I have had a long look through existing messages and haven't come across anyone who's done this before or asked about how to do it.

I was hoping to include a drop down menu, added to the 'Sort by' options across the top of a page of products, allowing the customer to select the number of products the page is showing. This is currently an admin setting.

How could I go about keeping the admin setting as the default, but allowing the user to choose to display a higher or lower number of products on the page, depending on the way they like to view products and the speed of their connection?

For example:

Products per page:
10
20
30
50
75
100
All

I guess the other consideration would be would how the option would work if the user is not logged in and how it would work for logged in users. For users not logged in, the preference lasts for the duration of the session. If they are logged in, perhaps that preference is retained... or maybe that would be too complicated...

Anyone with any ideas about what template changes to make to implement this?
