How to change the number per page in search?

Any idea how to change the number per page in people search (search.php)? Now the default is 10 (5, 10, 15, 25, etc)

I would like to change the default setting to 24 (8,16,24, 32, etc)  Is this possible?  I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Hi Patrick,

Try changing defaults in:

 inc/classes/BxDolSearch.php

Dave...

Hey thanks for pointing me to that file!  I did look inside and found this

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

function setPaginate () {

$this->aCurrent['paginate']['perPage'] = (int)$_GET['per_page'] != 0 ? (int)$_GET['per_page'] : $this->aCurrent['paginate']['perPage'];

if (!$this->aCurrent['paginate']['perPage'])

----> $this->aCurrent['paginate']['perPage'] = 10;

$this->aCurrent['paginate']['page'] = isset($this->aCurrent['paginate']['forcePage']) ? (int)$this->aCurrent['paginate']['forcePage'] : (int)$_GET['page'];

if ($this->aCurrent['paginate']['page'] < 1)

$this->aCurrent['paginate']['page'] = 1;

}

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I changed that red line to this

$this->aCurrent['paginate']['perPage'] = 16;

I don't see a change yet. :/ Is there something else I need to do? I'm not sure what i'm doing.

Try clearing you cache manually (/cache and /public_cache) now that you changed/edit the file (except for the .htaccess file.)

I haven't tried it myself it was just a suggestion, I thought you might change near the top:

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_PER_PAGE_STEP', 10);

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_PER_PAGE_INTERVAL', 3);

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_PER_PAGE_INTERVAL_MIN', 3);

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_PER_PAGE_DEFAULT', 10);

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_RANGE', 3);

To:

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_PER_PAGE_STEP', 8);

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_PER_PAGE_INTERVAL', 3);

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_PER_PAGE_INTERVAL_MIN', 3);

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_PER_PAGE_DEFAULT', 16);

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_RANGE', 3);

You might also need to make some edits on

Templates/base/scripts/BxBaseSearchResult.php

Then you might also need to reset your template cache.

All untested but let me know how you get on.

Dave...

hey Zarcon! I just did that.  No luck.  :/  hmm

Where is that exactly?  I can't find it in inc/classes/BxDolSearch.php.

Sorry

inc/classes/BxDolPaginate.php

is probably what I meant.

:)

Dave..

I still haven't solved this yet. :-/  I still need help with this.  :(

I'm looking for this exact same thing, and was just going to post when I saw this.   Great minds think alike, eh Patrick?  Has anyone else tried it yet?    I'll poke around also, but if anyone comes up with a solution please post.

haha yeah caltrade, i know.... i can't stand this anymore... i want to show 2 or 3 full rows.

I know - 10 is way too few.  I don't think people doing a search really even see that next page arrow.  The change that lancanshire recommended didn't work?

I've always wondered why the default was 10, and not 8 or 16.  You may as well fill up all that blank space.  Wouldn't it be nice to have a real admin section where you could change stuff like this?

I tried lancashiredates's suggestion.. no luck.  :-/

Let's see if we can get Boonex / Alex to respond on this.   I have a feeling this is just a simple tweek somewhere.   HL is right - this should be a setting in admin.  Is there a trac for that?

Well since you've spent so much time on your site and given so much I'm sure they will jump right on this for you. 

 Maybe someone would give a thought to looking in the inc/js/browse_member.js file.  Nah... It would never reference anything at all to do with browsing members and such.

You are not just mocking me now Mydatery, you are also mocking the others who are looking for a solution on this.

Actually, seems as though the function that controls this, is in templates/base/scripts/BxBaseProfileView.php


$iCountProfiles = (int)(db_value($sQueryCnt));

$sResults = $sTopFilter = '';
if ($iCountProfiles) {
//collect pagination
$iCurrentPage    = isset( $_GET['page']         ) ? (int)$_GET['page']         : 1;
$iResultsPerPage = isset( $_GET['res_per_page'] ) ? (int)$_GET['res_per_page'] : 10;

if( $iCurrentPage < 1 )
$iCurrentPage = 1;
if( $iResultsPerPage < 1 )
$iResultsPerPage = 10;

$iTotalPages = ceil( $iCountProfiles / $iResultsPerPage );

if( $iTotalPages > 1 ) {
if( $iCurrentPage > $iTotalPages )
$iCurrentPage = $iTotalPages;

$sLimitFrom = ( $iCurrentPage - 1 ) * $iResultsPerPage;
$sQuery .= " LIMIT {$sLimitFrom}, {$iResultsPerPage}";

list($sPagination, $sTopFilter) = $this->genSearchPagination($iCountProfiles, $iCurrentPage, $iResultsPerPage, $aFilterSortSettings);
} else {
$sPagination = '';
}


There is more to it somewhere though.  I haven't found where that list gets incremented by 5.

 Check this:      /templates/base/scripts/BxBaseProfileView.php

$iResultsPerPage = isset( $_GET['res_per_page'] ) ? (int)$_GET['res_per_page'] : 10;

   if( $iCurrentPage < 1 )
    $iCurrentPage = 1;
   if( $iResultsPerPage < 1 )
    $iResultsPerPage = 10;

Editing the /templates/base/scripts/BxBaseProfileView.php worked! Thanks :)

wow simple solution.  jeez thanks man

So now the search part is finally fixed but what about My Friends block in My Account page.  It still shows 10 friends... is there a different file to fix that?

Easy fix, improved my site quite a bit.  Thank you HL and rhimpr for tracking this down, and Patrick for broaching the issue.

member.php
function getBlockCode_Friends() {
$iLimit = 10;

$sAllFriends    = 'viewFriends.php?iUser=' . $this->iMember;
$sOutputHtml    = null;

Awesome!  Thanks for that!

DEANO! WE NEED A TOOLS UPDATE HERE! All of these should be adjustable by the admin

I had a similar problem in Dol7, but I had problems finding the answer and this topic was very close to what I needed. In Dol7 the pages were incrementing by 5 which did not make sense to me because the default on the page was 8, then to increase the number per page it was 2, 7, 12, 17, 22, 27. If you change the lines in  /inc/classes/BxDolPaginate.php from

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_PER_PAGE_STEP', 5);

to

define('BX_DOL_PAGINATE_PER_PAGE_STEP', 4);

You will get 4, 8, 12, 17, 22, 27. I hope this helps!
