[Plugin: GD Star Rating] Using with AJAX on a custom post type

A quick follow up.

So the problem is that to load my “posts” using AJAX I make a call to wp-admin/admin-ajax.php and pass my action and parameters. I then use an action hook to produce my dynamic lists:

add_action('wp_ajax_load_resources', 'im_load_resources' );
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_load_resources', 'im_load_resources' );

I’ve been playing with this and looking at the plugin code. It looks like this is happening because the frontend.php isn’t being loaded. The problem is with the plugin loading. In gd-star-rating.php there is a test that forks one way for admin requests and another way for non-admin requests:

if (!defined("WP_ADMIN") || (defined("WP_ADMIN") && !WP_ADMIN))

There must be other tests like this also as just changing this test was not sufficient to fix the problem. What I did was convince WordPress not to set WP_ADMIN for my specific call that I was making through admin-ajax.php. This helped, but I then also had to spit out a wp_head() with my AJAX response in order to allow the voting to work.

Obviously, I seem to be alone in making this request, but it would be really handy for me if I could use the plugin to at least render read-only ratings when making a call through /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php.

Thanks

Hi magicroundabout

I’m facing the same problem right now.. I’ve got ajax call to file with loop, from where I want to load post and display ratings.

I’ve got error: Fatal error: Call to a member function render_article() on a non-object in \gd-star-rating\code\fn\legacy.php on line 170

Did you manage to find a way to solve your problem?

Cheers
