Life update. 2 days na hindi ko kinausap. Nakaya ko naman. Hahahahaha thanks to knx. Tho tinitignan ko pa rin naman ung msgs nya noon. Pero knx helping me not to check it anymore.

Today, gumawa si knx ng server sa dc for music niya raw at nahihiya sya sa mga servers ng nft namin na gumawa ng channel nya. Tapos ang name ng server nya ay ang ingame initials namin. Takte tawang tawa ako. Tas dalawa lang kami nandun tsaka ung music bot. Hahahaha. Gagi kinilig naman ako ng slight. Pero diko na tinanong bat un name ng server. Hahahaha

Tas kinagabihan nakinig lang kami sa stream ulit, and then pinahanap niya ako ng server na lvl3 na pwede kami magmusic. Kasi nga mejo di maganda ang quality sa server na gnawa niya kasi walang boost. Ayun nakahanap ako. Tapos dun kami dalawa nakinig ng music. It's overwhelming. But at the same time, I'm happy. Tho I'm still in the process of recovering from kezz, knx makes it easier for me. Pero sana magstay lang kami sa ganito. Ayoko muna ng kahit anong crush or ano. Ayoko mawala rin si knx. Kahit friend lang sana magstay kami sa ganon. Thankful ako sa time na binibigay niya sakin. Kahit na minsan ang sabaw ko kausap. Hahahaha. It's a first time having this kind of setup on a gemini man. Hahahaha Goodluck to me.

Kezz (WoL) vs. Bulan (Azem) FFXIV

More on Kezz's Azem persona, Bulan (spelled with a u): His name is from Filipino mythology (specifically Pangasinense). Bulan's description is "moon god; merry and mischievous; guides the ways of thieves; his palace is the source of light of the stars".

Bulan in Ancient times was a bit of a gambler and more impetuous, delighting Hythlodeus and constantly giving Emet-Selch a migraine. He was good at games of chance, including cards, dice, and mahjong. He was also more relaxed and played pranks on his fellow Ancients (again, Emet was a victim of some of these pranks). Yet when it was time to be serious, Bulan knew how to act professional. He was loyal to his friends, and didn’t take betrayal very well.

Kezz is a ninja (rogue) as well as a Black Mage and is the spymaster of Ul'dah, so 'guides the ways of thieves' kinda fits.  As for 'his palace is the source of the stars'...the Echo, anyone?  Though Kezz does find the Echo is a bit of an annoyance in his day job He's a LOT less social and a LOT more paranoid than Bulan was (the Final Days, the summoning of Zodiark and the Sundering rather dampened that mischief and enthusiasm). But get to know him, and he shows a different side closer to what Bulan was.

Picture if you will a small, angry, but miraculously charming goblin bard wielding a triangle and a rapier, with a lil mouse named Squish sleeping in her backpack. She likes eating rats and has a talent for stabbing/shooting things and unwittingly triggering initiative (much to the annoyance of the rest of the party). Kezz is her name, songs-and-stabbing-shapeshifters is her game :)

no offence but i would die for kezz

Your muse’s name: Kin

A favorite picture/faceclaim of your muse:

Two headcanons you have for your muse:

Kin has been gifted in the force since he was very young and has seen many visions through it including his own death. His unusual talent in seeing visions though comes at a price as his heart is rather weak and is taxed with each one.

Always has a hook and line on him and even if it’s tooken away from him he’ll just fashion a new hook and nab some string to use as a line to do his fishing.

Three things your muse likes to do in their free time:

He begs to be let out to fish

Whoever goes out with him to fish is in for a real treat as anything he catches will be cooked up  and ready to eat an hour after it’s caught

He enjoys being out in nature no matter where he’s at, but has a dislike for snow and the cold.

 Seven people your muse loves/likes at least tolerates:

  Vient: he considers him to be a friend and wishes the best for him

Morroyo: a friendly sage who helped stand for him.

Blakk: he doesn’t seem like a bad guy just someone in a tough spot.

Kezz: a rather overworked man, he just needs to relax

Graystrike: a good friend

Jas: a good friend and protector

Mar: the best kitten in the galaxy

A phobia your muse has?

It used to be death itself. The idea of disappearing forever as a young child scared him, but coming to understand his ability and a bit of jedi teaching has allowed that fear to fall back.

Now his fear is seeing his visions come true

Tagging anyone who wants to do this !!!

Close Proximity: Chapter 1

(Listen, there are no warnings, however i have a migraine so it’s hard for me to read through what i’ve written today so pls if you see mistakes let me live)

These are probably most likely going to get longer, but this was just me introducing the main characters.

Chanyeol looked at his watch, waiting for the next possible roommate option to ring the doorbell. Having a roommate wasn't his favourite solution to living alone in a huge apartment with 4 bedrooms, this was in all honesty the last resort. His manager and company had dropped him from one day to the next all because of a small fit of anger he had found himself in a few days ago. So it was either no roommates and not being able to afford rent or get at least one and have at least a month to figure out his next move. All he wanted was peace and quiet but his own anger issues had spoiled that option and the worst part was he could only blame himself for bashing in a windshield of a stranger’s car all because he saw his ex-girlfriend with another guy, he knew he was lucky that the man didn't press charges but once more, this wasn't the ideal situation for someone who had already debuted and now couldn't release anymore music for fans until he could prove something like that wouldn't happen again.

He thought back on the previous 2 people who had had an interview for renting a room.

The first one was a girl, cute in theory but a mess, she looked sweaty, filthy and not at all like someone he would usually go near unless it was for charity. She had shown up in a hoodie and jeans, her hair a mess and her make-up seemed to have been second day make-up. What had really triggered him was the fact she didn't seem to be able to pay such a rent anyway so she was wasting his time. … she had even admitted to only working in a 7/11 and not having much money, plus she had been kicked out from her previous apartment … so what did Chanyeol do being an actual nice person who was suppressed by the Chanyeol who was all around selfish? Agree that if one of the other renters could afford the rent that she could have the smallest room out of nothing but pity. Of course he wasn't going to call her back but she didn't need to know that in the moment. 

