So I'm making an Ajax call which will first check to see if that post ID has already been voted on.
Currently I'm just working on the PHP to first get the post id's, if it is empty set it or if it is not empty to append the ID.
Question here: Except when I use the implode or explode method it does not seem to make a call back to the javascript. Although if I was to refresh the page it does register the vote.
This is the PHP file. For user Id
I've just set it to my admin id to start with.
function my_user_vote() {
$user_id = 1;
$pageVoted = $_REQUEST["post_id"];
$currentPosts = get_user_meta($user_id, 'pages_voted_on');
if (empty($currentPosts)) {
// Empty create single array
$postsVotedOn[] = $pageVoted;
} else {
$postsVotedOn = explode('|', $currentPosts);
$postsVotedOn[] = $pageVoted;
}
$boo = implode("|", $pageVoted);
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'pages_voted_on', $boo);
if ( !wp_verify_nonce( $_REQUEST['nonce'], "my_user_vote_nonce")) {
exit("No naughty business please");
}
$vote_count = get_post_meta($_REQUEST["post_id"], "votes", true);
$vote_count = ($vote_count == '') ? 0 : $vote_count;
$new_vote_count = $vote_count + 1;
$vote = update_post_meta($_REQUEST["post_id"], "votes", $new_vote_count);
if($vote === false) {
$result['type'] = "error";
$result['vote_count'] = $vote_count;
}
else {
$result['type'] = "success";
$result['vote_count'] = $new_vote_count;
}
if(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) && strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_X_REQUESTED_WITH']) == 'xmlhttprequest') {
$result = json_encode($result);
echo $result;
}
else {
header("Location: ".$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"]);
}
die();
}
This is the javascript.
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
jQuery(".user_vote").click( function() {
post_id = jQuery(this).attr("data-post_id")
nonce = jQuery(this).attr("data-nonce")
jQuery.ajax({
type : "post",
dataType : "json",
url : myAjax.ajaxurl,
data : {action: "my_user_vote", post_id : post_id, nonce: nonce},
success: function(response) {
if(response.type == "success") {
jQuery(".vote_counter").html("Votes: " + response.vote_count);
jQuery(".voteUpButton").html('<div class="button btnGreen">Thank you!</div>');
alert("Cooommmon");
console.log(response.vote_count);
}
else {
alert("Your vote could not be added")
}
}
})
})
})
