Administrator Component List Hack

Here is a little hack to make the 'Components' tab on the right side of the 'Home' administrator screen show all components by default.

In your mod_components.php file under administrator/modules/, change the following lines (59-63 in my file):

if ( $task == 'listcomponents' ) {

       $topLevelLimit = 10000;        

} else {        

       $topLevelLimit = $count;        // }

to look like:

// if ( $task == 'listcomponents' ) {
            $topLevelLimit = 10000;
        // } else {
        //    $topLevelLimit = $count;
        // }

That will do it, but if you really want to be complete you should go through the next section of code and take out the  topLevelLimit checks. The list loads very fast on my system, so I didn't feel this was needed (expect to have to make this change every time you update your core system).

enjoy