The second one, another girl, Kezz. Cute, small, reliable. He had nothing to complain about so of course upon hearing she was studying and needed a place to stay what was he supposed to do? say no? He wasn't a bad person, that first girl just weirded him out, but the second one even with the only being able to pay a small amount he had let her move in right away. He had even told her about the girl before her and forced him to call her back once he had found the last and final renter. So it happened he may have a soft spot for the small cute girl but he wasn't telling anybody that. 

He snapped out of it as the bell rung and he walked to the front door, opening the door tiredly not wanting to get a 3rd charity case. Lucky for him this wasn't the case, a short (ok, short to him) male stood before him, a kind smile on his face. “Im Changkyun, you must he Park Chanyeol” Chanyeol nodded, moving aside letting him inside. They both moved to the couch, sitting down, not saying a word to the other for what felt like forever. Changkyun cleared his throat, breaking the awkward silence, “I have the first month’s rent already, i have a stable job in producing for Starship Entertainment”, Chanyeol’s interest had peaked could he possibly be getting not only the opportunity to house two struggling girls who didn't seem to have much to their names, a friendship with this stranger and maybe if he was lucky an opportunity to get his career back which had barely started? He didn't take his eyes off of Changkyun, but his posture changed to a more relaxed one. “You’re so young? you must be talented in what you do?” Changkyun just nodded, he didn't seem too into the idea of talking which had Chanyeol delighted, just like the second girl Neji, he seemed down to earth for the most part. Something different from whatever the first girl was. “So i already have one other…” “two, he has two other renters in the smaller rooms.” Kezz, had appeared from her room, sitting down on one of the the chairs opposing the couch, smiling softly at the both of the men before her. Chanyeol cleared his throat about to correct her, letting Changkyun know the other girl wasn't a big deal to get rid off but before he had the chance, Changkyun spoke while looking at Kezz, “That’s fine? so it’s a co-living situation? girls and boys?” He seemed almost intrigued but also more calm with the idea than most men in Korea would be. She nodded answering the question, but Chanyeol looked shocked, slightly offended and yet relieved. It was a range of emotions which didn't fit together and yet they all appeared on a single man’s face.

“I guess i should call her, and tell her she can move in too….excuse me”,  he grabbed his phone gracefully lifting himself from the couch before moving into the kitchen ready to call her back with the good news which were only good for her, not himself.

How to Create Your Own AJAX WooCommerce Wishlist Plugin

In this tutorial we will create lightweight wishlist functionality for WooCommerce using AJAX, WordPress REST API, and SVG graphics. WooCommerce doesn’t come with wishlist functionality as standard, so you’ll always need to rely on an extension to do the work for you. Unless you build it yourself for complete control..

Wish Upon a Star

Wishlist functionality will allow users to mark certain products, adding them to a list for future reference. In some eCommerce stores (such as Amazon) multiple wishlists can be created, and these can be shared with others, which makes them ideal for birthdays or weddings. In our case, the WooCommerce wishlist we’re going to create will enable customers to easily revisit products they’re considering.

Our wishlist functionality will add a heart icon to the product thumbs, which when clicked will add the product to a wishlist in a table.

Click the heart icon to add a product to the wishlist

Take a look at the demo for a proper idea of how it works.

1. Create the Plugin Structure

Let’s start by building our plugin. Create a folder with the name “wishlist” and a PHP file with the same name. Add the following snippet to the PHP file:

/* Plugin Name: Woocommerce wishlist Plugin URI: https://www.enovathemes.com Description: Ajax wishlist for WooCommerce Author: Enovathemes Version: 1.0 Author URI: http://enovathemes.com */ if ( ! defined( 'ABSPATH' ) ) { exit; // Exit if accessed directly }

We won’t go into detail about the plugin creation process, but if you are new to plugin development I highly recommend this amazing new course by Rachel McCollin:

WordPress

Introduction to WordPress Plugin Development

Rachel McCollin

Add the Plugin Functions

Let’s sketch out our plan so we know what to build:

Add wishlist toggle to products in loop and single pages using WooCommerce hooks

Create wishlist table shortcode to hold the products added to the wishlist

Create wishlist custom option in the user profile

All the plugin code will go inside the init action for the plugin, as we first need to make sure that the WooCommerce plugin is active. So right after the plugin details add the following code:

add_action('init','plugin_init'); function plugin_init(){ if (class_exists("Woocommerce")) { // Code here } }

And now let’s enqueue our plugin scripts and styles.

Add the following code to the main plugin file:

function wishlist_plugin_scripts_styles(){ wp_enqueue_style( 'wishlist-style', plugins_url('/css/style.css', __FILE__ ), array(), '1.0.0' ); wp_enqueue_script( 'wishlist-main', plugins_url('/js/main.js', __FILE__ ), array('jquery'), '', true); wp_localize_script( 'main', 'opt', array( 'ajaxUrl' => admin_url('admin-ajax.php'), 'ajaxPost' => admin_url('admin-post.php'), 'restUrl' => rest_url('wp/v2/product'), 'shopName' => sanitize_title_with_dashes(sanitize_title_with_dashes(get_bloginfo('name'))), 'inWishlist' => esc_html__("Already in wishlist","text-domain"), 'removeWishlist' => esc_html__("Remove from wishlist","text-domain"), 'buttonText' => esc_html__("Details","text-domain"), 'error' => esc_html__("Something went wrong, could not add to wishlist","text-domain"), 'noWishlist' => esc_html__("No wishlist found","text-domain"), ) ); } add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'wishlist_plugin_scripts_styles' );

Here we enqueue the main style.css file and the main.js file for the plugin, also we pass some parameters to the main.js file to work with:

ajaxUrl – required to fetch some data from WordPress, like current User ID

ajaxPost – required to update user wishlist

restUrl – required to list the wishlist items in the wishlist table

shopName – required to add wishlist items to the session storage for non-registered or non-logged-in users

And some strings instead of hardcoding them into the js file, in case they need to be translatable.

So for now create a css, and js folder and put the corresponding files inside those folders: style.css in the css folder and main.js in the js folder.

