## Description

** We are discontinuing support of this plugin **

_Due to many themes and caching plugins either having support for Lazy loading or
overriding the hooks that this plugin uses, we have decided to no longer support
this plugin_

Lazy Load for WooCommerce includes the functionality to properly append Lazy Load
into the image loop for WooCommerce in product listings (shop category and product
listing). It has been tested against WooCommerce 2.6.4 and should work back to WooCommerce
2.1.0 (untested). This does not apply to the individual product image, but anywhere
they are used in the loop (by default, the unordered list).

## Screenshots

 * Setting up the placeholder for the category and product images that will be used
   for Lazy Load (it will match the shop catalog image dimensions).

## Installation

 1. Download the plugin
 2. Install the plugin
 3. Make sure your Catalog image dimensions are set to your preference (this is used
    for the dimensions in this plugin)
 4. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Products and click the “Lazy Load” option.
 5. Set your custom placeholder image (full src). This is optional as it will default
    to the WooCommerce Placeholder image.

To note, you will need to have jQuery running for this to work. To reduce conflicts,
we have chosen not to include jQuery. To include jQuery, just use the following 
in your template functions file: `wp_enqueue_script('jquery');`

Additionally, we allow for you to modify the available functions for Lazy Load. 
To dequeue the plugin functions and use your own, use `wp_dequeue_script('lazyload-
call');`. See http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload for a full rundown of 
options (trigger loading, effects, images in containers, nonsequential images, invisible
images, etc.).

## FAQ

  Does this plugin work with the newest WP/WooCommerce version and also older versions?

Since it’s fairly basic it should. It’s a very lightweight plugin.

You will need to manually call in jQuery support if you don’t already have it running(
see Installation Instructions).

Your WooCommerce installation needs to support `shop_catalog` which has been an 
initiated image size since WooCommerce 1.6.2 at least.

Secondarily, there should be support for WooCommerce’s placeholder image (not an
absolute requirement for loading since you can put in your own, but the tab may 
not be visible or in the same location in older versions of WooCommerce). The placeholder
image function for WooCommerce has been updated to `wc_placeholder_img_src` so previous
instances of `woocommerce_placeholder_img_src` have been deprecated as of 2.1.0.

  What is WooCommerce’s image loop?

We are basically replacing WooCommerce’s hook of `woocommerce_template_loop_product_thumbnail`
with our own (for Lazy Load). This is used in the `content-product.php` template
file. If your WooCommerce theme has been customized (YOURTHEME/woocommerce/content-
product.php) then in some cases this has been altered. The hook runs as part of `
do_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title' )`.

We’ve done the same in version 1.3 of our plugin with `woocommerce_subcategory_thumbnail`.

  If I have a custom image loop, can I still use the plugin?

It would probably be best if you were to manually configure the source LazyLoad 
script ([http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload](http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/lazyload))
to reduce code bloat. It is possible to use our plugin and then add the class “lazy”
to your image and replace the image src with your placeholder image and add `data-
original` to link to your thumbnail. You would also need to add width/height to 
the image element.

I thought it did exactly what it was supposed to do but then I loaded some catalog
pages like the main shop page and items that are visible (above the fold) are not
loaded and show a huge placeholder (bigger than the actual thumbnail) till you scroll
past the items. Strange thing is that it doesn’t happen with the first item on the
same row. So for example, my shop has 3 columns and multiple rows. row 1: images
get loaded correctly (though the placeholder I probably need to choose with the 
same exact size as my thumbnails are shown on the front end since it’s still a bit
ugly to first see a big placeholder, before you get the much smaller loaded thumbmail)
row2, item 1: correct (like row 1) row2, item 2 and all other following items: not
loaded, despite all being above the fold and clearly visible and at the same exact
height as item 1 Please have a look at this as I expect it’s a bug that can be easily
solved. Otherwise, nice plugin.
