jqgrid doesn’t rely on having an external PHP file, it relies on having a URL to talk to in order to get the data. So you give it the URL to the admin-ajax.php file, along with a query parameter, which you catch in your plugin and use to trigger the proper output.

Hi All,
I am trying to use jqgrid in a plugin. jqgrid relies on the parameter url:’external.php’ file.

I can not think any other way than ussing wp-load.php to allow the external.php file access the wpdb functions.

Does anyone knows how to implement jqgrid without using wp-load.php….any sample much appreciated.
Thanks.

Is there a way to preserve boolean values with wp_localize_script?

I wholeheartedly agree there, it is as much needed as wp_localize_script probably was when first introduced. A temporary solution is to hook a function that outputs pure CSS into wp_head.

If only something similar could be done for css…

I’m making a widget and I need to send parameters from the widget code to javascript file… I put the wp_enqueue_script code line before the class code and wp_localize script in a function from the class, beacuse that where i get the paramaters from the instance, but It doesn’t send the parameters.. I must be doing something wrong… where should I put wp_enqueue_script and wp_localize_script?

Ok it’s necessary that the array declaration and the wp_localize_script stay before wp_head() (so inside single.php, it has to be before the header.php call. )

now it’s working.
