What you said makes sense. But this is the same behavior with Search module which I based the Bookmarks module from. If a Latest Post module only has 1 post in it, it also shows the View All button. So I think users are used to this behavior.

Having View All button may be useful in some cases where if you had multiple tabs open for the forum and the Home page might be stale, meaning you might have bookmarked multiple posts in a different tab but you might have not reloaded the Home page from another tab yet and it might still be showing 1 bookmark. And depending on where the Bookmarks module is placed on the homepage and your current scroll position, it might be easier for you to click the View All button than clicking the My Bookmarks link from the navigation bar to see the updated list of bookmarks.

The View All button shows up in the My Bookmarks module if there's at least 1 bookmark not 2. It only hides the button if there are no bookmarks.

You have the module configured to show the View All button if there is at least one Bookmark, and configured to show up to 5 Bookmarks. In my mind, the View All button should only show if there are more than 5 Bookmarks, as having it shown when there are only 1 to 5 Bookmarks gives the user no advantage over just clicking the Navigation Bar My Bookmarks. That's just my view. Of course, I could just elect to use one or the other.

That's right with just one minor correction. The View All button shows up in the My Bookmarks module if there's at least 1 bookmark not 2. It only hides the button if there are no bookmarks.

I understand. We are on the same page.

The My Bookmarks module shows up to five Bookmarks, and as long as there are at least two, the View All button will be present, and when clicked, takes you to the same page that clicking My Bookmarks on the Navigation Bar takes you to, and that page displays all Bookmarks and doesn't/isn't intended to have the View All button.

This setup is similar to a Latest Posts Search module on Homepage showing few posts with View All button. Clicking View All redirects to the full Search Results page showing all the results with pagination.

I think you're getting confused with the My Bookmarks dedicated page at https://vbmods.rocks/mybookmarks URL and the My Bookmarks sidebar module on Home page at https://vbmods.rocks.

The one on the Homepage is kind of just a "snapshot" of your bookmarks. It just shows only up to 5 bookmarks with View All button. Clicking the View All button redirects to the My Bookmarks dedicated page with pagination that will contain 10 posts per page.

Maybe it's a Doh! moment for me?

You mean/meant the View All button only shows in the My Bookmarks module that appears (here) on the right of the Home Page screen. Yes, I see it there.

[Snowhog]

The View All button only appears on the My Bookmarks page module on Home page.

Okay.

I configured it to display up to 5 bookmarked posts only.

Well, I've now added eight Bookmarks, and viewing My Bookmarks page module on Home page on my iPhone (Safari), my Ubuntu (Firefox), and my iMac (Safari and Firefox), all eight bookmarks are shown; there is no View All button.

[glennrocksvb]

The My Bookmarks page will not show the View All button. It will show pagination controls at the bottom depending on the number of bookmarked posts per page setting. I set it to display 10 bookmarked posts per page on this site.

The View All button only appears on the My Bookmarks page module on Home page. I configured it to display up to 5 bookmarked posts only. Clicking View All button redirects to the My Bookmarks page to see all the bookmarked posts with pagination.

Can you please post a screenshot?

And now, I'm not seeing the View All button on my iPhone, though I did the first time.

Thanks for your feedback!

The My Bookmarks module re-uses the same templates used in the existing Search module. You will see the same if you have a Search module that includes replies and comments. For posts that don't have Reply or Comment label, it means that the posts are Starter posts. I think it's a good idea to know that you bookmarked a starter, reply or comment.

You should see the View All button in the My Bookmarks module when there's at least one bookmark. Can you please post a screenshot?

In post #2, the first image (My Bookmarks module) show entries with Reply to or Comment on prefacing the Title. Other entries don't have anything. I'm not sure I see the relevance to this. I won't know if I want to Reply or Comment (or just read it again) until I visit the entry. The way I see the world, I'd rather have no 'action' prefacing the Title. It's a small niggle to be sure, and purely one of personal preference.

Also, I don't see the View All button after adding more than one bookmarked entry. (tested here in your Forum).

Added:

I do see the button when accessing your Forum on my iPhone (Safari) but not on my iMac (Safari). I’m aware from my office, so I’ll reverify that when I get back.

Added:

Okay, the View All button shows when viewing the Forum only on a small screen device; smartphone?

I installed it here so it can be tested and bug-free before I release it. It will be a paid mod.. Let me know your feedback.

[Snowhog]

Still not available; not in Paid Mods (I'm assuming this is a/going to be premium mod) or Free Mods.
