Issue with Ajax and WordPress Shortcode

[chrchcol]

I have an ajax menu that grabs content and displays it in a content window. That is working perfectly except it is stripping the [productpage] shortcode for wp-ecommerce from the order page if you click the link from the menu to get to that page

Here is the function for the menu

function get_page_content(){ 
        global $wpdb;
        $page_url = isset($_POST['page_url']) ? $_POST['page_url'] : '';
        if ( $page_url ) {
            $postid = url_to_postid( $page_url );
            /* $post = get_post($postid); 
            $content = $post->post_content;
            $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
            $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
            echo $content; */

            $the_query = new WP_Query( 'page_id='.$postid );
            while ($the_query -> have_posts()) : $the_query -> the_post();
                simple_boostrap_display_post(false);
            endwhile;

        } else{
            echo 'Invalid request';
        }
        die;
}

When you say it is stripping the [productpage] short code, what exactly is it doing? Omitting that entirely, showing that exact text, or something else?

If I had to hazard a guess (and without more details it really is just a guess) I would assume the issue to be with:

$content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);

It shows [productpage] when clicking the order button from the menu. However if I load the page directly without going through the menu, it shows the cart fine. I also wanted to mention that add filter bit is commented out.

I’m not familiar with WP e-Commerce, but it sounds like whatever method you’re using to call this page up via Ajax is bypassing whatever hooks are used in the plugin for parsing their plugin-specific short codes.

It’s rather a nightmare to provide any meaningful suggestion without having more information.
