How can I call a php / wordpress command from JavaScript?

Question

I'm trying to create a lightbox effect for a self-made WordPress Theme. But I'm trying to include a WordPress page in the body through jQuery.

For example, in my js file.

    $('.button').Click(function(){

    $(body).append('`<div><?php get_template_part('content','thing'); ?></div>`');

});

I've tryed that and then my php file doesn't reproduce the php bit.

Thanks.

Answer 1

try

  $('.button').Click(function(){

    $(body).append("<div><?php get_template_part('content','thing'); ?></div>");

});

Remember to use this jquery in a php file not in JS file.

You can call a ajax functions that returns your php result.

Like (Seems you're using jQuery):

$.get("templatepart.php", function(data) {
  $(body).append("<div>"+ data +"</div>");
})

And in your php file ("templatepart.php"):

<?php
  // after includes/requires/etc functions
  get_template_part('content','thing');
?>
