Number of Discussions Shown

ekrm

Hello, I searched the forum but could not find it. There are 20 discussions shown in the discussion list. I want to change that. Like 10, how do you do that to affect all tags?
Good work.

ekrm using the PHP extension API, you could modify the default number of results returned by the /api/discussions API endpoint.

I don't think there is any extension already doing it at this point.

If you are trying to build something using Flarum's REST API, you can specify how many results you want in the request using the ?page[limit]= parameter.

clarkwinkelmann Hi, thank you for the answer. Couldn't find what you specified. 20 The discussion seemed like a lot. This is why I want to lower it frankly.

/vendor/flarum/core/src/Discussion

I could not find the number 20 in this file. Can you help me?

ekrm the limit is defined by the ListDiscussionsController which itself inherits the default value from AbstractSerializeController

You can modify it using the ApiController::setLimit() extender https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/v0.1.0-beta.15/src/Extend/ApiController.php#L156

It will look something like this:

<?php

use Flarum\Extend;

return [
    (new Extend\ApiController(\Flarum\Api\Controller\ListDiscussionsController::class))
        ->setLimit(5),
];

Unfortunately it seems that the data preloading has a hard-coded value here https://github.com/flarum/core/blob/v0.1.0-beta.15/src/Forum/Content/Index.php#L79 so the code above would only apply to loading the homepage from another page, but not as the first page.

I'm not sure if there's a way to work around this. We should probably fix this in Flarum, because it creates inconsistent results. I'm not sure why we even specify a limit in Content\Index when the frontend itself doesn't specify a limit in its API requests.
