Question regarding listing pages

[n8craig]

I'm using a listing page for an online exhibit by the NMSU University Museum. It works great to pull a table from the database and leverage parameterized reports along with pixture galleries. Unfortunately, am experiencing some issues with Quarto's listing pages. I may not be setting up the YAML correctly.

There are presently 42 items in the collection. The development repository is here and GitHub pages here (it will eventually be on NMSU servers).

Issue:

1. Whether using Grid or Table, there are multiple pages even though I've set max-items to 100.
2. When using Table, I still get large size images even though I've set image-height to "2". I think as the number of objects increases a table will be a better option.

Is there some error in how I've set up the YAML that's keeping max-items and image-height from controlling layout? Also, its confusing why max-items wants an unquoted number but image-height wants a number in quotes. This makes me think something's not set up right.

Thank you in advance

Here is my YAML for the listing:

listing:
  contents: objects
  type: table
  fields: [image, title, description, categories]
  max-items: 100
  image-height: "2"
  sort:
    - "categories"
    - "title"
  categories: true

Monster thumbs on table listing

Multiple pages (max-items: 100) with monster thumbs (image-height: "2")

Thanks for using Quarto! Hopefully we'll get the listings feature working well for you. A couple of suggestion:

1. Try setting page-size: 100 (or to the number of items). This should make a single page listing for you.

2. Try providing css style units for the image (e.g. "150px").

I think these will get you going (I hope)- let us know!

Yes! Both worked.

Previously I missed the page-size section of the listing documentation.

I also understand better now why image-height wanted a quoted number; it is looking for a css style unit.

Thank you so much.
