I'm trying to display the html inside of a php file i have. I'm using .load('file.php')
to grab it and show it in a hidden div appended via jquery. But the problem is, it wont display anything past a php line in the file. Like this:
<div id="content">
<h1> Welcome </h1>
<form action="<?php activity_post_form_action()?> "method="post" id="whats-new-form" name="whats-new-form">
Everything below the form wont show, but the <h1> Welcome </h1>
will show.
All of the html and such is valid, meaning I closed all of my tags and such. It just halts after it sees an php
line. I removed the php
from the form, and more showed up until the next php
line.
Its definitely something i did wrong...lol, first rule to coding: EVERYTHING is your fault :)
Any ideas what i did wrong?
also, if you want a look at my jquery
line :
jQuery('#window').load('file.php');
This is the content of the file.php:
<div id="content">
<div class="raberu"><h6>post update</h6></div>
<h1> Welcome </h1>
<form action="<?php bp_activity_post_form_action()?>" method="post" id="whats-new-form" name="whats-new-form">
<?php do_action( 'bp_before_activity_post_form' )?>
<div class="content-body">
<div class="top-content">
<h5>
<?php if ( bp_is_group() ) : ?>
<?php printf( __( "What's new in %s, %s?", 'buddypress' ), bp_get_group_name(), bp_get_user_firstname() ) ?>
<?php else : ?>
<?php printf( __( "So, what's up %s?", 'buddypress' ), bp_get_user_firstname() ) ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</h5>
</div>
<div class="avatar"><img src="<?php bp_loggedin_user_avatar('html=false');?>"/></div>
<div class="foremu">
<div id="whats-new-textarea">
<span class="arato">Click here to start typing</span>
<textarea name="whats-new" id="whats-new">
</textarea>
</div>
<div id="whats-new-options">
<div id="whats-new-submit">
<span class="ajax-loader"></span>
<input type="submit" name="aw-whats-new-submit" id="aw-whats-new-submit" value="<?php _e( 'Post Update', 'buddypress' )?>"/>
<input type="button" class="cancel" value="cancel"/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And when I check my error counsel, I get This : PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function
and it says this for each line of php code that works just fine if I load that page as a template file via wordpress/php...
EDIT**
Ok, I found this, I just have to figure out how to work with it:
- When you post your ajax call from javascript using jQuery, you can define the action
- which will determin which function to run in your PHP component code. *
- Here's an example: *
- In Javascript we can post an action with some parameters via jQuery:
-
- jQuery.post( ajaxurl, {
- action: 'my_example_action',
- 'cookie': encodeURIComponent(document.cookie),
- 'parameter_1': 'some_value'
- }, function(response) { ... } ); *
- Notice the action 'my_example_action', this is the part that will hook into the wp_ajax action.
- You will need to add an add_action( 'wp_ajax_my_example_action', 'the_function_to_run' ); so that
- your function will run when this action is fired.
-
- You'll be able to access any of the parameters passed using the $_POST variable.
So if anyone is having trouble implementing php functions via ajax in wordpress, buddypress etc. Maybe this will help :)
