Longer list of My Views in http://www.mydomain/view/

[Dirk Meyer]

As our users built more views, navigating them can be a challenge. Tagging is great but many users don't use it yet. To help with navigation I made a change. In /view/index.php, on line 41 I modified $limit = param_integer('limit', 5); to $limit = param_integer('limit', 50); This seems to help find views significantly. I am wondering if this could be worked into any future releases? Even 25 would be great.

I realize that there is a complete list of views on the dash board but that one is not alphabetical and I am finding users look for views in 'My Portfolio' first and get frustrated because they 'can't find anything'. Thanks

Hi Dirk,

In Mahara 1.4, that has moved to the views_by_owner() function in lib/view.php

It defaults to 10, but I guess we could increase it to 25 if nobody has a good reason not to.

Cheers,
Francois

I can't think of any reason not to increase it. In 1.4 finding your own views will get a bit easier anyway, because there's a search box at the top of view/index.php.

I suppose the load time might get a little longer but perhaps that's negligible. 50 might be high so 25 would be great. Thanks for considering.
