In a template file, I need to get the new data from the frontend when a user double-clicks and changes the record on a table. I tested and the console shows that the request is correct, however whatever I tried the admin-Ajax returns always Bad Request!
The PHP code waiting for the request in the template file is:
add_action( "wp_ajax_update_records", "update_records" );
add_action( "wp_ajax_nopriv_please_login", "please_login" );
function update_records(){
global $wpdb;
$colName = "'" . $_POST['upd_column'] . "'";
$wpdb->update('Reservations',
array(
$colName => $_POST['upd_value']
),
array( 'ReservationID' => $_POST['record_id'] )
);
wp_die();
};
function please_login() {
echo "You must log in to work";
die();
}
The jQuery code sending the request is:
jQuery('#work td').dblclick(
function dolly_script() {
var text = jQuery(this).text();
var headerName = jQuery(this).attr('headers');
jQuery(this).text('');
jQuery('<input />').appendTo(jQuery(this)).val(text).select().blur(
function() {
var newVal = jQuery(this).val();
var selectionID = jQuery(this).closest("tr").children("td[headers='ReservationID']").text();
jQuery(this).parent().text(newVal).find('input').remove();
jQuery.ajax({
url: '../wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',
type: 'POST',
dataType : "json",
data: JSON.stringify({
action: 'update_records',
record_id: selectionID,
upd_column: headerName,
upd_value: newVal
})
})
})
});
I tried also without JSON.stringify and without datatype.
In functions file I have also added:
wp_register_script( 'dolly_script', '/wp-content/themes/bootcms/work.js');
$myAjax = array( 'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ) );
wp_localize_script( 'dolly_script', 'ajax_url', $myAjax );
wp_enqueue_script( 'dolly_script' );
Inside the "add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'myfunction' );" declaration.
If anyone could help is hugely appreciated, I spent a whole day but I found no solution.
I solved the problem. Here is the solution in case it helps others:
I moved the PHP function into the functions.php file.
I am new to wordpress and I need to call a php function from ajax but my code is not working. I was reading about the ajax standard in wordpress, but I don't know what happens, I have followed several tutorials and answers in this blog and they all talk about the action to enqueue the javascript file, but the problem continues and I don't know what I'm doing wrong. To continue I share my code.
This is my function to enqueue my javascript file:
function enqueue_script() {
$ajax_script = 'popup';
$uri = get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/assets/front/js/popup.js';
wp_register_script($ajax_script, $uri);
wp_localize_script( $ajax_script, 'ajax_object', array( 'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ) ) );
wp_enqueue_script( $ajax_script, $uri, array('jquery'), rand(111,9999), 'all');
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_script' );
My php function to call, this is in an update_request_status.php file:
function update_status(){
echo "<script>alert('I am update function!!!!');</script>";
}
This is my js action, :
$('.btn-confirm').click(function(){
var url_string = window.location.href;
var url = new URL(url_string);
var request_id = url.searchParams.get("request_id");
$.ajax({
url: ajax_object.ajaxurl,
type: 'POST',
cache: false,
data: { "request_id": request_id } + '&action=change_status',
success:function(data){
alert("YEs I doing");
},
error:function(){
alert("¡Error en el servidor, contancte al administrador!");
}
});
window.location.href = "http://localhost:8081/megafrescos/pendientes";
$('#msg-remove-request').css('display', 'none');
});
And finally, this is my modal with the button that triggers the action to call my php function:
<div class="warning-msg" id="msg-remove-request">
<button class="btn-close" id="btn-close">×</button>
<h5>¿Dar por concluida esta solicitud ? </h5><hr>
<?php echo fix_request()?>
<div class="confirm-btns">
<button class="btn-confirm">Aceptar</button>
<button class="btn-close">Cancelar</button>
</div>
<div class='update-status'></div>
</div>
Can somebody help me?
There are multiple ways to do it. First I'll show the one you were working on.
