Tell us what you are trying to do?
Because Views "Display [x] Items" only goes to 50 or No Limit, I have an add_filter function using $view_settings['limit'] = '[x]' line to change the limit to a custom number... BUT... it falls a bit short of what I need...

When a user is searching 60 miles, 75 results should be more than enough, but when they search 600 miles, I might want 300 results and if they're searching 1600 miles I might want No Limit.

As it is though they can widen the search to the whole planet and only get the static number of results set with the function.

Please understand I don't want to "Display [No Limit]" or an arbitrarily high number across the board because that will take a very long time for all searches, and the vast majority of users will only be searching small areas. But for those users wanting to search locations nationwide or worldwide, I'd like to give them an appropriate amount of results.

So I'm thinking there's some way to get the "show results with [x]" amount in that function so I can set an if statement or switch statement or something along those lines.

Hoping support can provide some ideas here.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

When I try to access the problem URL you shared: hidden link

I can see its throwing the error :

Forbidden
You don't have permission to access this resource.

As I understand, you want to change the number of posts to be displayed at a time based on the distance search miles input?

Correct Minesh.

The error is actually a firewall. If you send me your IP address I can whitelist you.

But yes, your understanding is correct, I want augment my function so that as the distance changes, the amount of results (posts) being looped by the view changes.

Of course, I'm open to alternative suggestions. It may be that there is a better way of setting this, but please take a look at the view (and nested views) in the web page to start and if needed I can better describe the structure.

My current IP is: 49.36.65.150 but meanwhile you whitelist me there is a possibility that it might be changed as I'm having dynamic IP.

Will you able to setup a staging site on another server where there will be no IP restrictions?
