[CMS] How to increase the amount of article comments

[Bram]

I was told that the default 20 article comments per page would have been adjustable in the 4.1 series.

Been through all the vb options but nowhere can I find how to increase the article comments to a higher number (default = 20) so that pagination does not happen on the comments.

Any leads how to fix this?

It's not been fixed as yet. You will need to edit the packages/vbcms/comments.php file to change this. Find (approximately line 104):

$pageno = vB::$vbulletin->GPC_exists['page'] ?
			vB::$vbulletin->GPC['page'] : 1;
		$view->pageno = $pageno;
		$view->node_comments = self::showComments($view->nodeid,
			$this_user, $pageno, 20, $target_url, $associatedthreadid);

And change the value there. The Improvement Request for this is here:

Thanks,

Voted there a million years ago already. Imo this is just a bug not an improvement. No clue why this takes so long to fix.

Manually changed the file you pointed me too and it works now. Hopefully more people will start increasing the amounts so the CMS becomes readable.

Thanks for the help.

After the newest update to 4.1.4 the file was overwritten. Changed it again and now CMS comments are totally messed up

Why does this take so long to get fixed guys. Its a cms! Its the first thing visitors see on your site.

Anybody knows how to increase the amount of article comments without pagination in 4.1.4?

[Bram]

Little bump, can this issue really not be fixed?

[Bram]

Upgraded to 4.1.5 and its still limited to 20 comments per article. WHen will this finally be fixed?

Bumping this thread really isn't going to make it happen any faster...

[Bram]

Then what does help? How hard can it be to put this option in the admincp so you can actually increase the amount of comments.

The workaround posted gives strange errors in Firefox. And I am sure that all site owners with a lively frontpage see their discussions being killed after 20 comments

Worked in 4.1.5

Borked in 4.1.7 again! This is how it looks when you change "20" into "100". The entire page is messed up: https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...05#post2229205
