Instead of having a static amount of items is there a way to choose between several choices by using a DropDownList?: <select name="chooseItemsAmount" id="chooseItemsAmount"> <option value="25">25</option> <option value="50">50</option> <option value="100">100</option> <option value="200">200</option> </select>
All my attempt to to use the value of the DropDown inside the itemsPerPage variable seems to fail: <xsl:variable name="itemsPerPage" select="$chooseItemsAmount"/>
Sorry for my late reply - your solution with the qurystring was what I needed - I intented NOT to use qurystrings prior to this thread but realized that it was inevitable... :-)
Pagination with dynamic items per page
I use the this pagination script with great success... however I would like to give the user the abillity to choose between the amount of items shown.
This codesnippet displays 25 items on the page:
<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
<xsl:variable name="result" select="SolrSearch:Search('Aalborg')"/>
<xsl:variable name="numberOfItems" select="count($result/descendant::Advertiser)"/>
<xsl:variable name="itemsPerPage" select="25"/>
<xsl:variable name="pageNumber">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('side') = ''">
<xsl:value-of select="1"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('side')"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

Any one solved this...?
Hi Robin
What does your $chooseItemsAmount variable look like?

Hi Robin,
You can pass the value into the XSLT in the querystring just as you do with the page number etc., just set the variable like this:
<!-- Grab from QueryString --> <xsl:variable name="reqPerPage" select="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('chooseItemsAmount')" /> <xsl:variable name="itemsPerPage"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$reqPerPage"><xsl:value-of select="$reqPerPage" /></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise>25</xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:variable>/Chriztian
