Is there a way to globally set the default number of data displayed in CGridView? It's currently showing 10 rows and currently I'm repeating the code in all view files that display grids:

....
$dataProvider->pagination->pageSize = 50;
$this->widget('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView', array(
        'id' => 'some-grid',
        'dataProvider' => $dataProvider,
.....

I tried to add to config file under 'widgetFactory':

...
    'widgets' => array(
        'CGridView' => array(
            'pageSize' => 50,
        ),
    ),
.....

and of course it's not working

I'd like to ask about the same. Anyone?

You can initialize the pagination property on ...DataProvider instantiation

$pageSize = Yii::app()->params['defaultPageSize'];

$dp = new CActiveDataProvider(
  'someModel',
  array(..., 'pagination'=>array('pageSize'=>$pageSize))
);

Thanks for a quick respond. That is a partial solution. What I need is how to change the default page size value from 10 to another number, to avoid setting this value in every data provider, etc. I don't believe that the only method is to change the

const DEFAULT_PAGE_SIZE

in yii/framework/web/CPagination.php file.

There's a number of possible solutions but what I suggested was to add a parameter 'defaultPageSize' to the params section of protected/config/main.php.

You should never change any framework core files but you can subclass them. If you don't want to add the code I suggested (without the intermediate variable assignment), you may want to subclass ...DataProvider instead.

Of course you can still change the page size in a particular view, like you did before.

That's all true and I both know and understand it. But it's very strange for me that we can change other global parameters, like for example:

        'widgetFactory' => array(
            'widgets' => array(
                'CLinkPager' => array(
                    'maxButtonCount' => 15,
                ),
            ),
        ),

in the mentioned config/main.php file, but we can't do it with the page size this way.

            ),
        ),

I extended CGridView and overrode init() like this

<?php
Yii::import('zii.widgets.grid.CGridView');

class MyExtGridView extends CGridView
{
  public function init()
  {
    if($this->dataProvider!==null)
      $this->dataProvider->pagination->pageSize = $this->pager[pageSize];
    parent::init();
  }
}

Now you can use

'widgetFactory'=>array(
  'class'=>'CWidgetFactory',
  'widgets' => array(
    'MyExtGridView' => array(
      'pager' => array(
        'pageSize' => 50,
      ),
    ),
  ),
),

(no promise this will work in all cases)

I've provided an alternative, global approach for setting pagesize, here:

Good job! I like your custom widget factory class.
