Can I display All products? 

I am using V2 of the AliCommerce cart with DNN V8.4.2

Normally I display about 10 or 20 products per page using the "Simple List" category template.  If I have too many items, I see the paging controls. My question is if there is a way to override the paging and say "Show All"....even if the list is really long etc?

Thanks in advance

The way I do this is to go into the Store Admin - Templates - Category, then click Edit against the Simple List and change the Page Size value to a very large number.  As long as the number is greater than your product count, it should show all products on 1 page.

AndyC,

Thanks for the reply, that would work in some situations.....but I want to allow a customer to do so, w/o access to the admin side. In fact, if I have a grid view for a category it would be nice to have the "Show All" override the Category Template with Simple List and show all the records.

At any rate, it isn't a show stopper by any means but just a thought.

Paul

Oh definitely don't allow your customers access to the store admin module. :)

I tend to avoid paging altogether so I've opted to use the above solution as the default on my site.  Seems to do the trick, but I understand that you want paging and a customer button to view all.  I'm pretty sure that isn't coded in just yet.

Re: Can I display All products? 

What can I do to show all the products, or at least more of them, in the Store Admin. It defaults to 10 and I am doing a lot of cloning and it is easier if I can see more of my products at once.

I thought there might be a setting for this but could not find it.

Thanks for any ideas on this.

What about changing the value of PageSize property from 10 to a large value for the following 2 controls:

pagerTop

gridProductList

Frank, thanks for the quick reply.

But I have to say that you tend to make brief replies based on the assumption that I already know pretty much everything about AliCommerce.

So when you say controls are you meaning that I need to go edit some ascx files on the server in the DesktopModules folder? I looked in the store admin, which is where a setting like this should be found, but I don't see anything like what you referenced.

So if I do have to edit files on the server that is OK, I just need a little more clarification. Also, maybe you could put a few items like this on your to-do list so that the product development can be as smooth as possible.

Don't get me wrong, I am making a lot more progress now and feeling better about this cart and intend to use it for other gigs in the future, but I will throw out some ideas along the way if I think they might make the cart even better.

Have a great weekend!

Cliff

Re: Can I display All products? 

Sorry, the control I was referring to is \DesktopModules\AliCommerce\StoreAdmin\Catalog\ProductList.ascx

We're considering making this a setting in the future.
