max row count for one list view (Knowledge Base)

[traviswarren]

I wanted to know if you can set the max row count for a Knowledge Base list to 100?   I know you can set it as a personalize per person but that makes all the list to max 100.

Thanks

How would I change the rowcount within the UI page?   I will evaluate the risk.

Thanks

This is the line in kb_list UI Page where the rowcount preference of the current user is retrieved:

<j2:set var="sys_nav_count" value="$[gs.getUser().getPreference('rowcount')]" />

Create a new global user preference (System = true and User = <empty>) and substitute it into that line like this:

<j2:set var="sys_nav_count" value="$[gs.getUser().getPreference('my_custom_kb_rowcount')]" />

Now the system will use the value you specified in your custom global preference for all users.

You will also need to remove navigation elements that users normally use to change their rowcount preference because they will no longer work in your case and will only confuse people.

Comment out the following line of code to remove the Show context menu:

gcm.addMenu("${gs.getMessage('Show')}", mRowsPerPage);

Comment out this <select> block completely inorder to get rid of the "rows per page" dropdown list in the upper-right corner:

<select class="listbar_select" name='perrows' onchange="changeRowCount(this);" id='perrows'>

...

</select>

And that should be it.

Your example of how to subsitutue it in the line in the second set of code is the same as the first line.   Which is the original line in the UI page.   Please provide an example of how to replace the System user and set the row count.

Thank you

Thanks for pointing this out, Travis. I have now changed the name of the user preference in the second line.

Can we also restrict the number of records being pulled? For example - no more than a total of 100 records and 20 records per page?
