Increase the number of listings on the Admin Listings page Can't Post
On the Listings page in the Admin interface, the number of listings is defaulted to 25. I know I can select more in the perPage dropdown.

Is there anyway to have the default be a higher number? I can't find the file to change that?

Hi Kevin

Thanks for posting!

That's a good idea. There isn't an easy way just yet to do that but I've added it to the feature list. I don't know for sure which version it will make it into though.

For now, if you want, I can walk you through a code change to set a new default.

Open up the following file:
/lib/menus/default/list_functions.php

look for this line:
# set defaults

Right after that add this:
$perPage = 3;

Change the 3 to whatever you want it to be. Save and upload.

Thanks!

Perfect, worked great.

Let me just say, I really appreciate all the developers taking the time to get customers answers and work arounds to problems.

It also helps that the code is nicely written and clean!

Thanks!

Ross,

I noticed that while this worked, it seemed to hard code the result set to whatever I placed in the variable. So if I put 100 in, I couldn't force it to only show 25 if I selected 25 and hit Search.

Let me know if this is another work around:

In list_functions.php

I changed this line:
Code
if (!$perPage) { $perPage = getFirstDefinedValue(@$lastState['perPage'], 25); }

To this:
Code
if (!$perPage) { $perPage = getFirstDefinedValue(@$lastState['perPage'], 100); }

Now if I close the browser and log back in, it defaults the list to 100, however it now allows me to change to another value.

If I wanted more, I could change the line to:
Code
if (!$perPage) { $perPage = getFirstDefinedValue(@$lastState['perPage'], 500); }

However, then it seems I need to add another <option> to the select list in list.php

Let me know what you think.

By the way....what stores the value of what option you chose in the search within the browser session? Is it a cookie? For example, if I choose a per page value of 5 from the dropdown and hit search.....that 5 value sticks unless I close the browser.

Ok, I'm guessing that it's stored in the session cookie *_editorStates

Hi Kevin

Yes, the values are stored in cookies and the code I suggested basically overrides this. Could you swap my code from yesterday with this:

if (!$perPage) { $perPage = 2; }

That will check if you select something from the drop down and use it instead of the default. The code goes in the exact sample place.

Let me know what you think :).

Ross,

That setting did not seem to have any affect. I think it's due to the previous line above in that file:

if (!$perPage) { $perPage = getFirstDefinedValue(@$lastState['perPage'], 25); }

The 25 in that line is what causes the system to default to the per page option of 25. If I change that to 100, and make sure that in list.php there is a <option <?php selectedIf($listDetails['perPage'], '100')?>>100</option> in the code, then I default to 100.

Hi Kevin

Just wanted to make sure this was working for you. I am thinking the problem may have been I started from scratch again when I did the second post.

Let me know if you still need a hand with this and we'll go from there. Thanks!

Ross,

I do have the functionality working.

I just changed this line:
if (!$perPage) { $perPage = getFirstDefinedValue(@$lastState['perPage'], 25); }

To this:
if (!$perPage) { $perPage = getFirstDefinedValue(@$lastState['perPage'], 100); }

Then I needed to just make sure that in list.php there is a <option <?php selectedIf($listDetails['perPage'], '100')?>>100</option> in the code.

Everything is working perfect now.

Thanks for the followup.

-Kevin
