Collections can have hundreds of items. If you view them as a collection, they are multipage, I believe the limit is something like 30 per page.
How would you expect a collection of 139 items to display on your profile page? ;-)
Hmm. But they could be displayed like in the library view, where you have a horizontal scrollbar. Wonder what is the difference. And coincidentally, the display in library horizontal view only loads 20 items. If you scroll to the right is loads the next items.
I get what you are saying, it would be a bit crazy to display 139 items on my page. However I currently don't have a collection that large and would like to display it past the current max (seems to be 20 not 30). Maybe an option change this limit or click an "expand" button to display the remainder of the collection would be worth doing?
Maybe I'm having a scrollbar issue with my custom CSS, let me look into this further. Thanks for the feedback.
Edit: no scrollbar issue, just displaying grid not providing such an option as you would expect.
does the grid display the click for full list or did you do that? do you get the horizontal scroll bar if you do not use grid?
the limit seems to be 20 for grid and preload of horizontal list. for page view of collection it should be 30, maybe it is displayed differently with infinity scroll.
edit. why would you expect such an option of grid view? it would be an infinity scroll inside a scrollable page. with list at least you have infinity scroll sideways while the page itself has normal scroll.
edit2. you are of course aware, if you want to display it on your page with that mechanism, you can just use two different collections in grid view. I am actually not sure, how creators of many things do this. usually I see creators with a handfull of things and they do not seem to display collections of their own stuff on their creatos page, but on the right side there is a column of their projects.
I always thought that is how collections are supposed to work. you link stuff you like, and not collections of you own stuff there.
Not sure if collections had any intended use than to put a collection of things together. The grid view does not display click for full list, I included that to comp for some of the issues I am facing with how I want to use them.
I don't see what you mean by infinity scroll. I am simply stating the creators could design to the style of page they want better. The only reason an infinity scroll would happen is with a stupid large collection, at the point one might consider doing the displaying another way, or making a finer tuned collection.
I am aware of using two different collections with grid view, this however provides other problems. As things work now my page might be as good as I am going to get it with my vision of things. We will see how that changes going forward.
Anyhow, thanks again.
There is a setting for infinity scroll, it is called , Disable auto-loading next page when browsing
I did not test wich sections this is used on, but infinity scroll ist just loading new stuff by scrolling instead of displaying a next page button.
If you have a grid of unknown many items and embed this in a page, you have limited options how to do this. Displaying all at once is just not done for collections. If they are embeded they limit it to 20 and if the actual page is the collection, then 30. I presume this is to just not load all of it. But I wonder why they do not just make a scroll bar inside the embedded collection like in library view.
