Support ajaxified pagination of shortcodes in post_meta fields #2

Open bobbingwide opened 8 years ago

bobbingwide commented 8 years ago

For bobbingwide/oik-requests/issues/1 we intend to store the summary information for files, queries, and hooks in post_meta data associated with each oik-request post. This information will be displayed on tabs on the oik-requests page. Since there can be a massive amount of data the display needs to be paginated And we would prefer pagination to be ajaxified.

Proposed solution

Find a simple solution to support pagination of fields which contain shortcodes, such that shortcode expansion is only performed on the subset of data being displayed on the current page.

The current solution using [bw_field field] appears to work when the field contains a paginatable shortcode, but the Ajax call attempts to process the wrong shortcode. We would need to load the field and treat it as the post_content.

We're going to use the [bw_navi] shortcode to implement this, using a new field=fieldname parameter and passing posts_per_page when navigation is required.
