Steps to reproduce:

  1. go to GoMexSI website
  2. inspect statistics section on first page.

Expected: A non-empty list of references containing the gomexsi statistics.

Actual: All zeros for statistics. See attached screenshot screen shot 2013-11-11 at 9 21 18 pm .

I checked the GloBI webservice, and this returns non-zero values.

For instance, on Nov 11, 2013 9:30 Pacific Time, http://trophicgraph.com:8080/info?source=http://gomexsi.tamucc.edu returned :

{
  "columns" : [ "number of studies", "number of interactions", "number of distinct source taxa (e.g. predators)", "number of distinct target taxa (e.g. prey)" ],
  "data" : [ [ 49, 69584, 273, 1247 ] ]
}

Please do note that adding distinct predator and district prey is not accurate, because there might be species that are both predator and prey.

Long story short: The statistics were working for non-logged in users, but not for logged in users. Now it works for both.

The long story: AJAX calls made through the WordPress AJAX manager must be specified as either privileged (logged in) or non-privileged (not logged in). I didn't realize that making the AJAX call non-privileged meant that it will NOT work for a logged in user. Now I have an action in the WordPress AJAX manager for both privileged and non-privileged. (I'm writing this explanation so that if we add a similar feature somewhere down the road and encounter the same issue, we'll have a reminder.)
