This is gonna need a pro... it will make you think...

ok well im changing my sites way of posting , but i dont know why its not posting... here are the scripts and codes , i cant piece it together .

 

Here is profile.php where i have the original script to call on the ajax script to post the post.

profile.php (segment)

$the_blab_form = ' 

  <textarea id="add-status"class="status" onkeyup="limitText(this,350,\'.character-count\');detect_url(this.value);" onclick="limitText(this,350,\'.character-count\');detect_url(this.value);"></textarea><div><input class="button post" type="button" value="Post" id="'.$session.'" onClick="add_post(this.id)"/><div class="character-count">350</div>
          ';

now the functions that it is using is in my javascript file which is below...

sitewide.js (segment)

function add_post(id)
{

if($('.post').attr('title', 'Active'))
{
var o_post = $("#add-status").val();
var post = encodeURIComponent(o_post.replace(/^\s+|\s+$/g, ''));
if(post)
{
$('.post').attr('title', 'Inactive');
$(".post-loading").show();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "add/post.php",
data: "post="+post+"&id="+id,
cache: false,
success: function(html){
$(".stream").prepend(html);
$('.stream li:first').show('drop', { direction: 'up' }, 500);
$('.post').attr('title', 'Active');
$("#add-status").val('');
$(".share-wrapper > a").click();
$(".post-loading").hide();
$(".preview-wrapper").empty();
}
});	


}
}

}

now the php file that it uses to post the post is right here below...

add/post.php (whole script)

<?php include("../includes.php");
$session = $logOptions_id;
if($session)
{
$id = $_POST['id'];
if(!$id)
{
$id = $session;	
}
$post = mysql_real_escape_string($_POST['post']);
$date = mktime();


list($url, $thumbnail, $title, $description, $videoID) = check_url($post);
if($url)
{
$action_type = 1;

$tags = get_meta_tags($url);
$title = $tags['title'];
$description = strip_tags(mysql_real_escape_string($tags['description']));
mysql_query("INSERT INTO link_info SET user_id='$session', title='$title', description='$description', link='$url', date='$date'");
}
else
{
$action_type = 0;
}


mysql_query("INSERT INTO posts SET to_id='$id',from_id='$session',post='$post',type='$action_type',date='$date'");
$post_id = mysql_insert_id();

$query = mysql_query("SELECT id,to_id,from_id,post,type,state,date FROM posts WHERE id='$post_id' AND state='0' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 15");	
print posts($query, "newPost");

if($id!=$session)
{
mysql_query("INSERT INTO notifications SET user_id='$id', from_id='$session', post_id='$post_id', action_type='$action_type', date='$date'");
}

}
?>

now the includes file is below , it includes the functions , and the connections...

includes.php

<?php error_reporting(0);
include("connect_to_mysql.php");
include("date_time.php"); 
include("functions.php");
include("scripts/checkuserlog.php");
$currentFile = $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];
$parts = explode('/', $currentFile);
$check_path = $parts[count($parts) - 2];
$currentFile = $parts[count($parts) - 1];
?>

now here is the functions segment where my post function is in...

functions.php (segment)

function posts($query, $action_type)
{
$session = $logOptions_id;
if($action_type=="newPost")
{
$class = "class='new'";
}
else
{
$class = "";
}

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query))
{
$id = $row['id'];
$to_id = $row['to_id'];
$from_id = $row['from_id'];
$post = stripslashes(linkify(nl2br(htmlentities($row['post']))));
$type = $row['type'];
$state = $row['state'];
$date = time_stamp($row['date']);

$name = name($from_id);
$photo = photo($from_id, 55);


$num_likes = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT id FROM db_like WHERE post_id='$id'"));
if($num_likes == 0)
{
$num_likes = '';
}
else if($num_likes == 1)
{
$num_likes = $num_likes." person likes this";	
}
else
{
$num_likes = $num_likes." people like this";
}

$query_like = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT id FROM db_like WHERE post_id='$id' AND from_id='$session'"));
if($query_like)
{$like_unlike = "unlike";}
else
{$like_unlike = "like";}

if($from_id==$session)
{
$session_photo = "class='post-photo".$session."'";	
}else{$session_photo = "";}

if($action_type!="noLi")
{
?>
<li <?php print $class?> id="<?php print $id?>"><?php }?>
<div>
<div class="post-left"><img <?php $session_photo?> src="<?php print $photo?>" /></div>
<div class="post-right">
<!---ARROW-->
<div class="arrow-border"><div class="arrow"></div></div>
<!------->

<?php if($to_id==$session||$from_id==$session){?>
<div class="post-remove" onClick="remove_post('<?php print $id?>')">X</div>
<?php }?>
<?php 
if($type == 1)
{
list($url, $thumbnail, $title, $description, $videoID) = check_url($post);
$post = str_replace($url, '', $post);	
}
?>
<div class="post-body"><?php print $post?></div>
<?php if($type==1)
{
?>
<div class="post-link-container">
<div class="post-link-left"><img onClick="play_Video('<?php print $videoID?>', '<?php print $from_id?>', '<?php print $id?>');" src="<?php print $thumbnail?>"/></div>
<div class="post-link-right">
<div class="post-link-title"><?php print $title?></div><div class="post-link-description"><?php print $description?></div>

</div>
</div>
<?php }?>

<div class="post-top">
<a class="post-name" href="#/profile&id=<?php print $from_id?>"><?php print $name?></a> | <a href="#/posts&id=<?php print $id?>" class="post-date" title="<?php print date('l, jS \of F, Y \a\t g:ia ', $row['date']+60*60);?>"><?php print $date?></a> | <a class="post-comment" id="comment-toggle<?php print $id?>" onClick="comment_toggle('<?php print $id?>')">Comment</a> | <a class="post-like" id="PostLike<?php print $id?>" onClick="<?php print $like_unlike?>('<?php print $id?>')"><?php print ucwords($like_unlike)?></a> <div class="num-likes" id="NumLikes<?php print $id?>"><?php print $num_likes?></div>

</div>

</div>
</div>

and finaly here is the script for the $logoptions , i think this is where everything is not working... i have $session=$logOptions_id in the add/post.php but here is the script.

checkuserlog.php (whole script)

<?php

session_start(); // Start Session First Thing
// Force script errors and warnings to show on page in case php.ini file is set to not display them
error_reporting();

    $logOptions_username = $_SESSION['username'];
    $logOptions_username = substr('' . $logOptions_username . '', 0, 15); // cut user name down in length if too long

// Check if this user has any new PMs and construct which envelope to show
$sql_pm_check = mysql_query("SELECT id FROM private_messages WHERE to_id='$logOptions_id' AND opened='0' LIMIT 1");
$num_new_pm = mysql_num_rows($sql_pm_check);
if ($num_new_pm > 0) {

if there is another way to set up my site please help me.... THANK YOU

 

[AyKay47]

this is alot of code, perhaps you can help us a little bit by telling us what happens exactly when the script is ran? What debugging steps have you taken thus far?

[Glenskie]

well actually nothing happens lol i check my database for new posts and it wont post

[AyKay47]

Alright, the first step will be to confirm that the ajax request is sending data to post.php. Once we confirm that we can proceed. Does the code that you have placed in the success: option run upon Ajax request being made? If yo are not sure, add an alert() in the success: option function and see if it is triggered upon Ajax request being made.
