okey THANKS

okey THANKS

Now I remember that you can do it with native system... On footer of viewforum you can sort topic by author.
Or do you want, like this ext, the first letter?

Can we no longer use the Search feature?

search.php?keywords=&terms=all&author=B ... mit=Search

I tested this second version and I still have the same problem on a real board, with forums having hundreds of topics. The first page is correct, but the second one not. I tested with my own style and with prosilver. No difference.

I installed an empty board and created dummy topics. About 30-35. There are 27-28 with the A intial, and this time, I get a first page of A and a second page with the rest. If I select B, I get the three only ones.

So, this works for a little count of topics, not for a real one.

Does this ring a bell?

On the other hand, did you try to integrate this sorting feature at the bottom, with the other sorting options?

As you can see there, it works on my servers also with more pages than one. I don't know why on your server cookie are not created.

I can think about this... But probably there are any event.

thanks to posey and Bruninoit for reply !!

we can do like this..



but just extension is easy and faster.. nothing

[mrgoldy]

Yeah I understand a one-click extension would be easier, but that will clutter your viewforum and viewtopic even more.. The search function is there for a reason
But if someone wants to make it, go for it I suppose..

As you can see there, it works on my servers also with more pages than one. I don't know why on your server cookie are not created.

It works, but look at the parameters. If I Select A, I have viewforum.php?f=8&letter=A, with topics Af and Ae. If I look at the link for page 2, it is viewforum.php?f=8&start=2 (without the 'letter=A' parameter). For page 3, start=4, because you have a pagelength of 2 topics.

If I click, the topics displayed are Ad and Ac. On the third page, the topics are Ab and Aa. Why is this in the reverse order? I thinks it is so because the posts are displayed in the reverse creation order with the initial A. I think you should add an 'order by' item to the SQL request.

A few moments later: don't you think that you have a cache problem? I think the board software is clever enough to look whether the requested page already exists. That means that you should purge the cache when starting a sorted list of topics.

Me again: that's it. I don't know how to solve the matter.

[Bruninoit]

Yes, at moment Topics are ordered by time not by letters. But I can add simply this...
Pierru I don't know who to say... I used the normal phpBB system to add cookies... It's strange that they aren't added only in your forum... Are you sure of this? Recontrol, comparing my forum cookies with yours.

How do you want it in viewforum? Do you want a form to enter username? Or the first letter of author (like this ext)?

[BF79]

first letter of author should be good

[Bruninoit]

first letter of author should be good

I'll open a new topic...

I have your cookies. *_bruninoit_cf contains 2 and *_cl contains A.
But it seems that this is not enough.

Bho... I'll recontrol the conditions... But very strange if cookie are stored...

Try this.
Open event/sta.php
Search

Code: Select all

if($letter=="*")

Before add in a new line

Code: Select all

echo "cl $cl - cf $cf - letter $letter - fid $forum_id";

So go to viewforum and see some pages and report the string that appears in header