You'll need to define two actions with wp_ajax_{action} and wp_ajax_nopriv_{action}, where {action} is a placeholder for a keyword to identify the function that needs to be called. The former is only works when users are logged in. The latter is for request from unauthenticated users.
Both hooks should refer to the same function that you are trying to call.
The example below returns either the request_id that has been sent or a string with 'Nothing' as a response, just to test things out.
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_update_status', 'update_status' ) ;
add_action( 'wp_ajax_update_status', 'update_status' );
function update_status() {
$request_id = isset( $_POST[ 'request_id' ) ) ?
$_POST[ 'request_id' ) :
'Nothing';
echo $request_id;
}
The other, and more modern approach is using the REST API. This enables you to create an endpoint where you get more controls over de URL and sanitizing.
Your endpoint would look something like this
https://yourwebsite.com/wp-json/api/v1/update. You can get the static URL to the REST endpoint by using get_rest_url(), like you did with admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ) and should add that to your wp_localize_script function in the enqueue file.
The endpoint checks the methods allowed and calls the callback specified in the options array. From there you can access the $request object which contains info like the given arguments from your request.
Then return a response to read on the frontend.
add_action( 'rest_api_init', 'register_update_endpoint' );
function register_update_endpoint() {
// Register new route to get data from
register_rest_route( 'api/v1', // Mandatory prefix with version
'/update/', // Name of the route, can be anything.
array(
'methods' => array( 'POST' ), // Allowed methods.
'callback' => 'update_status' // Function to call when URL is called.
)
);
function update_status( WP_REST_Request $request ) {
$request_id = $request->has_param( 'request_id' ) ?
$request->get_param( 'request_id' ) :
'Nothing';
$response = new WP_REST_Response( $request_id; );
return $request_id;
}
}
I have the following code which works. (When I press the button "test" is displayed on the input form.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-
core/6.1.19/browser.min.js"></script>
<script>
function btn1() {
document.getElementsByName("admin-status")[0].value = "test";
}
</script>
I want to retrieve the username, so I thought I added it correctly, but it says not defined.
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/babel-
core/6.1.19/browser.min.js"></script>
<script>
global $current_user;
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
function btn1() {
document.getElementsByName("admin-status")[0].value = $current_user;
}
</script>
What am I missing? Thanks. Noob here.
The better way to add localize script
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wp12311_enqueue_scripts' );
function wp12311_enqueue_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'wp12311-scripts', 'your_script_path/test.js', array( 'jquery' ), false, true );
wp_localize_script( 'wp12311-scripts', 'test', array(
'current_user' => wp_get_current_user()
) ) );
}
Now in test.js file you can access current user data like
var displayName = test.current_user.display_name;
You'll probably see a " is undefined" in js console and/or other errors. Note that you forgot the php <?php and ?> around the php code, and the $current_user would be "<?php echo $current_user ?>
If you are doing anything more than one line script you really should enqueue script and then localize script to a variable you can use in js on the page anywhere, not mix php and js!
This question already has answers here:
How to get JavaScript variable value in PHP
(10 answers)
Closed 5 years ago.
So I am helping my friend with his woocommerce WordPress site. He has some short javascript code that needs to be added to the thank you page for the site.
The javascript code takes three variables (totalCost, orderId and setProductId). I can not get to the HTML. So how do I add this code to the PHP and also, how do I access the variables from the PHP and write them into the javascript?
And where in the already existing code should I add it? Is it in the functions.php file for the theme?
I would be super thankful for help!
