PUBLIC MARKS from decembre with tags autopager & firefox

PageZipper automatically loads the contents of "next page" links right underneath the current page, so you can scroll down instead of clicking through. It's quite similar to another extension called AutoPager, and I like that it doesn't show its page breaks the way AutoPager does. Where PageZipper hasn't caught up with AutoPager yet is in the way it deals with tricky "next page" links. AutoPager lets you find them manually and train it, while PageZipper relies on its own (granted, very good) autodetection.

une extension complète et très pratique pour Firefox, SmarterFox, qui pour moi est devenue indispensable tant elle fait gagner du temps. Cette extension regorge tellement de bonnes fonctionnalités que j’en ai oublié une fondamentale. Complètement par hasard je me suis aperçu que SmarterFox permet également le défilement à l’infini des pages web comme peuvent le faire AutoPager ou encore PageZipper.

This works on AutoPager 0.5.1.4 or newer version. This is the recording of the steps to create the rule for http://www.pspad.com/en/pspad-extensions.php. This demo shows how to create AutoPager rules for the pages which don't have "Next" in links. They only have a navbar includes all the page numbers like this: Page: [1], 2, 3, 4. The final link xpath get in this tutorial is: //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text()[contains(.,'[')]/following-sibling::a[1] Steps explains: //div[@id='obspoz']/p :select the navbar. //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text() : select the texts in the navbar since current page number does not have a node //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text()[contains(.,'[')] : select the text for the current page number. It will be easier if the current page number has a node, for example if it's a span with class='current': //div[@id='obspoz']/p/span[@class='current']. //div[@id='obspoz']/p/text()[contains(.,'[')]/following-sibling::a[1] : select the first link after the current page number text.

This script will unpaginate any web pages augmented by the pagination microformat, into what traditionally (if somewhat incorrectly) has been called "endless" Google, Flickr, and similar, pages. In other words, a hack that loads the next page into the present one when you scroll within about half a screenful of the end, so you don't have to lose the pageful you have to load the next pageful -- it just gets inlined for you, instead. By itself, this script will do nothing at all, because it only contains the code that implements this unpagination; tailoring it to other sites is up to other, much, much smaller custom scripts anyone can write -- or indeed site authors may augment their site templates with, for the benefit of their visitors running this hack, should they want to.

.... when you reach the end of the current page for infinite scrolling of content. By default AutoPager works with a ton of sites, including Lifehacker, the New York Times, Digg, eBay, Amazon, Yahoo, YouTube, flickr, live, msn, myspace, wikipedia, ebay,taobao,Twitter and, of course, Google. AutoPager is a free software. AutoPager is also an open source software.

Example Greasemonkey script below. The only things that need to be changed are bolded italic. In short, the XPath that identifies the top-level DIV, the XPath that identifies the DIV containing the content you want to display, and a list of XPath's that you want to remove.

More hackable. I wrote AutoPagerize from scratch with some utility functions (like Mochikit Deferred, etc.) and tiny cross-browser supports. This script does NOT consider Firefox2, so may not be worked.