2. Hook the Wishlist Toggle

Right inside the init action add the following code:

// Add wishlist to product add_action('woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title','wishlist_toggle',15); add_action('woocommerce_single_product_summary','wishlist_toggle',25); function wishlist_toggle(){ global $product; echo '<span class="wishlist-title">'.esc_attr__("Add to wishlist","text-domain").'</span><a class="wishlist-toggle" data-product="'.esc_attr($product->get_id()).'" href="#" title="'.esc_attr__("Add to wishlist","text-domain").'">'.file_get_contents(plugins_url( 'images/icon.svg', __FILE__ )).'</a>'; }

Here we add a wishlist toggle to each product in the loop and to each single product layout, using the woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title and woocommerce_single_product_summary hooks.

Here I want to point out the data-product attribute that contains the product ID–this is required to power the wishlist functionality. And also take a closer look at the SVG icon–this is required to power the animation. 

3. Add SVG Icons

Now create an images folder in the plugin folder and put the following icon.svg in it:

<svg viewBox="0 0 471.701 471.701"> <path class="heart" d="M433.601,67.001c-24.7-24.7-57.4-38.2-92.3-38.2s-67.7,13.6-92.4,38.3l-12.9,12.9l-13.1-13.1 c-24.7-24.7-57.6-38.4-92.5-38.4c-34.8,0-67.6,13.6-92.2,38.2c-24.7,24.7-38.3,57.5-38.2,92.4c0,34.9,13.7,67.6,38.4,92.3 l187.8,187.8c2.6,2.6,6.1,4,9.5,4c3.4,0,6.9-1.3,9.5-3.9l188.2-187.5c24.7-24.7,38.3-57.5,38.3-92.4 C471.801,124.501,458.301,91.701,433.601,67.001z M414.401,232.701l-178.7,178l-178.3-178.3c-19.6-19.6-30.4-45.6-30.4-73.3 s10.7-53.7,30.3-73.2c19.5-19.5,45.5-30.3,73.1-30.3c27.7,0,53.8,10.8,73.4,30.4l22.6,22.6c5.3,5.3,13.8,5.3,19.1,0l22.4-22.4 c19.6-19.6,45.7-30.4,73.3-30.4c27.6,0,53.6,10.8,73.2,30.3c19.6,19.6,30.3,45.6,30.3,73.3 C444.801,187.101,434.001,213.101,414.401,232.701z"/> <g class="loading"> <path d="M409.6,0c-9.426,0-17.067,7.641-17.067,17.067v62.344C304.667-5.656,164.478-3.386,79.411,84.479 c-40.09,41.409-62.455,96.818-62.344,154.454c0,9.426,7.641,17.067,17.067,17.067S51.2,248.359,51.2,238.933 c0.021-103.682,84.088-187.717,187.771-187.696c52.657,0.01,102.888,22.135,138.442,60.976l-75.605,25.207 c-8.954,2.979-13.799,12.652-10.82,21.606s12.652,13.799,21.606,10.82l102.4-34.133c6.99-2.328,11.697-8.88,11.674-16.247v-102.4 C426.667,7.641,419.026,0,409.6,0z"/> <path d="M443.733,221.867c-9.426,0-17.067,7.641-17.067,17.067c-0.021,103.682-84.088,187.717-187.771,187.696 c-52.657-0.01-102.888-22.135-138.442-60.976l75.605-25.207c8.954-2.979,13.799-12.652,10.82-21.606 c-2.979-8.954-12.652-13.799-21.606-10.82l-102.4,34.133c-6.99,2.328-11.697,8.88-11.674,16.247v102.4 c0,9.426,7.641,17.067,17.067,17.067s17.067-7.641,17.067-17.067v-62.345c87.866,85.067,228.056,82.798,313.122-5.068 c40.09-41.409,62.455-96.818,62.344-154.454C460.8,229.508,453.159,221.867,443.733,221.867z"/> </g> <g class="check"> <path d="M238.933,0C106.974,0,0,106.974,0,238.933s106.974,238.933,238.933,238.933s238.933-106.974,238.933-238.933 C477.726,107.033,370.834,0.141,238.933,0z M238.933,443.733c-113.108,0-204.8-91.692-204.8-204.8s91.692-204.8,204.8-204.8 s204.8,91.692,204.8,204.8C443.611,351.991,351.991,443.611,238.933,443.733z"/> <path d="M370.046,141.534c-6.614-6.388-17.099-6.388-23.712,0v0L187.733,300.134l-56.201-56.201 c-6.548-6.78-17.353-6.967-24.132-0.419c-6.78,6.548-6.967,17.353-0.419,24.132c0.137,0.142,0.277,0.282,0.419,0.419 l68.267,68.267c6.664,6.663,17.468,6.663,24.132,0l170.667-170.667C377.014,158.886,376.826,148.082,370.046,141.534z"/> </g> </svg>

SVG Viewport and viewBox (For Complete Beginners)

Kezz Bracey

Our SVG animation has 3 states:

Default: the heart path

Process: loading group (g tag)

End: check group (g tag)

If you now go to your shop page you will see the unstyled SVG icons piled on top of each other:

Let’s add some styling to fix this mess! Open the style.css file and paste the following code:

.wishlist-toggle { display: block; position: absolute; top: 16px; left: 16px; z-index: 5; width: 24px; height: 24px; outline: none; border:none; } .wishlist-title { display: none; } .entry-summary .wishlist-toggle { position: relative; top: 0; left: 0; display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; margin-bottom: 8px; } .entry-summary .wishlist-title { display: inline-block; vertical-align: middle; margin-right: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px; } .wishlist-toggle:focus { outline: none; border:none; } .wishlist-toggle svg { fill:#bdbdbd; transition: all 200ms ease-out; } .wishlist-toggle:hover svg, .wishlist-toggle.active svg { fill:#000000; } .wishlist-toggle svg .loading, .wishlist-toggle svg .check { opacity: 0; } .wishlist-toggle.active svg .check { opacity: 1; } .wishlist-toggle.active svg .heart { opacity: 0; } .wishlist-toggle.loading svg .loading, .wishlist-table.loading:before { animation:loading 500ms 0ms infinite normal linear; transform-origin: center; opacity: 1; } .wishlist-toggle.loading svg .heart { opacity:0; } @keyframes loading { from {transform: rotate(0deg);} to {transform: rotate(360deg);} }

The logic here is as follows: 

Initially we show the heart path of our SVG.

