getResources infinite scroll - is it possible?

Hi all,

I’m using getResources to pull in a load of results based on some defined criteria… I’d love to implement a way to tell getResources to pull lets say 20 results at a time, so in effect use pagination - but rather than have the pagination link to new pages, stay on the same page and load in results below the previous 20… I’ve looked at the examples I can find online, but none of them seem to work for me? I was wondering if anyone had a good example somewhere I could follow to try and implement the solution? I guess I need an Ajax call to call 20 results at a time to be displayed some how… any ideas?

Ideal solution would be to not even had a load more button, and fire the AJAX call to bring in the next 20 results when the user scrolls to near the bottom of the current 20

There’s a JQuery example here that you might be able to adapt.

You could use $modx->runSnippet(‘getResources’, $params) using limit and offset in the processor.

I would do it with a button at first before trying to adapt it to load automatically on scroll. Here’s some code for that.

you could also switch to pdoTools and use pdoResources with pdoPage.
It has build-in ajax-mode

Thanks Bruno - I am so far down the getResources avenue I will have to flog that horse a little more first… if that fails - will look at pdoTools - I assume I can do all the fancy getResources as per other forum post on pdoTools like I am with getResources?

Thanks Bob. Not sure I have the skills to work out how to take this none MODx solution and apply the logic… will have a go…
