codecks

Hey Nazmul,

Thank you so much, this is working!

Is there a way to pass the response.data (url of the photo) as an argument to the fotoblog() function? I’m looking online on how to do this but currently this way above my level of understanding.

Thanks for your reply Joy. I’ve been trying to use the callback to trigger the post creation but with no success so far.

Basically what I have been doing is to create a custom-page template where I inserted the do_shortcode funtion to display the wp-dropzone form. The form works, and I’m able to upload files to the media library. The code looks like this:

add_action('genesis_before_entry_content', 'dropit');
function dropit()
{
    echo do_shortcode('[wp-dropzone callback="success: function(file, response){ 
    console.log(response) }" desc="Drop your images here"]');
}

You can see the callback has a success event. So, on success it executes what’s inside. The content now function(file, response){ console.log(response) } is simply the example from the plugin instructions page. I’m not sure what I should replace it with so it triggers function to create a blog post.

The function to create a blog post looks like this. It currently resides inside my custom page template, but I’m not sure if this is the good location, maybe functions.php would be a better location?

add_action( 'wp_ajax_fotoblog', 'fotoblog' );
function fotoblog()
{
    $post = array(
    'post_title'    => 'My Title',
    'post_content'  => 'My Content',
    'post_status'   => 'publish',
    'post_type'     => 'post'
    );
    wp_insert_post($post);
    wp_die();
}

What I’m failing to grasp is the relationsship between the callback and the function to create a blog post. Of what I have been reading so far, I think I should create a javascript function that triggers the wp_ajax hook so it fires the post creation, but I might be wrong in my understanding of that?
