How can I show all the records in a table?

The EasyTable for J! component follows the Joomla! convention for lists of records, ie. the default number of records displayed is controlled by the website's "Global Configuration" in Site->Site Settings->List Length. The Joomla! default is 20 records and once a user changes this value that becomes the user default.

For tables of information it is often necessary to show all of the records in one page, with EasyTable preferences you can do this. Control over a Tables pagination can be set at three levels - following Joomla! convention - the EasyTable Global Parameters (set in EasyTable Manager), the EasyTable Menu item and in the EasyTable table editor. As you would expect of a Joomla! component the default values are taken from the Global Parameters and they are over-ridden by any settings in the Menu, finally they are over-ridden by the setting in the table itself.

To show all the records in a table you must open the Table Preferences panel and set the "Show Table Pages" depending on the type of table it may be best to set this value to "No".

If you have a short table it's probably best to change this preference only in the table. If you have lots of tables and some are quite large we don't recommend setting this value to no in the Global Preferences as it can result it a lot of work for your server and a large amount of data being sent to the end user.
