Endless pagination loading entire page on second page after scroll

[devanasrikanth]

Hi,

i am using twitter style django end less pagination on my website.
On the homepage, the endless pagination works fine and no problems there.
But on the different category page, it is loading the entire page on the second page just with second page items. I am clueless why it is happening only on the category pages and not on the homepage.
It looks like request.is_ajax() is not working when i scroll to second page and reloading the entire page.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

After several attempts, i have delete all the caching and restarted the apache and it all works fine now.

I have the same issue, but I'm running on localhost. Can you please explain how you did the request.is_ajax() ? Also, I'm using class based generic views.

My view looks like below.

def homepage(request):
template = 'homepage.html'
page_template = 'home_page_index.html'

if request.is_ajax():
    template = page_template

return render_to_response(template,
                    {'page_template': page_template,
                    },
                    context_instance=RequestContext(request))

And my Homepage.html looks like below.

        {% include page_template %}
        <script src="{{ STATIC_URL }}endless_pagination/js/endless-pagination.js"></script>
        <script>
            $.endlessPaginate({paginateOnScroll: true, 
                                   paginateOnScrollMargin: 250
                                   });
        </script>

And my home_page_index.html has the actual content that needs to be in pageless scrolling.

But what if you have multiple paginations, and using the decorator is not an option.

[devanasrikanth]

Are you saying that you want to pass different page_template to the same view depending on the area in your site you need scrolling ?

[ubehera]

Correct, like 3 multiple paginations on same view. Using class based generic views right now, but can change to function based views if CBV not an option.

[devanasrikanth]

If there is any way you can recognise the different paginations inside the view, then I think you can write a condition like below inside the view.

if request.is_ajax():
if (pagination1)
template = page_template_1
elif (pagination2)
template = page_template_2

I tried to pull the 'querystring_key' from the request for exactly that purpose, but no luck so far. Not sure if it's the same as the "paginate using 'x'".

[devanasrikanth]

I don't think I can help any further without knowing exactly how your page and code looks.
