#40 CoolPreviews add-on stops working once streaming starts
Good evening OptimizeGoogle Team!
Please accept my gratitude for such an amazing add-on that is one of the few that I install on every machine I touch. With the recent Google layout update, I’ve noticed that when I enable the streaming search results option in OptimizeGoogle, the mouseover preview works perfect for the images that should show up on what would be each results page (if each page contains 30 images, the 31 image will not exhibit preview behavior), however, when you start scrolling the results page, the CoolPreviews icon doesn’t show up and neither does the automatic image preview. I was wondering if you were aware of this, and if you were, what I could do to fix it.
I use OptimizeGoogle specifically for the streaming options (though I turn on some of the other features) and would love to see this issue fixed. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Edward
Assuming CoolPreviews does its work on the page-load event (I don't know because I haven't looked at it), I'm not sure that we can do much to fix this, sorry.
When OG streams new results, it doesn't actually reload the page, just fetches the next results and adds them into the current page. So they wouldn't be processed by anything which activates on the page-load. It is possible that Cool Previews could be altered to re-process the page based on a timer or on clicks or something. You would need to talk to the developer of that extension, I think.
HTH!
