As i can see already there's a drop-down to choose number of items should be displayed per page.Minimum is 5.Isn't it?

Moving to Information Required until @Bugsbane had time to look into it

@BuddhiEash - Where? I see an option titled "Show number of items", but the dropdown only shows "Show / Hide / Global" and the description of it sounds more like it's supposed to show how many items have this tag. Changing it to "Show" doesn't make any visible difference I can see.

I don't see any option to choose the number of items displayed. If you do let me know and I'l check.

PS. I'd really appreciate it, if anyone reading this could take just 20 seconds to reproduce #6970 and say so at http://issues.joomla.org/tracker/joomla-cms/6970 . I consider that issue much more important, reproducible, likely an easy fix, yet no one seems to be looking at it.

@Bugsbane - I have attached a screenshot here.Please check and let me know you are talking about this option ?

@BuddhiEash - Ok, I can see where the confusion is now. No, I am not talking about that dropdown. That dropdown lets the user decide how many items will be shown, and even then, only changes from the default if the user knows how to change it and bothers to do so.

What I am talking about, is an option like what is in the category blog menu type, that allows the administrator to set how many items the user will see. For example, in the Category Blog type, the administrator (not the user) chooses how many items to display as leading, how many in columns and how many articles in links.

I'm not requesting all of the different layout options that are in category blogs, just the same ability for the administrator to choose the number of items displayed to the user.

I am also missing this feature. By default it shows the number which is saved in the joomla configuration (> Site > field "list length" or something similar - this is the German translation).

@Bugsbane - Ok.Now i got clarified what's you are talking about.So simply you are asking for a pagination?

• for me, it would be sufficient to determine the number of items to display when a user opens the menu item THE FIRST TIME. In your screenshot for example, it's "20" in the dropdown. This is by default the number of the joomla configuration and we don't have the option to alter this separately for com_tag menu items.

I'd say that there is more than one acceptable solution to this. I only care about limiting how many items show when a user clicks the menu item. This could be by pagination (showing X items per page), or it could be, as @pixelhexe says, a way to change the default in the currnt frontend drop down.

I just want to avoid every user who clicks on my blog link, having to load a page that shows 20 separate posts on a single page (5 would be my ideal).

Pagination, with a way to set the number of items per page, probably would be the ideal though.

Menu item type Compact list of tagged items.

Settings are a bit confusing. At the moment you can limit the number of displayed items by setting:

• List Layouts > Display Select > Hide
• List Layouts > Pagination > Show
• Item Selection Options > Maximum Items: e.g. 2
• Most important: Don't ask me why ;-)

Please see and test PR #7031

Closing as we have a PR by @bertmert #7031

Thanks! I'll test when I have some spare time. Does this work with list by tag menu type rather than compact list? I'm not actually using the compact list type.

Test first provided PR! Let's see if it works and will get a RTC label. Afterwards next PR. Solution seems to be similiar.

I had a 50:50 chance to select desired menu item for this first PR because of insufficient informations ;-)
