Immediately Changing total favorite count for a user

Hi, I used the Ajaxize Plugin along with the Favorites plugin to achieve this: https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/ajaxize

Install the plugin and generate a div from get_user_favorites_count, use this in your template instead of the function. Then I altered a JS Snippet I found on their FAQ page to refresh the value after you click the “add to favorites” Button.

<script>
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    var refreshId = $( ".simplefavorite-button" ).mouseup(function() {

        var $data = $('div[id*="ajaxize_this:REPLACE_THIS"]');
        $data.each( function() {
            $data.fadeTo(500, 0, function() {
                var newquery = $.query.set('ajaxize_this', $data.attr('id')).set('_wpnonce', ajaxizeParams._wpnonce);
                $data.load(location.pathname + newquery, function() {
                    $data.fadeTo(500, 1);
                });
            });
        });

        return false;
    });
});
</script>

Hope this helps!

Hi swagzillionaire,

Thanks so much for your instructions!

Could you describe your steps just a little bit further? I’m still a WP newbie, and am not sure how to do what you describe.

Here’s what I did so far:
1. I installed the Ajaxize plugin.
2. In the Dashboard, I went to ‘Settings’ -> ‘Ajaxize’. Then in the ‘Function Name’ box, I typed: get_user_favorites_count, and clicked ‘Generate Div’.

Now, I’m not sure what to do next.

How do I ‘use this in your template instead of the function’, as you say?

How do I add the JS script that you have included here?

Thank you in advance!