EDIT:
So would this work?
add_action( 'studentkortet_tracking', 'my_custom_tracking' );
function studentkortet_tracking($order_id){
?>
<script id="pap_x2s6df8d" src="http://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/scripts/trackjs.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
PostAffTracker.setAccountId(’xxxxxx’);
var sale = PostAffTracker.createSale();
sale.setTotalCost('<?php echo ($order->order_total - $order->order_shipping); ?>');
sale.setOrderID('<?php echo $order->id; ?>');
sale.setCurrency('<?php echo $order->get_order_currency(); ?>');
PostAffTracker.register();
</script>
<?php
}
Here is some working code, answered here
<script>
var p1 = "success";
</script>
<?php
echo "<script>document.writeln(p1);</script>";
?>
Here's the correct way of accessing PHP variables within a script. It utilises the function wp_localize_script() so that PHP variables are accessible in a script file. First include this file in your functions.php file
function example_enqueue_scripts() {
if( is_checkout() ) {
$args = array( 'total_cost' => 443, 'order_id' => 4567, 'set_product_id' => 123 );
wp_register_script( 'checkout-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/checkout-script.js' );
wp_localize_script( 'checkout-script', 'checkout_script', $args );
wp_enqueue_script( 'checkout-script' );
}
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'example_enqueue_scripts' );
Then include this javascript in a file under your theme folder called checkout-script.js for example.
(function( $ ) {
'use strict';
$(function() {
var totalCost = checkout_script.total_cost;
var orderId = checkout_script.order_id;
var setProductId = checkout_script.set_product_id;
exampleFunction( totalCost, orderId, setProductId );
function exampleFunction( totalCost, orderId, setProductId ) {
//Do something in here
//alert(totalCost);
}
});
})( jQuery );
I don't know what setProductId is meant to be as a variable, but the hook you are looking for is woocommerce_thankyou. The $order_id is passed by default, which you can then use to grab the order object. Pretty much all the info related to the order can be accessed through the setter/getter methods on the order object.
/**
* Print Javascript on Thankyou page.
* #param int $order_id
*/
function so_47117329_thankyou( $order_id ){
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id ); ?>
<script id="pap_x2s6df8d" src="http://URL_TO_PostAffiliatePro/scripts/trackjs.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
PostAffTracker.setAccountId(’xxxxxx’);
var sale = PostAffTracker.createSale();
sale.setTotalCost('<?php echo $order->get_total() - $order->get_shipping_
(); ?>');
sale.setOrderID('<?php echo $order_id; ?>');
sale.setCurrency('<?php echo $order->get_order_currency(); ?>');
PostAffTracker.register();
</script>
<?php
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'so_47117329_thankyou' );
Editing to add an alternative for enqueuing the scripts as suggested by #Andrew-Schultz. Using the woocommerce_thankyou hook gets you easy access to the $order_id, which would otherwise need to be retrieved from the URL. You will still access the javascript variables as he's shown in his answer.
/**
* Enqueue Javascript on Thankyou page.
* #param int $order_id
*/
function so_47117329_thankyou( $order_id ){
$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
$args = array(
'total_cost' => $order->get_total(),
'order_id' => $order_id,
'set_product_id' => 123
);
wp_register_script( 'checkout-script', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/checkout-script.js', array(), false, true ); // Last parameter loads script in footer
wp_localize_script( 'checkout-script', 'checkout_script', $args );
wp_enqueue_script( 'checkout-script' );
}
add_action( 'woocommerce_thankyou', 'so_47117329_thankyou' );
My ajax call output is always showing 0 as output don't know why
In functions.php I have this code
function get_data() {
$abc = '1';
$result = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM ".$wpdb->options ." WHERE option_name LIKE '_transient_%'");
echo $result; //returning this value but still shows 0
wp_die();
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_get_data', 'get_data' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_get_data', 'get_data' );
And my ajax call is in a javascript
$('body').on("click", ".re-reset-btn", function(e){
var panel = $('#re-compare-bar');
$.ajax({
type : "GET",
dataType : "json",
url : "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php",
data : {action: "get_data"},
success: function(response) {
alert("Your vote could not be added");
alert(response);
}
});
$("#re-compare-bar-tabs div").remove();
$('.re-compare-icon-toggle .re-compare-notice').text(0);
});
I'm making ajax call in wordpress without use of plugin but not getting what I'm passing.Even If I output $abc still it shows 0.
