default "Per Page"

Permalink
Hello,

I'd love to be able to change the items per page from the default 10 to something more realistic like 500? I have a photographic club website and 10 is just pathetic when there is potentially 1000's of photos people can search through or list.. each time you set the limit, when you return sometime later it has gone back to the default 10...

is there anywhere i can make this change permanent or can someone help me do this?
where might i look for the code? etc....

many thanks
pat

Is this in regard to a page list or a gallery block? On a page list you can set any number. Most galleries allow the same.

Thanks tallacman,

No, im referring to the file manager area actually... even putting them into sets doesnt help that much when there are lost of them showing 10 at a time is so time consuming...

Yes i can do that part, sadly this is not a permanent method, the default is only 10 id like to make it much more if that's possible...

In the next release of concrete5, you will be able to set the File Manager Per Page results with a config value.

"add config value to set file manager results per page #3564"

I think you can use this tutorial on how to achieve this in 5.7:

concrete5 version 8 should have folders to make it even easier.

I have had clients request folders in the file manager so this is good to hear. When is version 8 being released?

"Soon" is the official word. Other than that we don't know.

Well atleast we know its going to be backwards compatible unlike with the 5.6 to 5.7 leap. So 5.8 will support 5.7.

Hello,

It is not quite what you want, but if you put this in your concrete.php config:

'file_manager'        => array(
        'results' => 500
    )


then the dropdown box takes 500 as default. But still, if you click on the filemanager it will only show 10 items first. You always have to search again. You only save one click on the dropdown... :-(

Cheers