When the user clicks on it we will hide the heart path and show the loading path.

Once the loading finishes we will show the checkmark indicating that the product was successfully added to the wishlist.

We will toggle the loading state via JavaScript later; the loading animation is a simple transform rotate. So for now if you refresh the page (don’t forget to clear the browser cache as sometimes old styles are cached) you will see a nice heart icon with each product. 

This toggle currently does nothing, so we’ll sort that out. But for now let’s keep with our plan.

4. Create Wishlist Table Shortcode

Add the following code in the init plugin action:

// Wishlist table shortcode add_shortcode('wishlist', 'wishlist'); function wishlist( $atts, $content = null ) { extract(shortcode_atts(array(), $atts)); return '<table class="wishlist-table loading"> <tr> <th><!-- Left for image --></th> <th>'.esc_html__("Name","text-domain").'</th> <th>'.esc_html__("Price","text-domain").'</th> <th>'.esc_html__("Stock","text-domain").'</th> <th><!-- Left for button --></th> </tr> </table>'; }

This is a very simple shortcode that you can add to any page, and the wishlist items will appear inside it. I won’t describe the shortcode creation process, but if you are new to this, I highly recommend reading this amazing tutorial:

Plugins

Getting Started With WordPress Shortcodes

Rohan Mehta

Make a Wishlist Page

Now from inside the WP admin create a page called “Wishlist” and put the [wishlist] shortcode inside it. Now if you go to the wishlist page you will see an empty table.

Did you notice the loading class on the table? We will remove the loading class with JavaScript later, once the wishlist items are ready to be appended to the table. But for now open the style.css and add the following code:

Add the loading.svg image to the images folder:

This is the same loading SVG separated from the main icon.svg. We could use SVG sprites, but I decided to stick with a separate loading SVG.

Now, if you go to the wishlist page and refresh it you will see an empty table with loading on it. Nice, let’s move further.

5. Wishlist Custom Option in the User Profile

Our wishlist functionality will work both for logged-in users and guest users. With logged-in users we’ll store the wishlist information in the user’s metadata, and with guest users we’ll store the wishlist in the session storage. 

You can also store the guest users’ wishlist in local storage, the difference being that session storage is destroyed when the user closes the tab or browser, and local storage is destroyed when the browser cache is cleared. It is up to you which option you use for guest users.

Now add the following code to the init action:

// Wishlist option in the user profile add_action( 'show_user_profile', 'wishlist_user_profile_field' ); add_action( 'edit_user_profile', 'wishlist_user_profile_field' ); function wishlist_user_profile_field( $user ) { ?> <table class="form-table wishlist-data"> <tr> <th><?php echo esc_attr__("Wishlist","text-domain"); ?></th> <td> <input type="text" name="wishlist" id="wishlist" value="<?php echo esc_attr( get_the_author_meta( 'wishlist', $user->ID ) ); ?>" class="regular-text" /> </td> </tr> </table> <?php } add_action( 'personal_options_update', 'save_wishlist_user_profile_field' ); add_action( 'edit_user_profile_update', 'save_wishlist_user_profile_field' ); function save_wishlist_user_profile_field( $user_id ) { if ( !current_user_can( 'edit_user', $user_id ) ) { return false; } update_user_meta( $user_id, 'wishlist', $_POST['wishlist'] ); }

Again, in order to remain within the scope of this tutorial, I won’t explain how to work with user metadata. If you are new to this I highly recommend reading this amazing tutorial:

WordPress

How to Work With WordPress User Metadata

Tom McFarlin

All we do here is create a text field input that will hold the wishlist items comma-separated IDs. With show_user_profile and edit_user_profile actions we add the structure of the input field, and with personal_options_update and edit_user_profile_update actions we power the save functionality. 

So once the wishlist is updated it will save to the database. I you go to your profile page you will see a new text field added to it. Add whatever value you want and hit save to test if the update functionality works. With admin CSS you can hide this field if you don’t want users to see it. I will leave it as is.

6. Turn it On!

Now we are ready to power everything up!

Open the main.js file and put the following code in it:

(function($){ "use strict"; })(jQuery);

All our code will go inside this function.

Now let’s gather the required data and create some variables:

var shopName = opt.shopName+'-wishlist', inWishlist = opt.inWishlist, restUrl = opt.restUrl, wishlist = new Array, ls = sessionStorage.getItem(shopName), loggedIn = ($('body').hasClass('logged-in')) ? true : false, userData = '';

As you might remember when we enqueued our main.js script we passed some parameters to it. Here, with JavaScript, we can collect these parameters.

Next, we will create an empty wishlist array that will contains wishlist items. We will need the session storage data with our shop name (the ls variable stands for local storage), and we will need to know if the user is guest or logged-in.

Let me explain the logic here: whenever the user visits the shop page we will need to know if he or she is logged-in or is a guest-user. If the user is logged-in we will need to check if he or she has wishlist items, and if so highlight these items. If not we need to see if there are any items in the session/local storage and highlight those. 

Why this is done like this? Imagine, if the user first visits the website as a guest, adds items to the wishlist, and then decides to login. If the user does not have items registered in the profile wishlist, we will need to show the ones that he or she added before login, that are stored in the session/local storage.

