Bonjour à toutes et à tous, Nous venons de migrer 52 000 discussions de notre ancien forum (ServiceNow) vers Discourse. Tout s’est bien passé, mais nous buttons sur un point d’ergonomie : le scroll infini de la page d’accueil rend notre footer totalement inaccessible. Pour améliorer l’expérience utilisateur et garantir la visibilité de nos liens institutionnels, nous cherchons une solution pour interrompre ce défilement. Existe-t-il un plugin (officiel ou custom) permettant de mettre en place une pagination classique ou un bouton “Afficher plus” ? Savez-vous si une fonctionnalité de ce type est prévue dans la roadmap officielle de Discourse ? Merci d’avance pour vos conseils et vos retours d’expérience ! Excellente fin de semaine à vous. :slight_smile: Fabien.

[image] FabienL: Do you know if such a feature is planned in the official Discourse roadmap? I can answer this one: no, not at all. Infinite scroll on the topiclist is not something we’re planning to manoeuvre around. There are lots of topics about that subject already to be found on this site. And afaik, no one has ever implemented anything custom either. What you could look at is to use the Custom landingspage feature, which would allow you to build a custom landingspage, so your footer could appear on the very first page at least.

In addition to the options Charlie suggested, it may also be sufficient to configure the homepage so that it displays categories rather than the latest topics. That list isn’t infinite. The homepage is defined by the first element in the top_menu site setting.

And keeping mind @Moin suggestion, OP could remember that users can change that functionality and start using /latest — and again footer is missing. Meaning that design should plan using way where footer is not that important. The factoid is users aren’t using footer that often. More admins like idea of a footer.

Is the footer the component adds visible on pages like /latest with infinite scrolling? When I tried it it was not, so I am curious what customizations you have added that made you suggest it as a solution for the infinite scrolling problem.

[image] Moin: Is the footer the component adds visible on pages like /latest with infinite scrolling? Ah - I think you are right. It worked on our ‘landing page’ as we suppressed the topic list (that site is now defunct). But I do wonder if it could be quite easily modified to show on infinite lists.
