2 Views

Hey i am using canvas to put an image out and save it. I can not get wordpress to make an ajax request. I keep getting back 0 responseText. I have beeen working on this for days and can’t seem to get it to work. My page is http://studio-42.com/games. 

jQuery( document ).on( 'click', '.draw-game', function() {

var testCanvas = document.getElementById("mycanvas");
var canvasData = testCanvas.toDataURL("image/png");
var postData = "canvasData="+canvasData;
var debugConsole= document.getElementById("debugConsole");
debugConsole.value=canvasData;

jQuery.ajax({
url : drawing.ajax_url,
type : 'post',
data : {
action : 'save_the_drawing',
imgBase64: postData,

},
success : function( response ) {
alert(response);

Here is my JS

And this one is the PHP code 

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'drawing_game_enqueue_scripts' );
function drawing_game_enqueue_scripts() {
if( is_page('games') ) {
wp_enqueue_style( 'drawing-game', plugins_url( '/drawing-game.css', __FILE__ ) );
}
wp_enqueue_script( 'drawing-game', plugins_url( '/drawing-game.js', __FILE__ ), array('jquery'), '1.0', true );
wp_localize_script( 'drawing-game', 'drawing', array(
'ajax_url' => admin_url( 'admin-ajax.php' )
));
}

add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_save_the_drawing', 'save_the_drawing' );
add_action( 'wp_ajax_save_the_drawing', 'save_the_drawing' );
function save_the_drawing() {



$img = $_POST['postData'];
$img = str_replace('data:image/png;base64,', '', $img);
$img = str_replace(' ', '+', $img);
$fileData = base64_decode($img);
//saving
$fileName = 'photo.png';
file_put_contents($fileName, $fileData);

}

I keep only getting back a 0 and its driving me crazy! Please Help. Thanks!

  1. You need to call die() at the end of your script. Simply returning or echoing will not suffice.

    WordPress by default returns 0 as a return code (0 being no errors detected) if you do not specify a return value (by calling die())

    Here’s some additional details, and there’s more in the WP Codex: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/ajax-call-returns-0
