    Default Max rows per page with categories

    Is there a way to set the max rows per page or max categories per page?

    I have 55 categories on a page, lined up in 3 columns (using column layout grid add-on). I'd like to display the page about 10 rows at a time.

    The setting for max products per page seems to work on my page that displays products, but not the one that is displaying categories.

    Am I missing something?

    Far as I know, there's no way to paginate the categories listings in the center column in admin, nor is there a mod to do that.

    Thank you very much for the reply.

    If you are correct, and nothing I have found so far contradicts your answer, I guess the solution is to break up the categories across several pages and/or sub-categorize them further, until there are fewer per page.

    Our dilemma is that nearly all of our products are categories, because we are using sub-categories to display products with dependent attributes. A typical product comes in 2 sizes, and each size has 3 different flavor options, and each flavor option has different pricing.

    That's the only way I can see to do it. You didn't say what you're selling or if all products have the same sizes and flavors, but:

    Large Ones
    - Product
    - Flavor (1.00)
    - Flavor (1.20) -- Attributes
    - Flavor (1.40)

    Small Ones

    etc.

    That is my conclusion also. It is more like this:

    MainCategory
    --Item1
    ----Size1
    ------OneFlavor
    --------oneflavorprices (attributes)
    ------TwoFlavors
    --------twoflavorprices
    --------twoflavorprices
    ------ThreeFlavors
    --------threeflavorprices
    --------threeflavorprices
    --------threeflavorprices
    ----Size2
    ------OneFlavor
    --------oneflavorprices (attributes)
    ------TwoFlavors
    --------twoflavorprices
    --------twoflavorprices
    ------ThreeFlavors
    --------threeflavorprices
    --------threeflavorprices
    --------threeflavorprices

    I'd have to see the site, but my way seems a lot more elegant and easier for the customer to understand. When you're up and running, post a link to the site.
