Rarst

nope

kaiser

what part then?

Stephen Harris

12:02

@Rarst In short: Easier on the eye. Links to GitHub.

I like the "show source in full".

Rarst

mostly merging pull requests, saying thank you, and otherwise being poster of giving a shit

kaiser

hehe

Rarst

you know in how short supply these things are in WP :)

Stephen Harris

@Rarst specifically searching. The spacing means the functions almost bleed into one another. The fact that syntax highlighting is used drags attention away from the function name.

I.e. queryposts.com/?s=cache vs developer.wordpress.org/… - QP has more data, yet its easier to take in.

Tom J Nowell

12:18

the wp developer reference isnt as polished/consistent

the alignment of widths is off on the main page, the archives look unfinished and have little context, with a super low information density

no search box on the archives, and query posts has the super handy autocompleting searchbox

also no 'similar functions'

Wyck

12:35

I agree, always use query posts because it link to github

toscho

14:39

Boy, I hate spammers!

kaiser

14:54

@toscho come one. give them a chance :D

Stephen Harris

15:44

So ThemeForest elite theme and...

<?php
	if ( get_post_type() == 'post' )
	{
		get_template_part( 'single', 'post' );
	}
	elseif ( get_post_type() == 'portfolio' )
	{
		get_template_part( 'single', 'portfolio' );
	}
	elseif ( get_post_type() == 'gallery' )
	{
		get_template_part( 'single', 'gallery' );
	}
?>

that's in single.php

why.

mebu83

omg I am a newbie and I would just create files called portfolio-single.php, gallery-single.php

why indeed

Stephen Harris

@mebu83 actually get_templart_part() will use single-gallery.php. The stupid thing is that portfolios and galleries will go straight to single-{post type}.php. All this does is white screen any other post type.

Rarst

I am never doing any themeing without template inheritance again :) the amount of sanity it brings into the process is unbelievable

Wyck

all you have to say is "themeforest"..

mebu83

Well lessons learned (it's type-slug syntax, and no need to add elaborate clauses if you do it right)

kaiser

16:23

@StephenHarris get_template_part() will give you an error - missing argument ;)

Stephen Harris

@kaiser :P

Rarst

18:17

seems Panda rush is over, WPSE traffic slightly down

Rarst

19:20

btw on topic of WP references check out hookr.io current top dog pretty much

mebu83

may I bother you guys with a totally random wp unrelated question?

but still coding related

Rarst

just ask, saves time

mebu83

I am modifying a slider to use in a wp site. The customer claims that he can see a clear change in the color of the image

more green, more yellow

did you guys ever encounter something like this?

Rarst

had you measured if color is actually changing?

mebu83

let me do that just now, brb

yes

it changed

Rarst

19:40

see, we had established client is not delusional :) now go google why the heck slider is doing that

mebu83

will do, thanks for the clarity

Rarst

if it's resized might be lossy recompression. if not might be overlay of some kind.

mebu83

he said as well that in fullscreen it looks good

(already measuring that)

ungestaltbar

19:58

@mebu83 check the color profile of the original and the resized version

mebu83

both rgb, both 8 bits/ channel

ungestaltbar

what kind if rgb is the question :)

if the original is AdobeRGB and the resized version is sRGB you found the cause

mebu83

I am pretty newbie, so I am sorry if you have to lead me to the answer, checking tha tright now

ok one is AdobeRGB

checking the other

I think that's it, an exif viewer determines one as AdobeRGB the other gives me "WARNING: No color-space metadata and no embedded color profile: Windows and Mac web browsers treat colors randomly."

I guess that's it

ungestaltbar

20:26

@mebu83 can you see/check if the imagick (imagemagick) extension is available in your php version? phpinfo()?

mebu83

of course, just a second

ungestaltbar

but it looks like it is not. no color space on the resized version indicates that GD is used. Imagemagick handles conversion much better..well i don't know how the wordpress imagick class handles it.

ok, it's not.

mebu83

so without that extension, wordpress will always create slightly falsified colors when resizing

so the best cause of action would be to provide the images in srgb?

ungestaltbar

i guess the solution is to manually convert the color space on the original before it gets uploaded with photoshop or something similar

:)

Rarst

imagick is pretty staple though

ungestaltbar

20:31

well it's not wordpress it's GD which does it wrong

mebu83

sorry you are right of course

askking the hoster to add the imagick extension wont happen how I see it

ungestaltbar

most of the time it's wordpress fault, this is an exception :)

mebu83

LOL

ialocin

Rarst

@mebu83 why the heck not?..

ungestaltbar

20:36

PHP Version 5.2.17

2

Rarst

duuuude

run away?

ungestaltbar

time machine

why do so many hoster apparently refuse to update their stuff?

Wyck

why is is that everytime I try to edit wordpress the host is using an old ass version of php - fuk that

Rarst

updating risks ancient shit code breaking and costing money, not upgrading costs nothing

ungestaltbar

it's possible to server different versions

toscho

20:40

almost all German hosters offer 5.5 now, even the shitty ones

ungestaltbar

and let the client decide, no voodoo

Wyck

obscure sagat house music quote ^ don't think anyone got it

Rarst

clients don't care. those who do would never touch host running 5.2 in first place

ungestaltbar

good point

mebu83

@rarst I thought changing php extensions would affect all of the installed clients on at least that vServer

Wyck

20:41

many huge shared hosts are actually owned by the same shit company , google Endurance International Group

Rarst

if WP cut off 5.2 we would see hilarious update rush, alas

@mebu83 it depends on how PHP is run. as Apache module yes, as CGI it's isolated (can even run multiple PHP versions for same account)

mebu83

@rarst @ungestaltbar I should run away, indeed! Well I have one client that runs 5.1.x

ungestaltbar

this is not funny

Wyck

the funny part is that the greater PHP community blames outdated hosting on wordpress and they are somewhat right

Rarst

blame is too harsh, but definitely meek inaction

Wyck

20:45

risk management

ungestaltbar

bad service

Rarst

right now WP is having a fit about PHP development accelerating. harder to claim "it's ok" about obsolete versions.

Wyck

the risk of losing clients from breaking sites is far greater then gaining clients from php versions.

ungestaltbar

wonder what should break. wordpress has built-in cross compatibility to almost everything between 1990-2035

Rarst

latest version does. plenty people also run outdated version of WP with worse compat to newer PHP.

Wyck

20:50

the api will free us all !

mebu83

Our saviour?

Wyck

our lord javascript

ungestaltbar

yeah my node/angular version of wordpress is almost done

Rarst

it will really get harder to keep good face about PHP versions. 2011-2014 they been "only" one version behind from stable. now they are suddenly two, next spring they are three.

mebu83

@ungestaltbar if that isn't a joke I am truly impressed

Rarst

20:52

doing chat's tag line right... :D

ungestaltbar

stop being impressed

mebu83

stop being impressed, why?

kaiser

see chat tag line

Is there a reliable way to make you guys forget my blunder?

Writing lol is not humor.

Wyck

toscho

I saw that coming

kaiser

171 lol by @Rarst vs 0 lol by @toscho

I saw that coming

ialocin

isn't it supposed to be the response to it

not so familiar with the "new" lingo though..

kaiser

@userabuser has 505 lol

toscho

21:01

how embarrassing

kaiser

I'm pretty sure you even have a client side filter to not use words that contain lol in the middle of the word.
