Configure the CMS Folder Listing Page Size

Overview

This page explains how to configure the number of items displayed per page in the folder listing of the Bloomreach Content application.

When to Use

Adjust the folder listing page size to optimize UI performance and improve usability, especially when folders contain a large number of items.

Background

The Content application in Bloomreach Content displays folder contents as a paged list.

Folder listing pagination controls showing pages 1 to 3

For best performance, do not store more than 100 items (documents or folders) in a single folder. Use a folder hierarchy to keep the number of items per folder manageable. For guidance, see How to structure your content.

Configuration

Two properties control the behavior of folder listing pagination:

PropertyDescriptionDefault Value
list.page.sizeSets the number of items displayed per page.50
list.view.sizeSets the number of page links shown in the navigation (excluding "first", "previous", "next", and "last" links).

You can configure these properties using the Console on the following nodes, each representing a folder type:

  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-folder-views/hippostd:folder
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-folder-views/hippostd:directory
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-folder-views/hippogallery:stdImageGallery
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-folder-views/hippogallery:stdAssetGallery
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-folder-views/urlrewriter:ruleset
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-folder-views/hippo:facetsearch
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-folder-views/hipposys:facetsubsearch
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-folder-views/hippo:facetselect

To configure the page size for pickers, set the properties on the following nodes, each representing a picker type:

  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-pickers/assets/navigator/browser.options
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-pickers/documents/navigator/browser.options
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-pickers/documents-folders-only/navigator/browser.options
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-pickers/documents-only/navigator/browser.options
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-pickers/folders/navigator/browser.options
  • /hippo:configuration/hippo:frontend/cms/cms-pickers/images/navigator/browser.options
