Control page size with URL parameters

Hi guys,

I have a situation where I need to combine products with banner ads in a page.

The challenge is that we try to configure the banners to be the size of one Product slot or 2 Product slots but not all pages will have banners.

My question is if I can ask for products with a start position and end position instead of PageNum as I might need 9 products for the first page and 10 products for the subsequent pages.

Of course, this means that I will have to implement infinite scroll as the pagination will be very affected.

I have no other idea how to solve this but I am opened to suggestions if anybody has alternatives.

Thank you,

Adrian

Pagenum and pagesize together can do some of that for you.

Getting 1-9: Pagenum=1&pagesize=9

Getting 10-20: Pagenum=2&pagesize=10

Getting 53-63 is a bit more difficult as 53 is a prime number, so it does not break into other pagesizes than 1 and 53.

Getting 12-17 is also difficult. You get the point.

Hi Nicolai,

Thank you very much. This is very useful information.

I don't think that we will get more than 10 pages for most of the categories, which means that we should be on the safe side with this approach.

Thank you,

Adrian
