I've setup the basic wordpress ajax example in my wp theme. The trigger is made by modernizr.js checking the media queries on the page.
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
if(Modernizr.mq('only all and (max-width:6300px)')) {
var data = {
action: 'my_action',
whatever: ajax_object.we_value // We pass php values differently!
};
// We can also pass the url value separately from ajaxurl for front end AJAX implementations
jQuery.post(ajax_object.ajax_url, data, function(data) {
$("#trending-Container").html(data).fadeIn(1000);
});
}
});//end function
I have localized and enqueue'd my scripts.
wp_enqueue_script('mainJS', get_template_directory_uri() . '/js/mainJS.js', array("jquery") );
wp_localize_script( 'mainJS', 'ajax_object',
array( 'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ), 'we_value' => 1234 ) );
and finally the function that handles the request is:
add_action('wp_ajax_my_action', 'my_action_callback');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_my_action', 'my_action_callback');
function my_action_callback() {
global $wpdb;
$whatever = intval( $_POST['whatever'] );
$whatever += 10;
echo $whatever;
die();
}
This constantly gives me a response of 0 (no properties) and I do not know why. P.S This is all local.
