Show More / See More / Endless Scroll

Brenden Kehren asked on July 25, 2014 04:58

Trying to find a way to implement an endless scroll with a button click via portal template. Is this possible without writing a custom webpart or code? If so, what have you done to create it?

Hi Brenden,

I would say it's not possible to achieve this without any customization. Like e.g. search results on the DevNet where we are using custom JS service which gets data via Smart Search API and after that we render them via mustache.js. So yes, it will require some customization. I've seen also a similar implementation on the website of our customer and it was using JS for loading the additional data too.

Best regards, Martin

Thanks Martin! Wonder if REST could be used vs. another .js plugin?

Hi Brenden,

let me get back to you because my colleague Jan has published KB article that will provide you with a solution: Dynamic jQuery AJAX viewer.

Best regards, Martin

I was just thinking about the same question.

I was wondering about creating a custom page type called Section that would hold all the content (html, background image references, etc.) for a page section that would then be drawn to a page as a data list. I figured I could use the pager functionality to handle the "show more" functionality.

Still have to work on how to go about showing page sections based on engagement scoring and personas but one thing at a time.

Hi Brenden, did you figure the endless scroll out? I am looking into the same thing as well. ESPN uses a good example of it. We have a customer interested. My first thought was to use hierarchical viewer but not sure that will work. Interested in what you found out.

Thanks, Carl
