how do i get alphabetic order

[mar]

hi, how do i get Phoca Documentation to list articles in alphabetic order ???

[Jan]

Hi, if there is no parameter for this, you need to customize the sql query (set ordering here)

Hi, see the post above, this needs to be customized in the code

If you do better modification for J1.6/7 then you can feed off of content ordering parameters. I modified your code as follows to do just that. Please consider adopting. I did not consider backward compatible to J1.5.

category.php function _getArticleOrdering
$app->getParams(); to $app->getParams('com_content');
$params->get('article_order', 1 ); to $params->get( 'order_date', 1 ) . '.' . $params->get( 'orderby_sec', 1 );

phocadocumentation.php (helper front)

getOrderingText function:

function getOrderingText ($ordering, $category = false) {
$ordersplit = explode('.',$ordering);
if (is_array($ordersplit))
{
if(count($ordersplit) > 1)
{
$ordering = $ordersplit[1];
if ($ordersplit[0] == 'published')
{
$ordersplit[0] = 'publish_up';
}
}
}

switch ($ordering) {
case 'rdate':
if ($category) { $orderingOutput = 'lft DESC';}
else { $orderingOutput = $ordersplit[0]. ' DESC';}
break;

case 'date':
$orderingOutput = $ordersplit[0] . ' ASC';
break;

case 'alpha':
$orderingOutput = 'title' . ' ASC';
break;

case 'ralpha':
$orderingOutput = 'title DESC';
break;

case 'author':
$orderingOutput = 'created_by ASC';
break;

case 'rauthor':
$orderingOutput = 'created_by DESC';
break;

case 'hits':
$orderingOutput = 'hits ASC';
break;
case 'rhits':
$orderingOutput = 'hits DESC';
break;
case 'order':
$orderingOutput = 'ordering ASC';
break;
case 1:
default:
if ($category) { $orderingOutput = 'lft ASC';}
else { $orderingOutput = 'ordering ASC';}
break;
}
return $orderingOutput;
}

}

what about in joomla 2.5. how can I change the order of the phoca tree to alphabetical?

[Jan]

Hi, I think this will be the same way, only there will be other lines in new code
