WordPress theme ajax have_posts()

by

My goal here is to load the blogroll into my theme via ajax. But all that I can get as response is 0 (if I omit the die() line, else I get a blank response).

Here is my code:

js ajax:

$.ajax({
    url:"http://domain.com/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php",
    type:'POST',
    data:'action=load_men_blog',
    //dataType:'html',
    //cache: false,
    success: function(html){
        $("#b_contentwrapper").empty();
        $("#b_contentwrapper").append(html);
    }
});

PHP (functions.php) :

function implement_ajax() {
    while (have_posts()):
      echo "azerty";
    endwhile;
    die();
}
add_action('wp_ajax_load_men_blog', 'implement_ajax');
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_load_men_blog', 'implement_ajax');

Since I have posts in my database, I expect azerty to be returned. But yet I receive a blank response or 0 if I comment the die() line. If I place any echo outside the while loop I get the echo in the expected div, which means that the javascript is working.

Anyone can point me in the right direction?

The issue here is that you haven’t queried any posts. Before have_posts try adding something like, query_posts( 'posts_per_page=5' );
