We have released a new version with new features and improvements.
- There is now a floating reply bar over every thread longer than 1 page that will take you to the editor when clicking on it. It has a scroll progress bar indicating scroll distance, the page number, and a play/pause button to control infinite scrolling.
- There are now four options to control reply behavior:
- Insert reply inline follows default behavior, adding the post to the loaded content.
- Hold reply, display notice with link keeps it out of view and links to it.
- Jump to reply navigates directly to the reply on its own page.
- Confirm reply quietly displays a brief message and makes no changes to the loaded posts.
- Infinite scrolling is now available in direct messages
- Fixed broken infinite scrolling in article forums
- Our shared branding is now integrated. Removal at no extra cost.
Fix: Whats new posts banner 'Threads below have not been updated since your last visit.' would would only display on page 1. If on page 2 or further, would not show.
Change: 'Resume loading' button is now 'Resume scrolling'. Phrase can be changed.
Change: Bottom pagination is now always visible.
Change: Reorganized and renamed options slightly
Added: Pause button is now available inside page dividers, so users may pause infinite scrolling if they need to access pagination or other reasons. Pause button will not show up on the last page. Once the user hits pause, the resume scrolling button will appear at the bottom. This change applies to discussion list, threads, and whats new posts.
Currently, the pause feature is not available for [XB] Forum Content List Tabs because the add-on does not use pagination. Will consider adding in the future.
Fix: Extra query parameter removed when clicking on page number in threads and posts
Fix: Array to string conversion error occurred when filtering prefixes with Multi Prefix installed.
Add: All text is fully phrased now for easy translation.
Known Issues:
- Added: Mobile scrolling distance option. I added this option to help counteract long sidebars below content.
- Added: User preference option to disable infinite scrolling. This user preference is enabled by default.
- Added: User group permission to use infinite scrolling.
- Added: Clicking on Page X in the page divider will now take you to that page.
- AdSense does not work between posts. I'm currently working on getting an AdSense account set up to test this.
- Depending on your uBlock configuration, it may block the infinite scrolling script. I changed the ad detection class infinite-scroll-ad-container to infinite-scroll-container to help counter act this. It's working on my end with uBlock enabled, but I would like feedback regarding this.
Fix: Better handling to prevent duplicate entries at the end of the list.
Added: Infinite scrolling to [XB] Forum Content List Tabs
Supports Thread tab and News Feed tab
'Show "View more" button' option must be set for each tab for this to work
Maximum entries for these tabs should be set to 20 or more.
This is the real reason I made this add-on for my site. It allows a Discourse like view on the index page.