In backend there is global ajaxurl variable defined by WordPress itself.
This variable is not created by WP in frontend. It means that if you want to use AJAX calls in frontend, then you have to define such variable by yourself.
Good way to do this is to use wp_localize_script.
Let's assume your AJAX calls are in my-ajax-script.js file, then add wp_localize_script for this JS file like so:
function my_enqueue() {
wp_enqueue_script( 'ajax-script', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/my-ajax-script.js', array('jquery') );
wp_localize_script( 'ajax-script', 'my_ajax_object', array( 'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ) ) );
}
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue' );
After localizing your JS file, you can use my_ajax_object object in your JS file:
jQuery.ajax({
type: "post",
dataType: "json",
url: my_ajax_object.ajax_url,
data: formData,
success: function(msg){
console.log(msg);
}
});
Actually, WordPress comes with a handy function to access admin-ajax.
Requirements
In wp-admin you do not need to do anything, the js library is always loaded
In the front-end you need to enqueue the script wp-util, like this:
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_enqueue_function' );
function my_enqueue_function() {
// Option 1: Manually enqueue the wp-util library.
wp_enqueue_script( 'wp-util' );
// Option 2: Make wp-util a dependency of your script (usually better).
wp_enqueue_script( 'my-script', 'my-script.js', [ 'wp-util' ] );
}
The JS Library
The wp-util script contains the wp.ajax object that you can use to make ajax requests:
wp.ajax.post( action, data ).done( okCallback ).fail( errCallback )
Your example:
wp.ajax.post( "get_data", {} )
.done(function(response) {
alert("Your vote could not be added");
alert(response);
});
PHP code
Of course, you still need to create the wp_ajax_* hooks in your PHP script.
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_get_data', 'my_ajax_handler' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_get_data', 'my_ajax_handler' );
function my_ajax_handler() {
wp_send_json_success( 'It works' );
}
Tip:
For Ajax responses WordPress provides two functions:
wp_send_json_success( $my_data ) and wp_send_json_error( $my_data ) - both functions return a JSON object and instantly terminate the request (i.e., they exit;)
I had the same problem. I was new to WordPress. Therefore, I am explaining here so that every new learner can understand how ajax is calling in WordPress.
First, create a function in function.php file that resides under wp-content/theme/selected_theme folder. Here, selected_theme maybe your theme name.
In the above question, a function is created with the name get_data();
function get_data() {
echo "test";
wp_die(); //die();
}
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_get_data', 'get_data' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_get_data', 'get_data' );
in the above two lines,
The add_action method is used to implement the hook. Here, I am passing the two parameters, first is wp_ajax_nopriv_get_data. Here, you can replace get_data with your choice. and the section parameter is get_data which is the function name that you want to call.
In the second add_action, I am passing the two parameters, first is wp_ajax_get_data. Here, you can replace get_data with your choice. and the section parameter is get_data which is the function name that you want to call.
Here, wp_ajax_nopriv call if the user is not logged in and wp_ajax called when the user is logged in.
