Infinite Scroll module released (updated)
 

Hello, X-Carters!

I am glad to announce a release of Infinite Scroll module.

http://www.x-cart.com/sites/default/files/modules/Infinite_Scroll_icon_detailed.png

SEO friendly, quick, trendy Ajax-based add-on which replaces boring pagination with Facebook-wall-like infinite scrolling to the pages of your X-Cart store. When you get to the bottom of the page it automatically loads more products.


The key features are:


http://www.x-cart.com/sites/all/themes/xcartcom/images/checkmark.png Improves load time.
Retains visitors on one page, allowing them to view lots of content without a page refresh.

http://www.x-cart.com/sites/all/themes/xcartcom/images/checkmark.png Products scrolling for 4 lists.
You can enable the functionality for search results page, category products page, manufacturer products, featured products ( each type of pages is managed individually).

http://www.x-cart.com/sites/all/themes/xcartcom/images/checkmark.png Pagination type selector.
The customers may still switch to standard pagination they’re used to - via ‘display mode’ selector ( which can be hidden by the admin at all, though).

http://www.x-cart.com/sites/all/themes/xcartcom/images/checkmark.png Convenient back to top.
‘Back to top’ button in the bottom right corner for quick jump to the top of the page - tiny but so essential detail!

http://www.x-cart.com/sites/all/themes/xcartcom/images/checkmark.png Adaptive products list.
Whatever display your customers use, standard or widescreen, the module will adjust the products list accordingly.

Hi Alexander
1) Live demo of such module is very necessary could you please where I can see the live demo ?

2) Also can you please tell me how google will see the page ? for example If I have 100 featured products then still google will index all products ? On google result page when some one click the link google will redirect it to featured product list page or to product page ?

3) This module will work with CDSEO ?

Does this works with custom templates?

Re: Infinite Scroll module released
 

As every module it will work without changes on stock XC skin. It will work on custom skins as well but you will have to modify it and maybe the template as well...

Re: Infinite Scroll module released
 

Yes, it's supposed to work. You just need to patch custom templates manually using patch files from "infinite-scroll.patch" folder.

Or you can purchase it along with the installation service and we will install it for you and make that it's working.

Re: Infinite Scroll module released
 

We understand the importance of the live demo and considering it.
At this moment only the video is available.


Google should see the pages the same way they were before module installation.


In general yes, but we have not tested it. If you have any problems, please contact our support team.

Re: Infinite Scroll module released (updated)
 

We have just installed this mod and it works well but have a few thoughts:

- the script which works out the height of cells did not work properly and left huge gaps between products. We have fixed by manually specifiying heights

- we have 'search_in_subcategories' set to 'Y' in products.php so it displays products from subcategories in root categories as well. However this not does not appear to work in infinite filter?

- If you look at the source code of a page it displays the products as they were in the original template without Infinite Scroll installed. The Infinite Scroll template is not shown in the pages source at all. My worry would be that Google would see this is a form of cloaking as the original template on our site had the short description being used and so was quite different in content and layout. If Google were to work out how to view this Infinite Scroll view it may impose penalties for this?

Thoughts welcome on this

Rocky, could you shed some light on how "SEO Friendly" this module is ?

Or give us some clues as to the SEO advantages with this module, seeing as it's one of your main selling points.

Just curious...

I personally don't think it's SEO friendly at all, but I'd like to be told otherwise...
