Duane,

Hmmm, nothing here after a full 5 minutes.? Using /search?p=SubsCount,,,20,2,10000,0? Anything that keeps it from going over 10k works fine.? Not that I'll probably ever use it.

You have the wrong parameter set to 10000; it should read SubsCount,,,10000,2,0,0? (instead of modifying parameter 4, "How many rows to display per page.", you modified parameter 6 "Where to start displaying from within the list.")?

Just tried the above and it works, eventually.? But what doesn't work is going to the next page in that URL configuration, or, like in your case, telling it to start directly at a high number; something is not working right when the number gets that large, but you're right, I wouldn't have a need either for this hack in the group search area, but in the member admin area it works great. Using a reasonable value in relation to the group size that returns 2 maybe 3 result pages makes certain member admin tasks a lot faster and easier; I use the full value only when I have to display the full member list at once, which is not often really.

Interesting BTW, almost 32K groups on GIO, but only 2-3K of them are over 1K members.

Cheers,
Christos

In theory, either should work.? The way I did it shows 20 per page, but starts at 10000.? Your way shows 10000 per page, starting at 0.

That's not a true count of the number of groups since it's only those made visible in the directory.? From a little sleuthing, I know there were over 77k groups as of September 15.

I must only subscribe to the busy groups.? I'm a member of 6 with over 1k members, of which half are over 2k.? That still leaves the 12 with far fewer though. ;>)

Duane,


Using /search?p=SubsCount,,,20,2,10000,0? Anything that keeps it from going over 10k works fine.

Thinking more about this and just realized it, by using the value in that wrong place (specifically) you inadvertently found a bug; the "display" code uses the absolute total number of groups (~32K) as the value for calculating how many result pages with link info to display, but the "fetch data" code returns less because it checks for group visibility; there are 9980 visible groups, the rest are not visible, hence when attempting to go past that number, you'll get no results, regardless of how many rows per page one might select.? That's why when I tried to go to page two after the first 10K displayed didn't work and also returned nothing.

This works:
/search?p=ThreadsCount,,,20,2,9980,0

This doesn't:
/search?p=ThreadsCount,,,20,2,9981,0
(or at least it didn't at the time I wrote this, the 9980 visible group total may increment a few by the time this posts, or later, so it may now work, but increasing it by some amount will cause it again)

So technically, just by using the default 20 rows per page, one will reach the time when no results are presented anymore even if the pagination shows a ton of pages to go.? If the "display" code switches to using the visible groups total for pagination calculation it would fix this.

Cheers,
Christos

Based on some tests I just did, that's incorrect.? There were 81,592 groups as of this morning (here), with 31,987 of them visible.? It is a bug, but has to do with the number of results going into 5 digits (over 9999).? I thought I had reported this #bug on beta, but can't find it now.
