"Load More" alternative to paging on news summary?

I think it can be done, but I don't have a working example.

It would probably involve the pagination functionality and 'ajaxifying' the 'next page' links.

It should return the next 5 articles which you append to the page.

This article is about the basics of Ajax and News (CMSMS in general):

I would recommend make a working example with static html files (perhaps just on local machine). If that works like you want it to, 'translate' it to cmsms.

Yes of course it can be done. CMSMS can do anything that can be done with javascript and ajax. It's a matter of figuring out how.

Seems the I-Do-This team worked out how to do it at

Haven't tried it myself but I'd try starting with a counter variable, eg x=6 and number of articles to show is 5. Then the button would be a module action link starting at var $x and number of articles to show is 5, on click initiate ajax function to append the next 5 articles and increase $x by 5.
