Question

I am using wordpress and a plugin called advanced ajax page loader.
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-ajax-page-loader/

I am somewhat familiar with php, javascript and jquery, but not an expert by any means. I have the following block of code that excludes certain pages from loading in ajax and it works great.

jQuery(scope + "a").click(function(event){
    //if its not an admin url, or doesnt contain #
    if (  this.href.indexOf(AAPLhome) >= 0 && this.href.indexOf('/wp-') < 0 && this.href.indexOf('#') < 0 && this.href.indexOf('/search') < 0 && this.href.indexOf('/2013') < 0 && this.href.indexOf('/2012') < 0 && this.href.indexOf('/2011') < 0 && this.href.indexOf('/feed') < 0 && this.href.indexOf('/portfolio') < 0 && this.href.indexOf('/store') < 0 ){
        // stop default behaviour
        event.preventDefault();
});

As you can see I am excluding pages with certain strings in their url.

However I need to target the homepage link and by inserting the home url this way, all pages contain the home url so they are all excluded. I want to be able to insert a hasClass statement in this block of code so I can exclude a link that has a class of ‘homelink’.

This following gave me an error of this.hasClass is not a function.

this.hasClass('homelink')

So I must be doing something wrong but I’m darned if I know what.

I have tried looking at these links but didn’t get much out of it.

Jquery hasClass + If Statement

jQuery — hasClass in if statement not playing nicely

Answer 1

You need to wrap this in $()

$(this).hasClass('homelink');

this in that case is a DOMElement and dom elements don’t have a hasClass method. By passing this to $(), it becomes a jQuery object which does have the hasClass method.