So let’s do that step by step:

If User is Logged-in

Fetch current user data with AJAX

If success update the wishlist

Highlight the wishlist items

Remove the session/local storage

If fail show error message in the console for the developer

if(loggedIn) { // Fetch current user data $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url: opt.ajaxUrl, data: { 'action' : 'fetch_user_data', 'dataType': 'json' }, success:function(data) { userData = JSON.parse(data); if (typeof(userData['wishlist']) != 'undefined' && userData['wishlist'] != null && userData['wishlist'] != "") { var userWishlist = userData['wishlist']; userWishlist = userWishlist.split(','); if (wishlist.length) { wishlist = wishlist.concat(userWishlist); $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url:opt.ajaxPost, data:{ action:'user_wishlist_update', user_id :userData['user_id'], wishlist :wishlist.join(','), } }); } else { wishlist = userWishlist; } wishlist = wishlist.unique(); highlightWishlist(wishlist,inWishlist); sessionStorage.removeItem(shopName); } else { if (typeof(ls) != 'undefined' && ls != null) { ls = ls.split(','); ls = ls.unique(); wishlist = ls; } $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url:opt.ajaxPost, data:{ action:'user_wishlist_update', user_id :userData['user_id'], wishlist :wishlist.join(','), } }) .done(function(response) { highlightWishlist(wishlist,inWishlist); sessionStorage.removeItem(shopName); }); } }, error: function(){ console.log('No user data returned'); } }); }

If User is Guest

Fetch wishlist from the session/local storage

else { if (typeof(ls) != 'undefined' && ls != null) { ls = ls.split(','); ls = ls.unique(); wishlist = ls; } }

As you may have noticed here we have double-AJAX and some helper functions. So first let’s create the actions of the AJAX requests, and after that I will explain our helper functions. I won’t describe in detail the AJAX functionality in WordPress, but if you are new to AJAX and WordPress, I highly recommend reading this amazing tutorial on it:

Plugins

A Primer on Ajax in the WordPress Frontend: Understanding the Process

Tom McFarlin

Our first AJAX request gets the user id and the user wishlist data from WordPress. This is done with a custom AJAX action added to the plugin code file:

// Get current user data function fetch_user_data() { if (is_user_logged_in()){ $current_user = wp_get_current_user(); $current_user_wishlist = get_user_meta( $current_user->ID, 'wishlist',true); echo json_encode(array('user_id' => $current_user->ID,'wishlist' => $current_user_wishlist)); } die(); } add_action( 'wp_ajax_fetch_user_data', 'fetch_user_data' ); add_action( 'wp_ajax_nopriv_fetch_user_data', 'fetch_user_data' );

The most important part here is the action name (fetch_user_data)–make sure it is the same for AJAX and for functions wp_ajax_fetch_user_data and wp_ajax_nopriv_fetch_user_data. Here we’re preparing JSON formatted data with user ID and user wishlist data.

Our next AJAX request updates the user wishlist if there were already wishlist items from session/local storage. Take a close look at the url option–see it is different.

The logic is the same as for the first action–the difference is that here we don’t return or echo any data, but we update the wishlist option for the current user.

function update_wishlist_ajax(){ if (isset($_POST["user_id"]) && !empty($_POST["user_id"])) { $user_id = $_POST["user_id"]; $user_obj = get_user_by('id', $user_id); if (!is_wp_error($user_obj) && is_object($user_obj)) { update_user_meta( $user_id, 'wishlist', $_POST["wishlist"]); } } die(); } add_action('admin_post_nopriv_user_wishlist_update', 'update_wishlist_ajax'); add_action('admin_post_user_wishlist_update', 'update_wishlist_ajax');

And if our user is a guest we will need to check if there are any wishlist details in the session/local storage.

Helper Functions

Before we move to the events part I want to explain our helper functions

Array.prototype.unique = function() { return this.filter(function (value, index, self) { return self.indexOf(value) === index; }); } function isInArray(value, array) {return array.indexOf(value) > -1;} function onWishlistComplete(target, title){ setTimeout(function(){ target .removeClass('loading') .addClass('active') .attr('title',title); },800); } function highlightWishlist(wishlist,title){ $('.wishlist-toggle').each(function(){ var $this = $(this); var currentProduct = $this.data('product'); currentProduct = currentProduct.toString(); if (isInArray(currentProduct,wishlist)) { $this.addClass('active').attr('title',title); } }); }

The first helper function makes the array unique, by removing duplicates, the second one checks if the given value is present in the given array. The next function executes when an item is added to the wishlist and the last one shows items that are in the wishlist.

Add Toggle

Now let’s add a click event to the wishlist toggle to power the actual functionality. On each toggle click event the animation is triggered and if the user is logged-in the wishlist update action fires with AJAX. If the user is a guest the item is added to the session/local storage. 

Now if you go to the shop page, refresh the browser, and click on any wishlist toggle you will see it is working!

$('.wishlist-toggle').each(function(){ var $this = $(this); var currentProduct = $this.data('product'); currentProduct = currentProduct.toString(); if (!loggedIn && isInArray(currentProduct,wishlist)) { $this.addClass('active').attr('title',inWishlist); } $(this).on('click',function(e){ e.preventDefault(); if (!$this.hasClass('active') && !$this.hasClass('loading')) { $this.addClass('loading'); wishlist.push(currentProduct); wishlist = wishlist.unique(); if (loggedIn) { // get user ID if (userData['user_id']) { $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url:opt.ajaxPost, data:{ action:'user_wishlist_update', user_id :userData['user_id'], wishlist :wishlist.join(','), } }) .done(function(response) { onWishlistComplete($this, inWishlist); }) .fail(function(data) { alert(opt.error); }); } } else { sessionStorage.setItem(shopName, wishlist.toString()); onWishlistComplete($this, inWishlist); } } }); });

7. List Items in Wishlist Table

Now it is time to list our wishlist items in the wishlist table we created earlier.

Add the following code into main.js at the very bottom of our wrapper function:

setTimeout(function(){ if (wishlist.length) { restUrl += '?include='+wishlist.join(','); restUrl += '&per_page='+wishlist.length; $.ajax({ dataType: 'json', url:restUrl }) .done(function(response){ $('.wishlist-table').each(function(){ var $this = $(this); $.each(response,function(index,object){ $this.append('<tr data-product="'+object.id+'"><td><a class="wishlist-remove" href="#" title="'+opt.removeWishlist+'"></a>'+object.image+'</td><td>'+object.title["rendered"]+'</td><td>'+object.price+'</td><td>'+object.stock+'</td><td><a class="details" href="'+object.link+'">'+opt.buttonText+'</a></td></tr>'); }); }); }) .fail(function(response){ alert(opt.noWishlist); }) .always(function(response){ $('.wishlist-table').each(function(){ $(this).removeClass('loading'); }); }); } else { $('.wishlist-table').each(function(){ $(this).removeClass('loading'); }); } },1000);

Here we are using the WordPress REST API to get the products by ID in the wishlist array. 

