Can I change the default # per page to 200 instead of 50 per page in product lists?

Bryn Coan

Every time I go to a different brand, it changes back to 50.

Is there a way to change the default?

Yep you sure can! Go to All settings & Tools > Advanced Configuration

Search for a name of CPANEL_DEFAULT_ITEMS_PER_PAGE and set it to what you want. This will apply to all sections of the control panel.

The maximum number per page can also be overridden here with CPANEL_MAX_ITEMS_PER_PAGE

Just be aware that showing more items will slow down the control panel page loads.

Hi That sounds like what I need. I adjusted the default number to 200 and saved but it remains at 50. Does it take a while to take effect? Can you tell me how to override the default page with the Max page? Can?t work that out. Regards Bryn

Weird, it works for me. I set CPANEL_DEFAULT_ITEMS_PER_PAGE to 200, then went to Products > View products and by default it's showing 200 per page.

CPANEL_MAX_ITEMS_PER_PAGE just configures the maximum you can set "# Per Page" to. By default this is 250, so if you try and set "# Per Page" higher than that in the control panel it just forces it back to 250. I'd be careful messing with this, you could make the control panel very slow and cause timeouts.

250 is heaps. Maybe the change to the default will happen later. Some sort of caching issue maybe?

Hm I don't think so, it was instant for me both times I tried. The control panel shouldn't be cached. Double check that CPANEL_DEFAULT_ITEMS_PER_PAGE has changed.

Bryn Coan

Yes, if I go back to it, it now says 200. But # per page are still 50 in lists

Hmmm I just tried changing ORDER_LIST_DEFAULT_ITEMS_PER_PAGE from 25 to 50 and that changed straight away. For some reason it wont change CPANEL_DEFAULT_ITEMS_PER_PAGE from 50 to 200 Regards Bryn www.herogear.com.au
