filemanager files per page

[tsiou]

Maybe a variable in DA conf file , or in skins, so a user (or at least admin) can set how many records per page should be visible in filemanager...

Hello,

If you want to change the default to say 5 items per page, then just add this to the end of any links directing to the filemanager

?ipp=5

eg: if you see this in a url:

:2222/CMD_FILE_MANAGER

change it to be

:2222/CMD_FILE_MANAGER?ipp=5

although, it would be lost when you click another file.. with enough demand I could make the default in the directadmin.conf file.

It would be great to have an option to the conf file (or better at the clients filemanager page so they can choose each time by their needs)...
I can use the ipp by hand only for my self...
The real problem is that my clients can't accept this solution.
I can edit temporary my templates and set a custom ipp but i think that the changes would be overwritten at the next DA update.

I know that DA's staff has many things to do.
For example as i 'm a freebsd user, i'm waiting for DA 64bit support etc, as described in many threads.

My opinion though is that DA's priority should be at the end user point. I prefer to have my customers happy with many features (that other hosting software already have, or don't yet) than to have support for 64bit for my server (i'm doing ok even without 100% of my system's capabilities).
I prefer to have 10 more of the new options as asked into this forum.....

But that's my opinion only..

Not if you copy the skin to your own custom skin. DA will not touch your skins. Then when updates come out you can check for changes in the skins.

I know, but i don't believe that worth's the time to check some tpl's in every update, when integrating this (even when users individually set their own result's per page, with lets say a drop down menu that says files per page in the file manager) isn't so much of work, comparing to the easy of use that it will provide to users and resellers...

I believe it's something that should have been supported from the beginning.

I am commenting on what you said about the skins not how many records per page should be visible in filemanager. I don't want other people to be confused about what you said about the skins.

Its a side point not the main point.

You are right, didn't understand your point...
