Hello,

I have searched for this online but couldn't get it working.

I have a view that I use for showing different items on my website. It is a very simple view that accept taxonomy term as argument and shows the related nodes.

This view also have a pager, that handle 20 items per page.

I want to see if it is possible to dynamically change that to another number, for example if we are in different category (taxonomy term), I want to show different items per page.

I have tried achieving this by hook_views_pre_build or hook_views_pre_execute but no chances yet!

Anyone can help please?

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do dynamically that contextual filters can't handle mormally?

How did you tried to do that?

Something like that should probably work:

function hook_views_pre_execute(&$view) {
  $view->init_pager();
  $view->set_items_per_page($number);
}

I think dawehner is right there, but you might need to use hook_views_pre_build instead to get it working?

I'm going to say this is fixed. The advice in the 2 comments above will work for setting the items per page.
