Hi,

 

I joined this group today in the hope that I will get help with one API issue I am having now. I am trying to get the number of user edits through an AJAX call. I have tested this script in English Wikipedia and Malayalam Wikipedia and it works there in all browsers. But this script is not working in Wikipedia Commons.

 

Pasting my script below. Any help with this is appreciated.

 

function liveEditCounter(username)
{
    var xhr;
    try { xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); }
    catch(e)
    {
      xhr = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
    }
 
    xhr.onreadystatechange = function()
    {
         if(xhr.readyState  == 4)
         {
              if(xhr.status  == 200 || xhr.status == 0) {
var jsonOutput = eval('(' + xhr.responseText + ')');
document.getElementById("firstHeading").innerHTML = document.getElementById("firstHeading").innerHTML + " (Edits: " + jsonOutput.query.users[0].editcount + ")";
              }
         }
    };
 
   xhr.open('GET', "http://commons.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=query&list=users&ususers="+username+"&usprop=editcount&format=json",  true);
   xhr.send(null);
}

The issue here is that xhr.responseText is returning me a blank value.