For each of the products we get we are adding a table row with the required data to display. We need the product image, title, stock status, button and price. 

Here we have two options for the REST API: 

using the WordPress REST API 

using the WooCommerce REST API. 

The difference here is that product data is already present in the Woocommerce REST API, but an API key is required. With the default WordPress REST API product data is absent by default, but can be added, and no API key is required. For such a simple task as a wishlist I don’t think that an API key is needed, so we will do it by extending the default WordPress REST API to return our product price, image code and the stock level.

Go to the main plugin file and at the very bottom add the following code:

// Extend REST API function rest_register_fields(){ register_rest_field('product', 'price', array( 'get_callback' => 'rest_price', 'update_callback' => null, 'schema' => null ) ); register_rest_field('product', 'stock', array( 'get_callback' => 'rest_stock', 'update_callback' => null, 'schema' => null ) ); register_rest_field('product', 'image', array( 'get_callback' => 'rest_img', 'update_callback' => null, 'schema' => null ) ); } add_action('rest_api_init','rest_register_fields'); function rest_price($object,$field_name,$request){ global $product; $id = $product->get_id(); if ($id == $object['id']) { return $product->get_price(); } } function rest_stock($object,$field_name,$request){ global $product; $id = $product->get_id(); if ($id == $object['id']) { return $product->get_stock_status(); } } function rest_img($object,$field_name,$request){ global $product; $id = $product->get_id(); if ($id == $object['id']) { return $product->get_image(); } } function maximum_api_filter($query_params) { $query_params['per_page']["maximum"]=100; return $query_params; } add_filter('rest_product_collection_params', 'maximum_api_filter');

All this does is create new fields for REST API and extends the maximum items limit per request. Again, if you are new to this subject I highly recommend reading this series.

For now, if you go to your wishlist table and refresh the page you will see the list of items that are added to your wishlist. 

8. Removing Items From Wishlist

We are almost done; only the remove functionality remains. So let’s create that! Add the following code at the very bottom of the wrapper function in the main.js file

$(document).on('click', '.wishlist-remove', function(){ var $this = $(this); $this.closest('table').addClass('loading'); wishlist = []; $this.closest('table').find('tr').each(function(){ if ($(this).data('product') != $this.closest('tr').data('product')) { wishlist.push($(this).data('product')); if (loggedIn) { // get user ID if (userData['user_id']) { $.ajax({ type: 'POST', url:opt.ajaxPost, data:{ action:'user_wishlist_update', user_id :userData['user_id'], wishlist :wishlist.join(','), } }) .done(function(response) { $this.closest('table').removeClass('loading'); $this.closest('tr').remove(); }) .fail(function(data) { alert(opt.error); }); } } else { sessionStorage.setItem(shopName, wishlist.toString()); setTimeout(function(){ $this.closest('table').removeClass('loading'); $this.closest('tr').remove(); },500); } } }); });

Once the remove icon is clicked (make sure you have a remove.svg in the images folder, you can use whatever icon you want), we need to check if the user is logged-in. If so, we then remove the item ID from the wishlist using AJAX with the user_wishlist_update action. If the user is a guest we need to remove the item ID from the session/local storage.

Now go to your wishlist and refresh the page. Once you click on the remove icon your item will be removed from the wishlist.

Conclusion

That was quite a project! A simple, but comprehensive wishlist feature for your WooCommerce stores. You are free to use this plugin in any project; you can extend, modify it and make suggestions. I hope you liked it. Here is the link to the source files on GitHub. And here is the demo.

Discovery: "S2P" by Rising Artist Kezz

Discovery: “S2P” by Rising Artist Kezz

Today at 24 Hip Hop we have the absolute pleasure of covering an artist that we’ve had our eye on for some time now. Dylan Rooks, professionally known as Kezz has made waves in the Midwest music scene like none other. Whether you’re from Kansas City or Salt Lake City, there’s no doubt you’ve heard the name before. There’s a solid chance that you might’ve stumbled across this artist’s kickass…

[timberline-falls]

Two Asura and the Crown Pavilion

"Can you hear it, Kez? The din of battle! The clash of steel! This is going to be so much fun."

((Just a little text-based RP, with a lore assumption at the beginning))

After a few rounds of pacing in deliberation, Kezza comes to a stop at her console. The stress of boredom and loneliness led her here, to this point of consideration; She would go to Divinity's Reach, and attend the human festival.

But she wouldn't be going alone. Accessing the Magistracy's communications interface, she scans the available roster for the right name and designation. Finding it, Kezza prompts the interface for message creation, and proceeds to stare at the display. It proves unexpectedly difficult to type something so simple, but she manages it soon enough:

"Excel, Ger. Would you like to accompany me to the Crown Pavilion in Divinity's Reach? I'll be ready in the morning once Pwitt is in class. Let me know before then."

+

Thus far, there hadn't been much to Gerik's day to encourage a positive outlook. Between a minor breach in the containment lab, another handful of falsified recreational leave requests, and Sippi's usual lack of involvement with her duties, he'd had his hands full.

It seemed like providence, then, that he'd just been walking out of his office to distribute another round of tongue lashing to his subordinates, when a light 'ping!' from his terminal caught his ear. He stopped in the doorway, quietly debating whether to go back or not, but finally decided that it might be important and marched back over to his desk.

Rather swiftly, his expression shifted from one of mild disinterest, to shock, and finally a giddy sort of uncertainty. He rattled out a response without really perceiving it, then breezed out through the door to take his lunch,

"Kez, I'd be delighted. Bringing my combat apparatuses. Look forward to reconvening."

+ ————— As promised, Kezza readies herself in the morning after seeing Pwitt to his class. With her hair done up in long spirals, she dons her stonework armor, and resets the default chromatics from red to a less antagonistic purple. All the while, she wonders at her choice to attend a festival of bookah, but Gerik's enthusiastic reply was encouraging. It would do her well to work out her anxieties and frustration on a horde of Destroyers-- Watchwork or not.

Expecting to find Gerik at the asura gate, Kezza departs her domicle with a budding sense of excitement.

