Is this only happening to me? Check this at indignat.socioblog.ro (clicking on the post excerpts’ titles doesn’t AJAX-load content), so the syntax error below breaks script execution (I was wrong again saying it invalidates HTML, but because it deals with HTML code generation):

if (! jQueryScriptOutputted) {
  //only output the script once..
  jQueryScriptOutputted = true;
  //output the jquery script
  document.write("<scr" + "ipt type='text/javascript' src="http://indignat.socioblog.ro/wp-content/plugins/advanced-ajax-page-loader/jquery.js?84cd58"></scr" + "ipt>");
 <strong>Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier</strong>
}

You see, there is a double-quoted string (the jQuery path specified as the value for the SRC attribute) inside another double-quoted string.

It seems you’ve published revision 14 in the meantime. I’ll check that too a little later.

There’s also again the “AAPL_wanings is not defined” within the jQuery(document).ready at line:
if (AAPL_warnings == true)

I think I did a mistake by saying that WP returns a path enclosed in double quotes, that wouldn’t make much sense indeed. I was just confused when I examined the source code of the live page. That string appeared to be very wrongly escaped and thus breaking the entire script processing in my case (it invalidated the HTML), even with the jQuery check being disabled.

I don’t even know why a jQuery is included with AAPL, and why it overrides the default WP path. I don’t understand, because I’ve already overridden the default WP path with that of the one hosted by Google (and I specify a major version only which acts like a wildcard on the minor version, always getting the latest one). So AAPL should probably check the jQuery version already loaded and then decide whether it should use its own one? (which may be older!). I’m new to web programming, and I’m just learning PHP and Javascript etc., so I’m not giving advice, I’m just asking. Maybe letting the user know he needs to update his jQuery.js would be enough. Now I have two useless rather large jQuery libraries sitting on the server…

Anyway, I had disabled the plugin, deleted the plugin folder and uploaded version 2.5.12, then enabled it again, and it didn’t work at all, so I just reverted to 2.5.9. I update the plugin manually just to make sure I don’t lose my settings, and because I have to (it’s free hosting, the server limits max. execution time of PHP scripts to 10 seconds only).

I’ll try the latest version, revision 13, and return with results.

I imagined I would feel relieved, but I didn’t imagine I would feel so happy and satisfied. I haven’t felt so good in a while! ;)) I’ve invested a lot of time into making this website work (AAPL of course needed work to be made compatible and even work at all in my case), so it feels very rewarding to see it isn’t for nothing.

The solution is working. Now I can worry about more pleasant stuff like customizing the theme and replacing overly complex widgets with simpler PHP coding and other optimizations. I can’t pay you money, but I can at least translate the admin panel interface of Youtube Lyte to Romanian (if the plugin supports it), or whatever you think I can do to pay you back.

I’m going to post the fix to the public AAPL reload codes (for people to use) if you don’t. I feel like the fail callback should be kept (it will catch and log eventual errors caused by changes in the script of future versions of Youtube Lyte), just for safety.

I’m so glad the site is coming together 😀

OK, I’ve been trying, unsuccessfully. I’ve used the uncompressed version. I’ve even tried replacing the jQuery.getScript with a document.write(<script… but that just breaks the website resulting in an empty page (there’s nothing but a head including that script tag when I examine the markup).

I’m only just learning javascript, so I’m probably wrong, but maybe the error “ly is not defined” is caused by jQuery not executing the script in the context of the global object, or because the jQuery.getScript gets called within the so-called reload function defined by the AAPL plugin, while your script doesn’t expect that. Your code is too advanced for me to understand, so I’m not sure of what exactly I am trying to say here, but maybe, for example, you define things that should belong to the global object and they turn out not to.

If you access my website again, remember that auto-minifying of JavaScript is only disabled for logged-in users, so just post a “test” comment on any post during that browsing session (you will asked to log in with a third-party account like facebook/yahoo through a third-party service).

This is what my “reload code” AAPL settings section looks like:

jQuery.getScript('/wp-content/plugins/wp-youtube-lyte/lyte/lyte.js');
ly.te();

And here is where you can see examples of reload codes (javascript) other people used to fix the functionality of some other plugins/widgets using javascript:

I wasn’t in the country for a month, and I didn’t have time to care about the website. I was going to answer immediately, but I only found out I had to leave two days before, so I really couldn’t answer at that time. I was surprised to see you noticed this forum thread this easily. Is that because I tagged it “wp-youtube-lyte”?

When I visit the post’s URL directly, the video appears as expected, so Youtube Lyte is working correctly. However, when I navigate to the post by clicking a link within the website, it is loaded dynamically as static data (I suppose) by Advanced AJAX Page Loader, which means that JavaScript code indeed doesn’t execute (because all I get is blank).

So I “summon” the code in lyte-min.js by means of jQuery.getScript() which also executes it. This call has to be made by Advanced AJAX Page Loader after loading the post content, so I put that snippet of code in the “reload” section specifically created for that purpose in the plugin’s settings page on the WordPress admin panel… I tried calling ly.te() as well, and even on its own, without executing the whole script first. Nothing works 🙁

I examined the page and it seems the post’s content is still there in the HTML. However, the DIV having the ID=”content” has its LEFT property’s value set to 20000px (yes, four zeroes) in the element’s inline CSS style attribute value. Also, after the P paragraph elements, where the video should be, there are only two empty divs:

<div class="lyMe" id="WYL_oRnEsCYpfC0" style="width:480px;height:360px;overflow:hidden;"></div>
<div class="lL" style="width:480px;"></div>

And this is the opening tag of the WordPress “content” DIV:
<div id="content" role="main" style="display: block; position: absolute; left: 20000px; ">

You can see it by accessing the first (latest) article at indignat.socioblog.ro

Thank you for all of your help. I’ll keep trying to get it to work tomorrow most probably.

I don’t need the jQuery check / loader / initializer, so I simply comment out the whole initJQuery() function definition and the following call to that function (within the PHP file).

I also remove everything from the jQuery document load event handler in ajax-page-loader.js except the call to AAPL_loadPageInit(“”);

This fixes the plugin version 2.5.9, but not the latest version (2.5.12).

The website using it can be found here.
