Custom display for infinite scroll

If you chose the mode “Use my own theme search template”, you can do whatever you want already.

In this mode, the wpsolr ajax template is not used. It is your theme’s search template which is used: you can then do really what you want.

What template are you talking about?
I already use this mode, but it’s not working. It d’ont use my temlate for the items loaded in ajax.

With this mode, the standard WordPress search is replaced (urls containing ?s=), but not your theme’s search UI.

That’s why i use a search.php template that customize the display, but not for the ajax items.

There a plenty of WP themes that uses infinite scrolls. Use them.

Can you give me more exlaination about how to customize those ajax items for the infinite scroll?

I didn’t succeed do find a theme working with infinite scrolls and don’t use the default display.

And I’m always keeping in mind :

For me, the reply of the ajax call is made in the ajax_solr_services.php/return_solr_results() function, whitch itself call the WPSolrSearchSolrClient::display_results method that build the response. But never call an external template or something like this.

There must be something i don’t know/understand.

That’s why i use a search.php template that customize the display, but not for the ajax items.

If you do so, with the “Use my own theme search template” option, there is no more Ajax items. It’s a standard WP search loop, that you manage as you want.

with the “Use my own theme search template” option, there is no more Ajax items

So if understand well. I have a choice to make :
I can use infinite scroll with your default templates.
Or i can define my own templates to display what i want. But in that case there is no way to use the infinite scroll properly.
But you say this earlier :

A simple feature : be able to use a custom template for infinite scroll

If you chose the mode “Use my own theme search template”, you can do whatever you want already.

But it just seem to be false.

From the code it doesn’t seems possible to customize the output of infinite scroll (from ajax requests) and all your answsers are confusing (“yes it’s possible” but “no more ajax if use your own theme”).

The confusion comes from the mix of Ajax and infinite scroll concepts in the same thread.

1) I agree, the Ajax does not use templates, that you could override.

2) If you want a good entry point to infinite scroll, read js/jquery.infinitescroll.js
With it you can build your own search.php infinite scroll, with the current wpsolr ajax look&feel

3) I you want to change the Ajax look&feel, you’ll have to rewrite your own return_solr_results() function and display_results() method
