Updated AJAX App for DJ-Classifieds
We have added some great new features to the Ajax App for DJ-Classifieds.
Infinite scroll, masonry layout and progress bar!
Due to the release of a template from Joomla-Monster.com - myOffers, we have updated the Ajax Search plugin.
Pagination and Infinite Scroll (Lazy Loading)
The previous version of DJ-Classifieds AJAX App could switch pages with the Ajax calls, but the update that comes in version 1.3.1 brings the new quality to it. Now you can set it to load the next items while you are scrolling the category/search result page!
As you can see the exemplary image the items are being dynamically loaded when scrolling.
This infinite scroll solution can be enabled by opening the System - DJ-Classifieds Ajax plugin and selecting "Yes" in "On Pagination" setting, then "Yes" in "Items Lazy Loading" and selecting the way you want the pagination to be displayed. Possible options:
- Hide - no pagination will be visible
- Show - Display pagination at the bottom of the page
- Fixed - the pagination is displayed in fixed, top-right position (check if this works fine with your template as in some cases it may need a little CSS styling in your template to look fine)
Masonry Layout
With the infinite scroll/lazy loading feature, we have also introduced the Masonry layout.
You can enable the masonry layout available in “Pagination options” tab.
This way the items will fit one after another with different heights displaying as the masonry layout.
Enabling this feature will disable the equal height script and make the items fitting nicely in Masonry layout.
See the example:
Progress Bar
You can enable the little nifty scroller bar that shows the progress when loading the new items.
