I have been delving into the world of Javascript and AJAX. I am super close, but for some reason I do not think I am hooking into wordpress ajax functions right. I have poured through the docs and this and think it is 99% there.
Is what this app does is there is a list of items. Each one with a + button. Clicking the button pops up a confirm box, and if confirmed grabs the needed data to pass to the php. The php adds the item into mysql with wpdb->insert. It also does some changes if you buy.
The js works all the way up to the call, grabbing the right values etc. Testing the php separately works as well if I hard code the values it is supposed to grab from POST. So I KNOW both pieces run, I just can't get the js to call the ajax api right. Can someone please take a look at this and let me know how to hook these together so the ajax call actually runs the php?
Here is the code.
<?php
add_action( 'admin_footer', 'addItemAJAX_javascript' );
function addItemAJAX_javascript() {
$adminAJAX = admin_url('admin-ajax.php');
?>
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
$(function() {
$( "input[name=btnAddItem]" )
.button()
.click(function( event ) {
event.preventDefault();
var confirmAction = confirm('Are you sure you want to add this item to your character?');
if (confirmAction==true) {
// build data for AJAX call
var cID = $('#hdnCharID').val();
cID = cID*1;
var charMoney = $('#hdnCharMoney').val();
var thisValue = $(this).val();
var iID = $(this).prev('input[id="hdnItemID"]').val()
iID = iID*1;
//Add or Buy Item
if (thisValue != "+") {
var buy = 1;
}
else {
var buy = 0;
}
var ajaxurl = <?php echo json_encode($adminAJAX); ?>;
console.log('cID = ' + cID);
console.log('charMoney = ' + charMoney);
console.log('thisValue = ' + thisValue);
console.log('iID = ' + iID);
console.log('buy = ' + buy);
console.log('ajaxurl = ' + ajaxurl);
var data = {
action: 'addItemAJAX',
charID: cID,
itemID: iID,
buyItem: buy
};
console.log('data = ' + data);
console.log(data);
//WP ajax call
$.post(ajaxurl, data, function(response) {
alert('Got this from the server: ' + response);
});
}
else {
console.log('add item aborted');
}
});
});
</script>

I am pretty sure it is 1 (or 2) of 2 things. I am not sure if I am hooking these functions to wordpress right. Or there might be issues with nested functions I have for the jQuery button. I doubt it is number 2 though because it seems to work... I just get a 0 back from the server without any database activity. Here is what the log says.
cID = 112 ?charID=112:538
charMoney = 9990 ?charID=112:539
thisValue = + ?charID=112:540
iID = 664 ?charID=112:541
buy = 0 ?charID=112:542
ajaxurl = http://localhost/nnnnnnnn.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php ?charID=112:543
data = [object Object] ?charID=112:550
Object {action: "addItemAJAX", charID: 112, itemID: 664, buyItem: 0} ?charID=112:551

Thank you very much for all of the help and suggestions!
