Playa 1.3 - New Publish page limiting & ordering settings

Looks great Brandon.

Hmmmmm, the screenshot above says channel. Do you have 2.0 or something lurking on your computer somewhere? Something we’re not being told perhaps? 😉

Best wishes,

Haha I wish!

That was just me playing around with the Section Word system preference.

Just caught little bug that prevented new Maximum Selections values from being saved.

Fixed it as a 1.3.1 release: http://brandon-kelly.com/apps/playa/

My apologies if you were effected by this.

Awsome plugin! I was searching for something like that for a while. Till now i was “playing” with 3 plain “relationship” fields as drop-downs…

Keep up Playa! 😉

Brandon:

I have a client who will have hundreds of entries in a weblog I wish to relate with playa. One or more documents can related to one article. They won’t be relating 50 documents to one article, just a few. However, any problems with displaying or saving hundreds of entries in the playa multi-select fields?

Thx, Ben

You shouldn’t have any trouble. I know some sites relate literally thousands of entries using Playa, without issue.

The limiting looks great. 😊 Is there any chance of per-template limiting? For example, if you want to display all related entries to a post on the single-entry template, but maybe just a limited number on another template?

Hi Brandon,

A quick question on this if I may. I know that relating loads of entries isn’t going to be too much of a problem as each one would just be a new record if you like but what say you had 1,000 entries (or possibly loads more than that) in one weblog and then you have another weblog which relates to that one.

Would there be any problem in the publish / edit page when you have that many entries showing up in a Playa field?

Best wishes,

I just set up a page for Playa on Get Satisfaction.

Going forward, please use that venue for support rather than the EE forums.

Thanks!

Do I have to sign up to post something Brandon. It’s just I have tons and tons of log-ins nowadays and I just find that keeping things in the forums (for me at least) makes things that little bit easier on my age-ing mind 😉

Don’t suppose you could possibly just very quickly answer the question I had just above could you? 😉

Best wishes,

That’s why they make 1Password.

Your previous post is a perfect example of why I’m doing this – too many questions slip through the cracks on these threads!

But the answer is: yes, it will work.

Ah I know about that one but never really liked it for some reason. Prefer my own systems.

Point taken. Although it wasn’t my fault 😉

But the answer is: yes, it will work.

How well though? Sorry to ask here again and I promise to sign up for that other site as soon as possible but just wondering if I had say 2500 entries in a Playa field then isn’t this going to slow down the control panel a little?

Yes, your CP will become exactly .7324024 times slower. :lol:

Grabbing 2500 rows from a database is a big deal, no matter what you’re doing with them. Then there’s the added page weight to consider. And it might be tough on the browser, too. Worst of all, it’s going to be hard to find the right entry once you have them all in front of you.

But that’s all hypothetical… I’ve never done it.

Well I’ll see how it goes if the project I am going for gets that far and report back with my findings should I get that far 😉

Thanks again for such fantastic add-ons and fantastic support.

Best wishes,

Mark
