Change amount of orders shown per page in account

Question

The default amount of orders shown in the Magento account page in Frontend is 10. Also you have the option to show 20 or 50 orders in the table. I want to set the default to 50 or maybe even 100 orders shown. Also i want to achieve this for the product reviews.

Please see screenshot attached.

Answer 1

Go and find the layout xml related to that page and add the following code to it. Clear cache and see the changes.

Go and find the sales.xml in the layout of your theme. or copy it from the original and add it to you local theme.

then find

<sales_order_view translate="label">

and inside that you will find

<block type="sales/order_items" name="order_items" template="sales/order/items.phtml">

there add a action like this

<action method="setDefaultLimit">
    <limit>100</limit>
</action>

so you get something like this

<sales_order_view translate="label">
    <label>Customer My Account Order View</label>
    <update handle="customer_account"/>
    <reference name="my.account.wrapper">
        <block type="sales/order_info" as="info" name="sales.order.info">
            <block type="sales/order_info_buttons" as="buttons" name="sales.order.info.buttons" />
        </block>
        <block type="sales/order_view" name="sales.order.view">
            <block type="sales/order_items" name="order_items" template="sales/order/items.phtml">
                <action method="setDefaultLimit">
                      <limit>100</limit>
              </action>
                <action method="addItemRender"><type>default</type><block>sales/order_item_renderer_default</block><template>sales/order/items/renderer/default.phtml</template></action>
                <action method="addItemRender"><type>grouped</type><block>sales/order_item_renderer_grouped</block><template>sales/order/items/renderer/default.phtml</template></action>
                <block type="sales/order_totals" name="order_totals" template="sales/order/totals.phtml">
                    <action method="setLabelProperties"><value>colspan="4" class="a-right"</value></action>
                    <action method="setValueProperties"><value>class="last a-right"</value></action>
                    <block type="tax/sales_order_tax" name="tax" template="tax/order/tax.phtml" />
                </block>
            </block>
        </block>
    </reference>
    <reference name="sales.order.info">
        <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="sales"><name>view</name><path></path><label>Order Information</label></action>
        <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="sales"><name>invoice</name><path>*/*/invoice</path><label>Invoices</label></action>
        <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="sales"><name>shipment</name><path>*/*/shipment</path><label>Shipments</label></action>
        <action method="addLink" translate="label" module="sales"><name>creditmemo</name><path>*/*/creditmemo</path><label>Refunds</label></action>
    </reference>
    <block type="core/text_list" name="additional.product.info" translate="label">
        <label>Additional Product Info</label>
    </block>
</sales_order_view>

That should do the trick don't forget to clean cache