+

Prompt and punctual as always, Gerik arrives at the asura gate no sooner than Kezza had sauntered into view. His usual attire is modified, his coat dispensed with in favor of a trailing split-tailed scarf and his armor unusually spartan; all trimmed in striking gold and violet.

As his friend draws nearer, Gerik rocks a bit on his heels, arms folded behind his back. He greets her with a warm, toothy smile, "Excelsior, Kez. I hope you're not feeling pusillanimous."

+

"Scarcely!" She answers, coming down the stairs with heavy footfalls. A slim-fitting gauntlet rests on the hilt of a sword, which sparks to vibrant life when she draws it. Lightning tracks in its wake, and so with a smile, she adds, "I'm positively electrified."

+

Gerik goes wide-eyed a moment at Kezza's newly brandished blade, unfurling his hands from behind him. "Where did you happen upon that?"

+

At first it seems she's offended, but she flourishes the blade in a downward swipe, to then be held at her side. "I created it, of course. It's been a pet project of mine for years," she replies, still chiper with self-satisfaction despite it. "I call it Volt."

+

The Disaggregator's eyes sweep up and down the sword, his expression equally envious and impressed. He cups his chin in hand, as though to conceal his obvious overawe.

"Well, it's certainly delightful to look at," he agrees, with building enthusiasm, "But how does it perform in combat?"

+

With a self-assured hum not unlike his, she lifts the blade again for inspection. It sparks and buzzes as though eager. "I've yet to properly challenge it."

+

Forgoing any pretense of dignity at the blade's presentation, he moves over in a single, smooth stride and lowers himself to eye level. "Marvelous," he breathes, a grin curling the edge of his mouth. He looks up to her after a moment, giddy and beaming, "Let's go conduct some field trials."

((that's not suggestive at all))

+

Kezza's smile as she watches him becomes a grin at his suggestion. She nods firmly, despite the light touch of pink on her cheeks set there by his marveling.  "Affirmative."

+

He clears his throat and puts his eyes elsewhere, off towards the asura gate, "Hem. Well, let's to it then."

With a gentler grin, he stands and offers for her to take the lead with a flourish.

+

With marked pride, Kezza takes the lead, returning the sword to a more dormant state at her hip. It still emits a low buzz—likely inaudible to any but asura—but sparks cease to dance across its winding structure. At reaching the gate, she pauses to check over shoulder for him, and pays him an almost giddy look before passing through.

+

It's all Gerik can do to keep from grinning like a fool as he follows through after Kezza, a light bounce in his step.

+

On the other side, some of her elation is taken by arriving in what was always hostile territory. Double-checking that they wore no Inquest identifiers, Kezza descends the steps along with Gerik.

+

Descending the steps after his friend, Gerik finds himself glancing off from side to side on instinct, despite his good humor. Shaking his suspicions off for the moment, he gives Kezza an almost boyish grin as they walk.

"So, what compelled you to extend an invitation to this outing?"

+

The question seems to catch her off-guard. "Oh. Well, I didn't want to go by myself. I thought it might be more fun if you accompanied me." She holds back from mentioning a third reason.

+

He scratches at his chin, leaning his head out of the way of a passing cart's cargo with a measure of irritation, "Well, I suppose I wouldn't have wanted to go alone either. I'm glad you invited me, regardless." His expression relaxes into a familiar comfort, smile easing, "I was one lost asset retention report from a complete neural collapse."

+

Concern crosses her features, "What happened? Was it the interns from accounting again? I told Teokkin to triple-check their work," the former Magistrix frowns.

+

An exasperated sigh tumbles out of his mouth, his claws dragging down his face to hook at his lower lip. "It's everyone. If it isn't Sippi slacking off, it's a researcher losing their passrunes." He grumbles. "I've needed a break."

+

A hand reaches out to join his, allowing Kezza to walk closer beside her friend and superior. "Aw, Ger. You should have told me sooner. I could have arranged something." She pauses at her Magistrix phrasing, shaking her head. "I mean, arranged something outside of work, for us."

+

Gerik's fingers readily slip between Kezz's, accepting her grasp with an easy comfort. He flicks an ear at her phrasing, keeping pace beside. "I'm just thankful for the time we've allotted today. Teokkin certainly keeps us both busy."

+

Kezza hums, a vaguely melancholy sound. The mundane workload she was burdened with was beneath her, nothing as challenging or demanding as she'd had before. It left her unsatisfied and afforded more free time, which she wasn't always able to fill. "I am as well."

+

The lowness in Kezza's tone see Gerik's ears fold back with concern, though he refrains from vocalizing it. This was meant to be a convival outing, after all, wasn't it? Fretting about their occupational troubles could only work against that.

Leaning nearer as they pass through the archway leading out of the plaza into the city proper, he gives her hand a gentle squeeze. "Those protectives suit you."

+

Kezza's smile returns, "Thank you," she answers. "I agree. Though I wonder if I have overdressed."

+

Gerik scoffs at the notion, "Certainly not. I've been informed that the Queen's Gauntlet is one of the most rigorous tests of combative skill on the continent." He glances her way, nose stuck up, "I'd say your accoutrements are impeccably picked."

+

Kezza frowns, "It's only a bookah celebration. I don't anticipate a rigorous test, though I hope for Volt's sake you're correct." She pats the pommel of her weapon.

+

His eyes drift down to visit a longing look on the blade. He hums. "We'll just have to be certain our field testing is thorough. Did you have any inclinations towards a particular biome to start with?"

+

"I read there is one dedicated to Destroyers," she gives him a knowing look, "I'd like to start there."

+

He smirks in a familiar sort of way, "I was hoping that might be your proposal. Let's see if these bookah know how to run a proper simulation, then."

+

Kezza makes an affirming sound tied to a smirk, and as they continue down towards the pavilion, she considers how her hand still holds his. With her other hand set easily on Volt's pommel, she walks comfortably alongside her friend amidst the festival's many guests and patrons.

+

Feeling more at ease than he had in months, Gerik takes in the sights as they descend through the city. Though bookah still earn a dirty look now and then, he finds letting minor annoyances go unattended comes more easily to him.

