How to set up number of records to be displayed in ListView ?

[dekleinemedia]

Hi,

You can set number of records displayed in ALL ListViews in User Interface. But what if you want some modules to show a max. of 5 records to be displayed, and an other module a max. of 10 to be displayed in ListView (for example).

Is it possible to modify this in the code of the particulary module? If so, how to do this?

Thanks in advance

In a way, yes. But it is not upgrade safe.

In config_override.php, a script can be created that sets the max listview items variable according to the current module. Remember that whenever config_override.php is overwritten (by editing system settings or upgrading), your modifications will be overwritten. Perhaps it is better to create a config_listviewitems.php and refer to that in config_override.php, so only 1 line needs to be reimplemented.

I believe there is an upgrade safe way to accomplish that approach:

1. Create the folders and file custom/include/ListView/listview.config.php containing something like that:

 <?PHP
$list_max_entries_per_page = array(
    'Accounts' => 15,
    'Contacts' => 20,
    'Leads' => 25,
    'Opportunities' => 30,
);
?>  

2. Create a custom view.list.php for each module you want to customize the number of records per page:
custom/modules/<ModuleName>/views/view.list.php

 <?php
if(!defined('sugarEntry') || !sugarEntry) die('Not A Valid Entry Point');
 
require_once('include/MVC/View/views/view.list.php');
 
class <ModuleName>ViewList extends ViewList {
    function preDisplay() {
        require_once('custom/include/ListView/listview.config.php');
 
        global $sugar_config;
 
        $sugar_config['list_max_entries_per_page'] = $list_max_entries_per_page[$this->bean->module_dir];
        parent::preDisplay();
    }
}
?>
