[SP 2010] - Change Navigation Editing and Sorting limit

By default when you navigate to Site Settings -> Navigation Settings you would find that SharePoint only show the first 50 items (pages) in the Navigation Editing and Sorting.  When you have more than 50 pages in the Pages library these pages will not show up under the Navigation Editing and Sorting section, hence you wouln't be able to add them to the Quick Launch navigation.


In order to show all items in your Pages library in the "Navigation Editing and Sorting" navigation pane, you would need to make a slight change to your web.config file on each Web Front-End server in your farm.

Step 1:  Open your web.config file and search for "CurrentNavSiteMapProvider"

Step 2: Add the DynamicChildLimit=”0” property to this tag as in the code snippet below

 <add name="CurrentNavSiteMapProvider" description="CMS provider for Current navigation" type="Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing.Navigation.PortalSiteMapProvider, Microsoft.SharePoint.Publishing, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" NavigationType="Current" EncodeOutput="true" DynamicChildLimit="0" />  

Once you have saved your web.config file you should see all your pages in the "Navigation Editing and Sorting" navigation pane.
