Hi,

We are having trouble with taxonomies.

We upgraded to version 8.0 (from 7.53) about a month ago.

When we try to reorder items in a taxonomy that has a huge amount of items in it, we only see the first fifty items in the reorder box.The remaining items don't show up in that box at all.

So if my taxonomy has 58 items in it, I can only reorder the first 50 items. The remaining 8 items don't show up in the reorder box. Even when I can see them in the taxonomy itself.

Any help?

Thanks,

Vikram.

This will require you to modify the workarea code as the default pagesize is 50. (* anything changed in Workarea will need to be redo after upgrade)

The file is \Workarea\controls\taxonomy\edittaxonomy.ascx.vb

Locate this

                Else
                    AllLangForm.Visible = False     ' the all languages checkbox is only valid for categories
                    taxonomy_request.IncludeItems = True
                    taxonomy_data = m_refContent.ReadTaxonomy(taxonomy_request)
                    tr_ordering.Visible = True 'Not showing for items
                    If (taxonomy_data.TaxonomyItems IsNot Nothing) Then
                        TotalItems = taxonomy_data.TaxonomyItems.Length
                        If (TotalItems > 1) Then
                            td_msg.Text = m_refMsg.GetMessage("generic first msg")
                            OrderList.DataSource = taxonomy_data.TaxonomyItems
                            OrderList.DataTextField = "TaxonomyItemTitle"
                            OrderList.DataValueField = "TaxonomyItemId"
                            OrderList.DataBind()
                            OrderList.SelectionMode = ListSelectionMode.Multiple
                            OrderList.CssClass = "width: 100%; border-style: none; border-color: White; font-family: Verdana;font-size: x-small;"
                            If (TotalItems > 20) Then
                                OrderList.Rows = 20
                            Else

Add a pageize to it, also, change the OrderList.Rows to a larger number to see everything.

                Else
                    AllLangForm.Visible = False     ' the all languages checkbox is only valid for categories
                    taxonomy_request.IncludeItems = True
                    taxonomy_request.PageSize = 100
                    taxonomy_data = m_refContent.ReadTaxonomy(taxonomy_request)
                    tr_ordering.Visible = True 'Not showing for items
                    If (taxonomy_data.TaxonomyItems IsNot Nothing) Then
                        TotalItems = taxonomy_data.TaxonomyItems.Length
                        If (TotalItems > 1) Then
                            td_msg.Text = m_refMsg.GetMessage("generic first msg")
                            OrderList.DataSource = taxonomy_data.TaxonomyItems
                            OrderList.DataTextField = "TaxonomyItemTitle"
                            OrderList.DataValueField = "TaxonomyItemId"
                            OrderList.DataBind()
                            OrderList.SelectionMode = ListSelectionMode.Multiple
                            OrderList.CssClass = "width: 100%; border-style: none; border-color: White; font-family: Verdana;font-size: x-small;"
                            If (TotalItems > 20) Then
                                OrderList.Rows = 100
                            Else

Good catch KI 

but that will be a global change, if he doesn't mind.

Thanks for the response guys. That partially fixed our problem.

Killer_instinct: While your suggestion did increase the number of items seen in the taxonomy, it doesn't make any difference when you try to reorder it. We still saw only 50 items in the list when we tried to reorder the taxonomy.

However, Rui's trick did the work. We are now able to reorder more that 50 items. 

None the less, we wanted both, so thanks to  both of you

Now, the remainder of the problem is, although we can now reorder all the items in the taxonomy, we can only see the first 50 of them on our actual webpage.

This page has a list of links in the middle. This list has about 72 items in it, but we see only the first 50 from the taxonomy. This was never a problem with 7.53.

Thanks,

Vikram.

Hey Vikram,

What are you using to display the items on the page? Directory control? Taxonomy API?

Either way, there should be a PageSize parameter or something similar.

Here's a 'workaround'.

I increased the MaxResults of the directory control to 75 and now I'm able to see ALL items on the page.

However, as I understand, if I assign "0" as the value for MaxResults, I should see all anyways.

Hey Vikram,

I've found instances where I thought 0 would work (i.e., CacheInterval on the FlexMenu) but it didn't. In that instance, using -1 did the trick.

eGandalf,

Thanks for the tip. But that didn't work for the MaxResults on the directory control

set enablepaging="true" and

maxresults= "100" or any other number than zero