jQuery.ajax({
type: "post",
dataType: "json",
url: "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php", //this is wordpress ajax file which is already avaiable in wordpress
data: {
action:'get_data', //this value is first parameter of add_action
id: 4
},
success: function(msg){
console.log(msg);
}
});
Add admin-ajax.php by using admin_url('admin-ajax.php');
<script type="text/javascript">
$('body').on("click", ".re-reset-btn", function(e){
var panel = $('#re-compare-bar');
$.ajax({
type : "POST",
dataType : "json",
url : "<?php echo admin_url('admin-ajax.php'); ?>",
data : {action: "get_data"},
success: function(response) {
alert("Your vote could not be added");
alert(response);
}
});
$("#re-compare-bar-tabs div").remove();
$('.re-compare-icon-toggle .re-compare-notice').text(0);
});
</script>
<form type="post" action="" id="newCustomerForm">
<label for="name">Name:</label>
<input name="name" type="text" />
<label for="email">Email:</label>
<input name="email" type="text" />
<label for="phone">Phone:</label>
<input name="phone" type="text" />
<label for="address">Address:</label>
<input name="address" type="text" />
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="addCustomer"/>
<input type="submit">
</form>
<br/><br/>
<div id="feedback"></div>
<br/><br/>
functions.php
wp_enqueue_script('jquery');
function addCustomer() {
global $wpdb;
$name = $_POST['name'];
$phone = $_POST['phone'];
$email = $_POST['email'];
$address = $_POST['address'];
if ( $wpdb->insert( 'customers', array(
'name' => $name,
'email' => $email,
'address' => $address,
'phone' => $phone
) ) === false ) {
echo 'Error';
} else {
echo "Customer '".$name. "' successfully added, row ID is ".$wpdb->insert_id;
}
die();
}
add_action('wp_ajax_addCustomer', 'addCustomer');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_addCustomer', 'addCustomer');
javascript
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery('#newCustomerForm').submit(ajaxSubmit);
function ajaxSubmit() {
var newCustomerForm = jQuery(this).serialize();
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php",
data: newCustomerForm,
success: function(data){
jQuery("#feedback").html(data);
}
});
return false;
}
</script>
If you are getting 0 in the response, it means your ajax call is working correctly.
But, you have not defined $wpdb as a global variable in your function get_data.
Check your error log, you must be seeing error there.
Try:
function get_data() {
global $wpdb;
$abc = '1';
$result = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT * FROM ".$wpdb->options ." WHERE option_name LIKE '_transient_%'");
echo $result; //returning this value but still shows 0
wp_die();
}
Step 1: Add ajax 'wp_enqueue_script' file in function file where you have to add other 'wp_enqueue_script' or 'wp_enqueue_style' files
wp_enqueue_script( 'ajax-script', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/my-ajax- script.js', array('jquery') );
wp_localize_script( 'ajax-script', 'my_ajax_object', array( 'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ) ) );
Step 2:Now you need to create function, where you want to get response, using ajax
e.g below
add_action('wp_footer','add_ajaxex_in_footer');
function add_ajaxex_in_footer()
{ ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery('#sbmtbtn').click(function(){
jQuery.ajax({
type:"POST",
url:my_ajax_object.ajax_url,
data: {action:'my_special_ajax_call_enroll_cours'},
success:function(res){
console.log(res);
}
});
});</script><?php
}
Step 3: Now you have to create function where you have to write query,
add_action('wp_ajax_my_special_ajax_call_enroll_cours', 'enroll_cours');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_my_special_ajax_call_enroll_cours', 'enroll_cours');
function enroll_cours()
{
echo "Here you van write Query or anything";
exit;
}
=> If you want to fire ajax request after onClick button, just pass the button ID
<input type="button" id="sbmtbtn" name="Save">
Here how to make in plain vanilla js the AJAX call in WordPress.
var urlToajax=jsajaxe_S.ajaxurl;
function P_lifg(){
var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (this.readyState == 4 && this.status == 200) {
document.getElementById("demo").innerHTML = this.responseText;
document.getElementById("demo2").innerHTML = urlToajax+ "?action=testfirst";
}
};
xmlhttp.open("GET", urlToajax+ "?action=testfirst", true);
xmlhttp.send(0);
}
See on this blog, what to add functions.php and template html to get this work, also reasonings why there is no data in vanilja js unlike jQuery, but just action
Here add_actions in functions.php:
add_action( 'wp_ajax_testfirst', __NAMESPACE__ .'\\FunctionTF' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_testfirst', __NAMESPACE__ .'\\FunctionTF');
Add this function over that, here now this function:
function FunctionTF(){
exit( "Hola hola" );
}
See explanation why? code in "exit" in my blog
Here add this html on some wp-template
<div id="demo"></div>
<div id="demo2"></div>
<button id="spesial_button" onclick="P_lifg()">I am spesial</button>
