[RESOLVED] Help with default link sorting

[hornakapopolis]

On the links page, I'd like the links to sort by name by default rather than by the date they were added. Could someone give me a hand with doing this?

I was hoping it was something I could figure out by looking at the tpl file, but I'm not having much luck with my limited knowledge. I'd appreciate the help!

I too have limited knowledge, but you may find it in ./links.php

Thanks for the suggestion. I've never admitted to knowing a lot, and that shows how much I do. I didn't even think about looking at the php file... although now i don't know why as that makes sense. <img>

I changed

Code: Select all

        $mode = 'link_joined';     }       if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['order']))     {         $sort_order = ($HTTP_POST_VARS['order'] == 'ASC') ? 'ASC' : 'DESC';     }     else if(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['order']))     {         $sort_order = ($HTTP_GET_VARS['order'] == 'ASC') ? 'ASC' : 'DESC';     }     else     {         $sort_order = 'DESC';     }

to

Code: Select all

        $mode = 'link_title';     }       if(isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['order']))     {         $sort_order = ($HTTP_POST_VARS['order'] == 'ASC') ? 'ASC' : 'DESC';     }     else if(isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['order']))     {         $sort_order = ($HTTP_GET_VARS['order'] == 'ASC') ? 'ASC' : 'DESC';     }     else     {         $sort_order = 'ASC';     }

and it worked! Thanks again!

A couple lines below that you can change it from descending to ascending in order to have the links go A to Z.

Find:

$sort_order = ($HTTP_GET_VARS['order'] == 'ASC') ? 'ASC' ][color=red]DESC';
}

Replace]$sort_order = ($HTTP_GET_VARS['order'] == 'ASC') ? 'ASC' ][color=red]ASC';
}[/quote]

Just to verify, are you talking about the same thing I have above or another location?

It is working that way I have it, but I haven't really poked around looking at other links pages.

[Master Dwarf]

Yes, it is referring to what you are talking about. Basically our changes change the default appearcance when checking out a link category.
