CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Before I can comfortably say that civi "meets my needs," I have to find a way to reduce some of the artificial restrictions which are placed on searching and editing via profiles.  Can someone report how I might accomplish the following:

1. Set a given profile as the default advanced search view, being that I have no use for the real default view.
2. Increase the number of results that display in a search (stuck at 50 right now)
3. Increase the number of records which can be simultaneously batch updated.
4. Increase the number of columns which can simultaneously be batch updated--right now Civi allows 9 columns to be updated at once, arbitrarily truncating every column after the ninth column.  For the type of data we're storing, this is an enormous limitation.

Thanks in advance,
Matt

IRC doesn't seem to be functioning for me--kicks me without explanation 1 to 2 seconds after connection .

Item 4 on that list (increasing the number of columns which can simultaneously be batch updated) is a rather immediate need, and I fear I wont be able to learn enough to address it in a timely manner.  Can you give me a little bit more specific direction as to what bit of code needs changing?

[19:39] <MKorostoff> Hello all, I'm trying to reconfigure the view in "batch update by profile"
[19:39] <MKorostoff> Right now the batch update screen displays a maximum of 9 editable columns
[19:39] <MKorostoff> I need to increase that amount
[19:40] <MKorostoff> There does not appear to be a content-managed way to do it.  Can someone point me to the snippet of code to look for?

[20:02] <dgg_> protected $_maxFields = 9;
[20:02] <dgg_> not sure what other implications there might be of changing that tho ??
