Description
A basic use case for this plugin would be lazy loading content segments or performing cross-blog actions.
It includes a simple example for lazy loading widgets, but is mainly aimed for developers who like to built on top of this functionality.
Features:
- Url Format in form of
http://<blogname>/<server_entry_key>/<request_string>/<server_format_key>/<format>
in order to allow server side caching of requests without setting up a huge set of rewrite rules. The request string contains all request parameters - Variable response formats. Comes with xml and json bundled in response.php but can be extended to your needs
- Exceptions with custom exception handler are used throughout the classes to allow error feedback in the requested response format.
Please have a look at the inline documentation starting from remote-api.php
. To get a sense of the usage have a look at the examples
Lazy Loading Widget Example
The Lazy Loading Widget example is a basic use case for this script. It’s UI is still not very tuned, but should give an impression on what can be done with this remote-api.
When you visit your widget administration at /wp-admin/widgets.php
you’ll notice a widget called “Remote_API_Lazy_Widget”. Drag it to one of your sidebars where you would like to have some asynchronously loaded widget appear and give it a Title. Then reload the widgets.php page.
A new sidebar should appear in which you can drop other widgets. The widgets you’ll drop in this sidebar will be loaded asynchronously via a ajax request in place of the placeholder widget.
