Question about adding AJAX paginator to activity stream

[gavin-dev21]

Hello, on page 312 it states that you can add the AJAX paginator that you used in the image_list view to the activity stream. I'm wondering how that is done? Do you create a whole new view in actions in order to allow infinite pagination? Or is there a way to use the existing code to implement the same feature but for the activity stream? Any help would be appreciated!

@gavin-dev21 you can use the existing dashboard view to reuse the QuerySets. You could do the following:

1. Replicate the code from the image_list view in the existing dashboard view to implement a Paginator
2. Get the page number as a GET parameter, and use a variable similar to images_only to differentiate a whole page request from an AJAX request.
3. Render the complete dashboard.html template for the whole page request or render a new action/list.html template for AJAX requests.
4. Create the new action/list.html template and use the {% for action in actions %} ... {% endfor %} loop from the dashboard.html template to render actions.
5. Add the infinite-scroll pagination JavaScript code to the dashboard.html template

Perfect, thank you! I got it to work.
