I'm writing a WordPress plugin that I'd like to do the following:
Add a WordPress plugin admin page that contains a button
When you click the button, it loads an array of JSON objects from a file, then creates a WordPress post for each object
I got #1 done, and I can see the array of JSON objects loading upon button click since I use console.log. (I made the button using this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pO-FYVZv94#at=2164 -- uses AJAX.)
But, how would I go about giving WordPress access to the JSON array so I can create posts using wp_insert_posts? Is this even possible?

I've got a component that downloads data from an API. When the user clicks Search, the content from the API is fetched via AJAX. This content from the API is in JSON and has got an ID of the product inside. I am able to create new HTML elements based on this content and put them inside my site, but I would like every created on the fly element to have routerLink="/detailsPage/itemID" working, so that after clicking it would route to detailsPage with apropriate ID. How to do it in the most simple way? I assume some recompiling of refreshing is needed.
The answer to this question is HTTPClient - Angular offers it as an easier way to use XMLHttpRequest (AJAX) in Angular applications, and using it also makes sure that routerLink or any other Angular directives will work on objects created dynamically with this method.

I am using Drupal 7.54. I want to attach or embed a node add form to a view so that when a user submits the form, the view below the form will be updated in realtime via ajax. The form will be shown above the view. My view block name is Statuses Stream.
I tried Form block module and putting the form in the header section of my view using views ui, but after submit, it was redirecting to the node created page.
Then I tried Advanced Form Block module. I created a form using AFB module. The form name is Statuses. It is submitting the form with ajax, but it is not updating the view in the realtime. I have to refresh the page manually to show the created node below the form.
I am open to any solution programmatically or through a module.
Note: For those who know, I am trying to mimic the statuses module. It does exactly what I am looking for. The problem began when I came to know that it is not an entity. So now I am trying to make the same functionality with Content type.
You could use something like Views Refresh to manually update the view below instead of refreshing the page.
Facebook Feed Dialog 2.9 has deprecated the custom fields (name, caption, picture, description) - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/reference/feed-dialog.
I'm working on an AJAX site where all content and metadata is loaded dynamically. If I just use the link property, the metadata isn't set on initial retrieval of the page so the post doesn't contain the right content.
How can I share an AJAX page on Facebook without having to go down the route of prerendering static pages server side? Thanks
If you can program your page to populate the appropriate metatags on the page load based off of a variable http:/yoursite.com/yourpage.php?thisversion=1 then when you want to share version 1 of the page, you just share the URL with the appropriate variable to populate it. You can still remain on your current version of the page but when you share the URL that would prompt that specific version, facebook makes a call to that respective URL and pulls the appropriate metatags that would be populated by your variable without having to reload the page your are currently displaying. Sorry I don't have time at the moment but will try and comeback and add some sample code for clarity.
I have a list of custom posts, and I want to have a sidebar, wherein the information associated with a post selected from the list to load.
If you insist on using ajax to do this then you will need an API for your WordPress site to call back into. Take a look at http://wp-api.org/. It won't necessarily be easy, but you should be able to get it setup and running and then put a piece of JavaScript in a widget to make the call and display the data.
Be careful, that plugin is under active development.
IMO, it would be easier to do this without ajax. Off the top of my head I would say that you could define a shorttag in your functions.php file and then put it in your widget. If the widget appears on a page with a post, pick up the post id, fetch the meta data, and display it.
Cheers!

Currently I am working on a wordpress site. What I want to do is:
Changing the used contact form (over shortcodes, done by a plugin), everytime the user changes his selection of options provided by a dropdownlist with one form as the default one.
I want to achieve this by using ajax. I could send the Index of the selected option to a php file, but I dont know how exactly I would execute the shortcode in php and return the result to the wp site.
Any information and advice would be great!
