Profile Collection display management

I already saw someone post about this, but it has unfortunatly been archived.

When displaying a collection on a profile, either with the list or grid layout, the number of projects displayed is always limited to 21.

Limiting the number of projects displayed may be understandable, but the actual number for this limit and the absence of feedback about the fact that there are more projects to see in the collection isn't.

First of all, having 21 games shown with the grid display doesn't really make sense, as each line will display 4 projects, except the last one that will show just one project.
And next, if a user navigates through a profile displaying a collection with more than 21 projects, they will only see the first ones and, unless they know about this limit, won't ever know that there may be other projects in the collection.

So, in order to fix those two issues, there are multiple solutions, which may be combined :

  • Fix the number of projects shown to a multiple of 4
  • Offer the possibility to set a higher (or lower) number of projects displayed in the theme editor
  • If there are more projects in the collection that what can be shown, add a "see more" option, visible only if the number of projects is higher than the limit, which could :
    • Show more projects directly on the profile page
    • Redirect to the collection page


Thank you very much for reading !
