return data from ajax call

  • i am using an ajax call in my plugin to create a new page with wp_insert_post and I would like to show this new post to the front-end user.

    my javascript function is this:

    function show_players_page(id)
{
  jQuery()
  {
    var data = {
             action: 'bbnuke_players_page',
             bbnuke_player_id: id
       };

    // since 2.8 ajaxurl is always defined in the admin header and points to admin-ajax.php
    jQuery.post( ajaxurl, data,
       function( response )
       {
         alert(response);
       }
    );
  };
}

    my php function which is called is:

    function  bbnuke_show_players_page()
{
  global $wpdb;

  $player_id = $_POST['bbnuke_player_id'];

  $user_id = get_current_user_id();
  if (!$user_id)
    $user_id = 1;

  //  create the page content
  $bbnuke_post_content =  bbnuke_widget_playerstats( $player_id, false );

  $bbnuke_post = array(
    'menu_order'     => 0,
    'comment_status' => 'closed',
    'ping_status'    => 'closed',
    'post_author'    => $user_id,
    'post_content'   => $bbnuke_post_content,
    'post_name'      => 'baseballnuke-players-page',
    'post_status'    => 'publish',
    'post_title'     => 'baseballNuke - Players Page' . $player_id,
    'post_type'      => 'page'
    );  

  $post_id = wp_insert_post( $bbnuke_post );

  sleep(3);

  $url = get_bloginfo('url') . '/?p=' . $post_id;

  bbnuke_update_option( 'bbnuke_ajax_post_url' , $url );

  exit;
}

    in my plugin file is this:

    add_action( 'wp_ajax_bbnuke_players_page', 'bbnuke_show_players_page');
add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_bbnuke_players_page', 'bbnuke_show_players_page');

    how I can send the create post_id back to the calling javascript function?

    the response only contains “success: true”.

    how i can set the responsetext or receive data from the server?

    has anyone an idea how to user the WP_Ajax_Response class? there is no documentation about this class.

    the ajax call is now working, but still the return of data is not working.

    I have tried different versions of:

    $x = new WP_Ajax_Response( array(
              'what' => 'post_id',
              'id'   => $post_id,
              'data' => $url,
              'supplemental' => $url
          ) );
//  $x->send();

  die($url);

    but I get an error message back that mysql_real_escape_string expects one parameter and on the end of that the parameter of die is appended.

    put die() at the end of your php script
