The convenience of scrolling – and we mean Infinite scrolling – is now on the pages of ForumEngine.
This new feature is an additional option so if you still opt to use a paginator, nothing will change.
But for those who want to try the Infinite Scroll, enable the button in the admin page: Engine Settings > Settings > Content > Infinite Scroll.
Infinite scroll is applied to the following pages in the frontend:
– Thread list
– Search result list
– Category page
– Blog listing
– Single thread page
As you scroll down, the page will automatically keep loading until the last text of the thread or page.
Besides the infinite scroll, we also made a slight improvement on the text editor of the forms: Create topic, Edit reply, Edit thread, etc. This is a technical change and your forms are loaded faster now.
Change Log
– Fix the static page settings after theme activation
– Design error on the Reply textbox
– If a user writes a reply before he logs in, the reply is not displayed after he signed in.
– Forum Categories widget is duplicated after editing the widget title.
– Update the website title on mobile version
When do you expect to release JE with the ‘infinite scroll’ feature?
Yeah it would be a great idea for JE. However, providing a good user experience with the infinite scroll requires more thoughts on the footer area & the other filter-related issues. We’ll consider this before giving any decision.
Thanks for your feedback.
