Documentation: Explain what 'Digg style' and 'Twitter style' mean

[andybak]

I visited Digg and can't work out how it differs from Twitter's ajax endless scrolling.

Also - you say in the docs: "If Ajax pagination is not needed"

What does it even mean to have endless pagination without Ajax?

Ideally a demo would be great but failing that - screenshots for Digg/Twitter both with and without Ajax would be really illuminating.

Yeah, I'm also lost as to the difference... This project is forked from an older one and I'm wondering if Digg has changed their pagination since. Doing a Google search it seems that Digg used to have a numbered pagination bar similar to what Google has on standard search results.

I will try to set up a test project (maybe this week) on a sub-domain of the organization. Then you can watch how the current version.

[tisdall]

Screenshots should be sufficient, but then you have to update those when changes occur. The major thing is, I don't think Digg actually has "Digg style pagination" as defined by this project (any more).

[shtalinberg]

How would it be called right?

[tisdall]

You could call it "old style Digg". The major thing is not the naming but the lack of anything other than a name to explain what it is. That's why I suggested a screenshot, so people would be able to figure out the difference from the picture.

[shtalinberg]

differences pictures are not enough to be understanding (work via ajax) best way for seen it's goto contributing http://django-el-pagination.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing.html and run the Django development server via $ make server for comparison

[tisdall]

I think the point was that pictures would be better than saying "Digg style" when Digg no longer uses that style... At worst, saying "Digg style" is now misleading.

[digicase]

How about removing references to Digg or Twitter, and use 'numbered' or 'infinite scroll' instead to describe the pagination styles.

[jedie]

Yes, it's IMHO more confusion.

It would be also great to have screenshots or better: Have a demo page.

I saw the example in the unittests. What's about to made it easier to run this examples locally?

[Premitium]

Is there a working demo of those somewhere?

[thelinuxkid]

@shtalinberg I was able to get the server running using the instructions on https://django-el-pagination.readthedocs.io/en/latest/contributing.html. However, I had to install Django manually with pip install django before running make server.

@andybak @tisdall, etc, here are screenshots of the two styles: Twitter Style Digg Style

@thelinuxkid Thanks! Never expected to have this answered after 2 and half years. :)
