django-pagemore 0.2.0

Requirements

• Django 1.3+

• jQuery

Features

• Non-intrusive: your Django view is completely unaware of dynamic load-more stuff going on.

• There is literally no code (no Python, no Javascript) required to get a fully AJAX style “load more” going.

• KISS

Quickstart

• Write your view as usual, handing over an (unpaginated) list of items to a template.

• Render the list of items in your template as follows:

  {% load pagemore %}
  {% more_paginator items per_page=10 ordered_by="-created_at" as paginator %}
  
  {% for item in paginator.objects %}
  {% if forloop.first %}
  <div class="pagemore-container">
  {% endif %}
  {{item}}
  {% if forloop.last %}
  </div>
  {% if paginator.has_more %}
  <a class="pagemore-paginator" href="?{{paginator.next_query}}">More items...</a>
  {% endif %}
  {% endif %}
  {% endfor %}
  
  <script type="text/javascript" src="{{STATIC_URL}}pagemore/js/pagemore.js"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
      $(function() { $(".pagemore-paginator").pagemore(); });
  </script>

• That’s all!

Pagination Strategies

When a user is paginating through a list of items, while at the same time new items are being inserted, offset based slicing would result in duplicate items being shown. A way to circumvent this is to make sure that the items are properly ordered and to filter on items after a certain point. Both strategies are supported.

{% more_paginator ... strategy="slice" ... %}

{% more_paginator ... strategy="filter" ... %}
