Ajax is returning 0 always

Hi Guys,

This is my first ajax attempt on my theme using wordpress. I believe i have everything correct but it keeps returning 0 with no data in front. I am aware of the die(‘0’) issue since having this problem, but i don’t think it is even finding my callback.

My code is below please tell me if you see anything off.

This is in my page template.

<?php
/*
Template Name: MyGames Controller
*/
class LP_MyGames {
	public static function load_scripts(){
		//load typical ajax functions
		wp_enqueue_script( 'lp-ajax-functions' );
		// embed the javascript file that makes the AJAX request
		wp_enqueue_script( 'lp-ajax-mygames');
		// declare the URL to the file that handles the AJAX request (wp-admin/admin-ajax.php)
		wp_localize_script( 'lp-ajax-mygames', 'LPAjaxMyGames', array( 'ajaxurl' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' ) ) );
		// if logged in:
		//do_action( 'wp_ajax_' . $_POST['action'] );
		//do_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_' . $_REQUEST['action'] );
		add_action( 'wp_ajax_test_lp_ajax', 'LP_MyGames::myajax_submit' );
		//add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_test_lp_ajax', array($this,'myajax_submit') );
	}

	public static function controller(){
		include(LP_THEME_INCLUDES_DIR . "/models/class-lp-mygames-model.php");

			get_header();
			get_sidebar();
			include("views/mygames.php");
			get_footer();

	}

	public static function myajax_submit() {
		global $wpdb;
		$response = "Category ID is " . $_REQUEST['cat_id'];
		echo $response;
		die();
	}
}//EOC
LP_MyGames::load_scripts();
LP_MyGames::controller();
?>

And this is inside my ajax request file.

$(function(){
	$('#main_cat').change(function(){
	alert("We are inside");

		var data = {
		action: 'test_lp_ajax',
		cat_id: $('#main_cat').val()
		};

		jQuery.post(LPAjaxMyGames.ajaxurl, data, function(response) {
			alert('Got this from the server: ' + response);
		});

	});//End of Change function

});

I’m not sure what the problem is. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
PS – the scripts are pre-registered in functions.php prior to this file loading. Thanks.
