I am using Isotope, i am trying to get lazy load http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload working. however i also reference a plugin called Inview and ImagesLoaded.
I am having trouble getting them to work. my confusion lies in the difference between Inview and Lazy Loading! do these two plugins carry out the same function?
I initially was following this guide http://www.haizumdesign.com/masonry-infinite-scroll-inview-a-tale-of-3-plugins/ but i removed infinite scroll because it freezes my browser. I thought Inview and images loaded was enough to do lazy loading, but then i came across the lazy loading website and i got all confused.
Also it seems that isotope already comes with imagesloaded, so should i stop loading a separate js file?
Please help me, the following is my isotope config
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('#big_container .media_block img').each(function(index) {
var item_height = $(this).attr("height");
$(this).parent().parent().css("height",item_height);
});
$('#big_container').imagesLoaded(function(){
$('#big_container').isotope({
itemSelector : '.item',
layoutMode : 'masonry',
masonry: {
columnWidth: 1,
},
sortBy : 'date',
sortAscending : false,
getSortData : {
date : function ( $elem ) {
return $elem.find('.date').text(); // Date format should be [Y-m-d H:i]
},
views : function( $elem ) {
return parseInt( $elem.attr('data-views'), 10 );
},
//featured : function ( $elem ) {
// return $elem.attr('data-featured');
// },
rates : function( $elem ) {
return parseInt( $elem.attr('data-rates'), 10 );
},
comments : function( $elem ) {
return parseInt( $elem.attr('data-comments'), 10 );
}
}
});
}); //close imagesLoaded
$('#sort-by li a').click(function(){
var $this = $(this);
if ($(this).parent().hasClass('selected') ) {
return false;
}
var $optionSet = $this.parents();
$optionSet.find('.selected').removeClass('selected');
$this.addClass('selected');
var sortName = $(this).attr('href').slice(1);
$('#big_container').isotope({ sortBy : sortName });
return false;
});
});
$(document).on("inview", ".item", function(e) {
var $this = $(this);
if(!$this.hasClass('loaded')) {
$this.addClass('loaded');
$this.css('visibility','visible').hide().fadeIn('slow');
}
});
