Excellent module! I have many views on many websites that contain very long lists users have to page through. Your module would solve that elegantly.

But I wonder how do search engines "see" such long pages? Do they see only whatever the initial list size and skip the rest? If so, they would miss all the other links in the views, which is obviously a problem.

I am sure the author or others have thought about solutions or workarounds related to this -- could you share your thoughts? Thanks!

Hi!
Search engines would only see the first items in the list.
I'll try to figure out a smart workaround for this - but if you use the xml sitemap it will not be a big problem.

Hmm, what about providing a fallback to a normal pager if no javascript is found?

great project btw

It is important that in absence of JavaScript capabilities the output gracefully degrades to paged lists (each with a link to next). The non-JavaScript user (e.g. a bot), or the XML sitemap process, would choke if the endless page fell back into a hugely long HTML.

I'm subscribing to this.
I would say providing an option for a name of a secondary view without the endless format. So one can customize each of the views. for endless page and a normal page for search engines.

Yes, absolutely need a normal pager too.

A complete rewrite of the module will be commited soon - it uses views built in ajax pagination, and will degrade gracefully.
