I've searched for a few minutes and can't find anything previous on this. It would be awesome if the "items per page" value wasn't global. I would love to be able to separate values for topics per page (forum.asp) and replies per page (topic.asp).
Why you ask? OK I'll tell you. I've done some pretty extensive research on my users habits. Topics that go to page 2 on forum.asp have essentially met the kiss of death. 99.9% of the time they are never revisited. As we get busier, we have quite a few really good topics die this way and it kills me.
So, I set the items per page to 30. Topics last a whole lot longer and most run their course the way they should. But now, I have 30 replies per page. A lot more scrolling. A lot heavier pages. A lot more bandwidth, especially since we have a ton of pictures on our forum. Most users just go to the last page of threads they're following so shorter pages would be awesome.
I would absolutely love to be able to set topics per page to 40, and replies per page to 15. (Insert happy dance here)
Has anyone done this, seen a mod, or even thought about it? Thoughts?

copy and save this as dbs_splitpagesize.asp

Code:


Split Page Size Mod
[INSERT]
CONFIG_NEW
(C_VARIABLE,C_VALUE)#('STRFORUMPAGESIZE','40')
[END]

update your db in admin options

in config.asp find

Code:


Dim SubCount, MySubCount

after that add

Code:


Dim strForumPageSize

in config.asp find

Code:


strShowQuickReply = Application(strCookieURL & "STRSHOWQUICKREPLY")

after that add

Code:


strForumPageSize = Application(strCookieURL & "STRFORUMPAGESIZE")

in admin_config_features.asp find

Code:


			"              <tr valign=""middle"">" & vbNewLine & _
			"                <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """ align=""right""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><b>Pagenumbers per row:</b> </font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
			"                <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & vbNewLine & _
			"                <input type=""text"" name=""strPageNumberSize"" size=""5"" maxLength=""3"" value=""" & chkExistElse(strPageNumbersize,10) & """>" & vbNewLine & _
			"                <a href=""JavaScript:openWindow3('pop_config_help.asp?mode=features#pagenumbersize')"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileQuestion,"","") & "</a></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
			"              </tr>" & vbNewLine & _

after that add

Code:


			"              <tr valign=""middle"">" & vbNewLine & _
			"                <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """ align=""right""><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """><b>Topics per page:</b> </font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
			"                <td bgColor=""" & strPopUpTableColor & """><font face=""" & strDefaultFontFace & """ size=""" & strDefaultFontSize & """>" & vbNewLine & _
			"                <input type=""text"" name=""strForumPageSize"" size=""5"" maxLength=""3"" value=""" & chkExistElse(strForumPageSize,20) & """>" & vbNewLine & _
			"                <a href=""JavaScript:openWindow3('pop_config_help.asp?mode=features#pagenumbersize')"">" & getCurrentIcon(strIconSmileQuestion,"","") & "</a></font></td>" & vbNewLine & _
			"              </tr>" & vbNewLine & _

in forum.asp replace all instances of strPageSize (except the one in the sub TopicPaging()) with strForumPageSize

that should do it