"Ah, there's that abominable avian."He gestured with his free hand at the rooftops around them. Just visible over the row of houses, the brass eagle looms above the upper Pavilion.

+

"It's a strange celebration even by human standards. Why does their Queen hold a gauntlet beneath that sculpture?" She wonders aloud, narrowly avoiding a collision with a passing norn.

+

He shrugs his shoulders, uncertain himself. "Who can say? As my old professor used to say, there's no sense making sense of simian behavior." The Disaggregator hums, moving his gaze from the horrible sculpture back to Kezza. "At least the arenas are underground."

+

Kezza's ears fold, taking exception to his old professor. She puffs her chest a bit, "I intend to find out, while we're present. Participation in the festivities should prove elucidating."

+

"Oh, you believe so?" The smirk he wore was plainly audible I'm his voice. "Maybe, if your goal is to gather data on watchknight structural integrity-- which I intend to do thoroughly."

+

"As do I," she affirms, returning the smirk. "Though I have no intention of neglecting my research."

+

"I wouldn't dream of interfering with data collection." He grins her way as they descend the stairs into the upper Pavilion. Festival-goers flock in loose throngs across the massive grounds area beneath the brass eagle's shadow. Gerik pauses just long enough to sneer up at it. "So gaudy."

+

"There must be some symbolic meaning in it," Kezza frowns up at the eagle, stopping only a moment to get a look. The confetti and balloons floating through the air prove a minor obstruction, but their presence isn't entirely unwelcome.

+

Gerik sniffs at the strange, and sometimes unpleasant smells carrying on the wind; sweaty humans and oily carnival food. Still, he had to admit that it was difficult to remain cheerless; especially given the company he kept. "I suppose. I just hope these humans subscribe to the idea of building codes."

+ ------

The transition from blinding sunlight and roaring crowds to the cool, moist underground is a welcome one; at least for Gerik. Stepping off the elevator, the Disaggregator grips his friend's hand a little tighter as the motley group around them files off and heads for the fighting pits. He glances Kezza with mounting excitement, "Can you hear it, Kez? The din of battle! The clash of steel! This is going to be so much fun."

+

Kezza flicks her ears, feeling nervous butterflies in her stomach for the first time. Still she nods, "After we've decimated the Destroyers, did you have a preference for the next biome?"

+

He squeezes her hand, perhaps unknowingly swept away by his enthusiasm, "I've always wondered how these human bandits come apart.."

+

As they reach their final descent, the pavilion's depth opens up in full to them. To sensitive asuran ears, the noise is almost overwhelming, but excitement allows Kezza to carry on. She gives his hand a squeeze in turn, privately embarassed by having held it this long.

The crowd at the center of the six pits gathers around long tables adorned with a wide assortment of food, offering something for every race's palate. The smell is only somewhat tainted by the sulfurous emissions of the lava pit.

Kezza grips the pommel of her sword, partially eager to wield it, and partially to soothe herself amidst a population where many would like to see her dead.

Talking Textile: Bright Red Cherries

Just tell me about yourself briefly and your business. What name do you want to be referred by?

Happy to be referred to as Cherry

I started Bright Red Cherries 10 years ago, the same time that I started maternity leave with my eldest son. I've always loved craft and it was a chance for me to crochet, sew, design and create. Over the years, crochet has overtaken all other crafts. For me, crochet is the perfect hobby. It gives me time to be still in a world that just keeps getting busier as it allows me to be both mindful and mindless at the same time.

How do you work with wool?

Crochet is my thing. I love how portable it is. There are no stitches to drop and all you need is a hook and yarn, both of which I always have with me for all the times I find myself waiting (school, sports, appointments, etc��)

If you could choose one pivotal moment in your career, what would it be?

Starting my Etsy shop in 2017 was a pivotal moment.  A friend encouraged me to write up some of my patterns and helped me open the shop. Since then Bright Red Cherries has grown a lot. I've connected with fellow crocheters all over the world and it has been wonderful to share my passion for crochet and colour.

What are the professional achievements you are most proud of?

Launching a kit with KPC is certainly a highlight and something I never would have thought would happen. I'm so grateful for the opportunity.  I'm also very proud of my Stabby Granny Star blanket. I wanted to create a pattern that could be made from an existing yarn stash. I like that the pattern focuses on using what you have rather than buying more. The pattern was launched just before Covid19 meaning that many of us were stuck at home and using your yarn stash seemed like the perfect way to pass the time.

If there is one thing you wish you’d know when you were starting out in wool, what would it be?

Most definitely the' magic no ends' knot. If you don't know about it, I have a video on my IG feed.  It means there is no weaving in ends when you have to join yarn - it's a game-changer!

Why do you think wool and handmade textiles are so fashionable right now?

There are a lot of love that goes in to handmade items. Whether you have made them yourself or ordered from a maker, a personalized item is a gift from the heart and comes with a lot of love. In a world where you can buy almost anything, and something made just for you is special.

What is your dream wool project?

I love making blankets. I like to think of them as canvases as I work on colours and texture and build up the layers to make the final piece.

Who are the artists who have most greatly inspired you?

Kezz Brett's paintings are divine! I love her use of colour. One day I've promised myself I'll treat myself to one of her prints.

What is your favourite woolen item in your wardrobe or home?

My most favourite blankets are the ones I've made my two boys.  My heart melts when I see them snuggled asleep under a blanket I've made them. Plus, they are so sweet when they are asleep!

Where do you work?

I wear a few hats. I'm a mum to two boys (aged 10 and 6), I'm a software consultant 4 days a week and am also in my 4th year of a Bachelor of Early Childhood Education. In between all that comes crochet.

What is your ideal of a good beginner’s task?

Certainly a giant granny square blanket. When I teach people how to make a granny square and then tell them they have all the skills they need to make a blanket they look at me in wonder. A giant granny square blanket is a great project as it builds confidence and increases muscle memory. Once that's mastered you can move on to other more complicated stitches and patterns.

Which is the KPC Yarn hue that really speaks to you?

Gosh, picking one is hard.... I love the marled nature of Honeysuckle but for a single colour - Peacock is probably my favourite as it complements so many other colours in the KPC collection.
