[EP-tech] Re: "max_items" limit

Hi,

You can also change max_items in your cfg.d/views.pl :

        {
                id => 'year',
                citation => 'view',
                menus => [
                        {
                                fields => [ 'date;res=year' ],
                                reverse_order => 1,
                                allow_null => 1,
                        }
                ],
                hideup => 1,
*max_items => 3000*,
                ...

Regards,
GF

I thought I would share something that we stumbled on recently: there is a max_items limit set somewhere EPrints (I'm not sure where?) that will result in the following error message for browse views that exceed it:

"The number of items (2001) for this view has exceeded system limits (2000). The system administrator either needs to increase "max_items" or apply additional filters to this view."

Google search of this error message reveals that are a few EPrints repositories that stumble on this limit in their browse views.

For us, it was the browse by doctype > theses, as we have more than 2000 theses.  We solved this issue by further sub-dividing by year the browse view that was attempting to display more than max_items:

		id=> "doctype",
		 allow_null => 1,
          		hideempty => 1,
	 	 menus=>[
			{
				fields=>["type"],
				allow_null => 1,
               				  hideempty => 1,
			},
			{
				fields => [ "date;res=year" ],
				reverse_order => 1,
                 			allow_null => 1,
                 			hideempty => 1,
				new_column_at => [10,10],
			}
		],
		order=>"-date"
