HI , so I have managed to implement infinite scroll , without smarty . And pagination with SMARTY.
But I am unable to implement an infinite scroll with smarty and data fetched through AJAX ( because fetching all data and showing on scroll down would be very inefficient).

The point is , using AJAX ,where I provide with an HTML document's URL ( whose data the infinite scroll fetches) . But when I have to fetch data from a DB and show it on a template , I am utterly confused.
Please Any help/suggestions regarding this is most welcome . Thanks.

I would think infinite scroll and pagination would be mutual exclusive, ie. they are both ways to move through content. Either one could be fetching data from a DB. So I guess I don't know the question. You want to know how to use infinite scrolling (via AJAX) to fetch data from a DB? That would depend on your code both server-side and client-side.

Take any PHP/JS scrolling code that works without Smarty, and simply move the HTML/CSS/JS into a Smarty template. It's that simple. Smarty is agnostic to exactly what is being fed to the browser, it is just text as far as Smarty cares.
