Repeater limit

[Frank Vèssia]

There a limit in how much elements can I store inside a repeater?

Right now I have a like system that store likes data (pageid and userid) in sub pages but could be nice to move this system inside a repeater field of the page template, I think to manage something like between 200-1500 records but I will never edit these records from the admin.

I think that's not where Repeaters are ment for:

Repeaters aren't infinitely scalable in quantity, so avoid repeaters for quantities of items that you think may need to be infinitely scalable. When you edit a repeater field in your page, you edit all items at once. As a result, you probably don't want to use a repeater if you expect hundreds of items, as that may slow your editing experience. It's better to use pages without repeaters when dealing with huge quantities of items.

@Sevarf2: Repeaters most likely aren't what you'd like to use here.

You might consider using either simple module + custom data table (Antti has a nice example of this in his Process Redirects module) or perhaps even custom field in user template (if this data is actually linked to ProcessWire users) populated with JSON -- it may sound like an odd choice but I've used it for certain simple needs and it's actually quite efficient and very simple to handle with json_encode + json_decode
