10,000 users requires 240mb memory limit

I wouldn't but users are dumb and are prone to remove all filtering and render the entire lot.

Users are always dumb - it's your job to make sure that doesn't negatively effect their experience with the website.

Could you possibly provide a default filter, in the event all others are removed? Or add pagination so X number of results are retrieved, regardless of filter settings (let the user adjust X but give them options like 25/50/250)? You could also provide a CSV or XLS export option for those few users who really do need a list of every record.

I agree but you still have to have the ability to prevent users to do 'dumb' things. Lately, I too ran into this issue for a TL web application, listing records in the backend for a table of over 300.000 (!) records. The users kept on contacting me that their pages failed to load. At first, I could not reproduce the failure, but then I realised that they must have selected 'show all' in the limit filter for that table! And as far as I know, there is no core functionality to disable the 'show all' option from a limit filter in the TL backend...

Maybe a good feature request? What do you guys think?

[markhurd]

I think your idea, or any of the possible solutions I mentioned in my post would all be pretty good additions!

You could make a feature request at http://dev.typolight.org/.

I think I'll do that. It's a good thing to make TL friendly to large amounts of data. Also I don't see why Leo would not agree with this. I'll post here as soon as I've added the request.

Hi giel

Did you ever post this request? I now have the same problem and can't find a solution
