Sort topics alphabetically

[Sovereignty]

I installed it, when I clicked a letter to sort, it shows topics that begin with this letter perfectly, but it sorts according to the "last post time", not their topic name.

You can see at subsilver2's screenshot. Does this mod work like that, or did I make a mistake?

The MOD works like that. I didn't set any sorting method as default as you can select them under the topic list.

Ok.thanks...

I think the mod becomes better if it sorts alphabetically with "topic names" when a letter is clicked.

The change shouldn't be too complicated.
&sk=s&sd=a
Find this line in viewforum.php:

Code: Select all

'U_LETTER' => append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx", "f=$forum_id&letter=$single_letter&$u_sort_param"), 

and replace it with this line:

Code: Select all

'U_LETTER' => append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx", "f=$forum_id&letter=$single_letter&sk=s&sd=a"), 

and then change the second 'U_LETTER' line just below it to this:

Code: Select all

'U_LETTER' => append_sid("viewforum.$phpEx", "f=$forum_id&letter=other&sk=s&sd=a"),

Admittedly I am working on half a brain. I did the mod. No apparent problems. But I can't seem to get it turned on. I am only using prosilver. I dont see where in the forums setup to turn it on.... Please help an old dim feller

Nevermind, being not bright, I never redid the cache. Works great!

[Bard]

Like I said it works great... in prosilver.

I made the changes in viewforum_body.html for 2 other styles but nothing shows when I view the pages. I even deleted all the caches. Any ideas?

[Bard]

Bump

Still not working on other styles

[ameeck]

Try refreshing the templates under the Styles tab in the ACP. ACP->Styles->Template->(style) - Refresh

[Bard]

Confused!

I have refreshed the cache. I can see the changes in the code but nothing happens in two other styles but prosilver works just fine. I was torn anyways whether to keep the out of the box look or go with another style. I guess I will stick with prosilver....

Great mod, works fine.

What would I need to edit for it to work with subsilver2?

Also

Is there a way to sort forums alphabetically in the same way, as I have many forums within forums. I know I can move them up and down in the control panel, but there is so many forums that it would take forever to do. This is really what I need, and hoped this mod would do.

Either way, this is a great mod! Thanks Ameeck!

Still looking for why this does not work in another style for me. It works fine prosilver but not in my other style. Yes, I have refreshed, deleted, nuked and fried the cache but still no go HELP please!

[Bard]

Solved this by playing around and finding the right spot. In prosilver the first

Code: Select all

!-- BEGIN topicrow -->

was the insertion point. With this other style(s) the second

Code: Select all

!-- BEGIN topicrow -->

was the right insertion point. I also changed the code from

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_SORT_ALPHABET -->

<ul>
<li>{L_SORT_ALPHABETICALLY}: <a href="{U_ALL_TOPICS}" style="font-weight: bold;">{L_ALL_TOPICS}</a>, 
	<!-- BEGIN alphabet -->
	<a href="{alphabet.U_LETTER}">{alphabet.LETTER}</a>{alphabet.DIVIDER}
	<!-- END alphabet -->

to

Code: Select all

<tr class="nav2">
		<!-- IF S_TOPIC_ICONS -->
		<td colspan="3" align="center">
		<!-- ELSE -->
		<td colspan="3" align="center">
		<!-- ENDIF -->
<!-- IF S_SORT_ALPHABET -->

<ul>
<li>{L_SORT_ALPHABETICALLY}: <a href="{U_ALL_TOPICS}" style="font-weight: bold;">{L_ALL_TOPICS}</a>, 
	<!-- BEGIN alphabet -->
	<a href="{alphabet.U_LETTER}">{alphabet.LETTER}</a>{alphabet.DIVIDER}
	<!-- END alphabet -->
</ul></td></tr>

Hi
I wasnt sure if this mod was what I needed.

I was hoping this would actually sort all topic in a particular forum into alphabetical order. If Im correct a change you suggested above might give me that.

I am mid way through applying this mod.

Editing viewforum.php

However I dont have the following code in my file!

Find

Tip: This may be a partial find and not the whole line.
Code: Select All

Code: Select all

else
{
	$get_forum_ids = array_diff($active_forum_ary['forum_id'], $active_forum_ary['exclude_forum_id']);
	$sql_where = (sizeof($get_forum_ids)) ? $db->sql_in_set('t.forum_id', $get_forum_ids) : 't.forum_id = ' . $forum_id;
}

So what do I do please?
