New javascript. You shouldn’t need to change the plugin js code.

Hi Ben,

This plugin / documentation assumes some basic understanding of wordpress functions. It doesn’t have a step-by-step guide for complete beginners, and unfortunately I cannot offer this level of support.

Nevertheless, I’m sure even a relatively inexperienced wordpress developer can figure out how to use Ajaxize, and whether or not it solves the problem for you. I would recommend finding a freelance developer, who I’m sure can help you resolve this one way or another.

Cheers,
Yoav

If you’d like to help, please test it and vote for its compatibility.

Once you use it, and if you find it useful, would be great if you could also rate it 🙂

Hi gecko_guy,

Thanks for reaching out. It’s a very valid concern indeed. The last thing you’d want is some stale software with a bug waiting to be exploited. At the same time, there’s no guarantee that a newly developed, or frequently updated plugin is free of bugs or security holes.

I believe that this plugin is simple and small enough not to warrant too many updates. It does one thing, and I hope it does it well. For better or worse, it’s not something that you’ll add a ton of features to and get a lively community around. I did build it with security in mind, as you can hopefully see from the documentation and the code. However, I cannot possibly claim that it’s free of bugs or security holes. Just that I haven’t come across any that warranted an update.

I would encourage you and anybody else to look into the code and let me know if there’s any problem worth fixing. It’s open-source and I would love not to be the only one who actively maintains it.

You’re right that I should update and indicate its compatibility with latest versions of wordpress. I’m running it on the latest version just fine. It’s mostly out of lazyness (and slightly to blame svn and the wordpress plugin ecosystem which feels a bit clunky to work with for me).

Hope this answers your questions and concern. If there’s anything else, let me know.

Cheers,
Yoav

Hi andrew55,

The way ajaxize is meant to work is to turn a function to a div. So as long as you can create a simple function that outputs something on the screen (outputs a div, runs a shortcode, anything…) – then you can use ajaxize and convert this function into a dynamic div that is going to be refreshed via ajax.

Please look at the documentation and examples for more information.

Cheers,
Yoav

Hi Enri,

Unfortunately Ajaxize wasn’t designed for your use case. It was created to be able to dynamically load code using a static html tag, primarily when pages are cached.

If you want to trigger a server function via a button click, then you’d need to handle it with javascript on the frontend anyway, and once you do that, there’s very little value in using Ajaxize in the first place.

Unfortunately I can’t really help much. I suggest looking for other plugins or resources on how to use javascript to load dynamic content from wordpress.

The example you linked to seems like a working example. You say that you’re not good with coding, yet you’re trying to do something quite advanced, that typically requires some coding experience.

If you find someone with some coding experience, I’m sure they can help you implement something, and most likely you won’t even need Ajaxize.

Ajaxize is meant to be used by people with limited coding experience, but only for the more common use-case of converting a PHP function into an ajax call. Anything beyond that, I don’t think Ajaxize helps so much with.
