Document Attachments Control only displays 10 Attachments Max

Elvis Wohlken asked on October 25, 2014 00:13

I have a regular old page of page-menu-item type(Called 'Exhibits') with child pages of a custom type ('Client' in this case). On the 'Exhibits' page, I have a repeater web part and a Pages Datasource web part whose path is set to select all Client pages that are children of the current page. Then, I apply the custom 'Client.ClientGallery' transformation I created to the repeater, so that I can display each Client pages name, description, and teaser image on the 'Exhibits' Page. Finally, I need to display all of the files attached to each 'Client' subpage within the 'Client.ClientGallery' Transformation. This is where I am running into trouble. I'm using a documentAttachments Control within my 'Client.ClientGallery' Transformation to display the attachments, but for some reason the control only seems to display the top 10 attachments for each of the 'Client' subpages. I need for ALL attachments to be displayed.

Here's the code for my transformation:

<%@ Register Src="~/CMSModules/Content/Controls/Attachments/DocumentAttachments/DocumentAttachments.ascx" TagName="DocumentAttachments" TagPrefix="cms" %>

<div class="client">
  <h6><%# Eval("ClientName") %></h6>
  <p><%# Eval("ClientDescription") %></p>
  <a href="<%# Eval("ClientTeaserImage") %>" rel="<%# Eval("ClientName").ToString().Replace(" ", "_").ToLower() %>_gallery" class="fancybox gallery-link"><img alt="<%# Eval("ClientName") %> Gallery" src="<%# Eval("ClientTeaserImage") %>" /><div class="overlay"><span>Click Here to View Gallery</span></div></a>
  <div class="gallery-images">
    <cms:DocumentAttachments ID="documentAttachments" runat="server" TransformationName="CMS.Root.Attachment" Path='<%# Eval("NodeAliasPath")%>' />
  </div>
</div>

Any help is appreciated, I can't post any links to the current project at the moment but that may change in the future so let me know if more information is necessary and I will do my best to provide it.

I'll bet the paging is set. You could set PageSize="20" and see if it changes at all. If so, then paging is enabled and the pager isn't visible.

Im having the same issue, but the paging is not set. is this an inbuilt limit to the Document Attachments Control?

Hello,

Could you please try switching the control to ~/CMSModules/Content/Controls/Attachments/DocumentAttachments/DocumentAttachmentsList.ascx which displays 25 attachments by default, but you can set the PageSize="all". This control is used to display the list of attachments on the Form tab. Would this work for you?

Best Regards,

Sandro

Hi Andrew,

What happens when you try the control - do you get an error or is it still limited to 10 attachments? Just to make sure, can you confirm the version/hotfix you are using? I will try to reproduce the issue again in your exact version once I have this information. I will also try to find another solution in case this doesn't work for you.

Best Regards,

Sandro

Version im running is 8.1.4.

Im using the below code, so when the user click on a hyperlink a fancybox gallery will pop up and display the ten images. Renders like this currently

...but when i change the control to a DocumentAttachmentsList it renders like this...

...so i dont think its the correct control for the current setup

<%@ Register Src="~/CMSModules/Content/Controls/Attachments/DocumentAttachments/DocumentAttachments.ascx" TagName="DocumentAttachments" TagPrefix="cms" %>

<div class="standard-listing__item fancybox-container">
      <div class="media-element">
          <div class="media-element__image-container">
              <a class="fancybox-alias" href="#">
                  <img class="media-element__image" src="<%# Eval("ListingImage") %>">
              </a>
          </div>
          <div class="media-element__content">
              <h4 class="header-separator"><%# Eval("Title") %></h4>
              <p><%# Eval("ListingText") %></p>
              <div class="fancybox-links-container">
                  <cms:DocumentAttachments AttachmentGroupGUID="C28C976D-C113-48CD-AC54-DAE85BA6B321" ID="documentAttachments" runat="server" TransformationName="tourismireland.marketingactivity.Attachments" Path='<%# Eval("NodeAliasPath") %>'  />
              </div>
          </div>
      </div>
</div>

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for the update - I understand the issue now. Since that control would not work for you, I revisited the control you were originally trying to use. I found that setting the page size in the control does work as expected:

<cms:DocumentAttachments PageSize="50" AttachmentGroupGUID="C28C976D-C113-48CD-AC54-DAE85BA6B321" ID="documentAttachments" runat="server" TransformationName="tourismireland.marketingactivity.Attachments" Path='<%# Eval("NodeAliasPath") %>' />

If you increase the PageSize, you will see more than the default 10. However, I can see that you have specified an AttachmentGroupGUID and I believe that is causing some issues for you. Could you try removing that or navigating to the database CMS_Attachment table and manually checking the AttachmentGroupGUID field to ensure all of the attachments you are trying to show are actually using that GUID? I believe this is what is causing the issue - please let me know what you find.

Thanks!

Best Regards,

Sandro

Putting the page size attribute in did the job Sandro, thanks very much for the help!
