[SOLVED][OWN SOLUTION]Ordering of Category File View?

[bruzzler]

Hi Jan,

do I miss something? Isn't it actually possible to display an order-field in the categories, as it is in the backend under "options"? So the user can sort the files i.e. "most downloaded" etc.

Thanks for feedback

Hi, for now this feature was not implemented yet.

Any update on this? Is it planned?
Is it possible to extract the Code for ordering in the Admin-section to the frontend?
Thanks

Still not implemented but I hope this will be done soon.

I did this on my own and want to share this with you. Hope this helps.

components/com_phocadownload/models/category.php

changed function _getFileOrdering:

function _getFileOrdering() {
global $mainframe;
if (empty($this->_file_ordering)) {
$params = &$mainframe->getParams();
$ordering = $params->get(
'file_ordering', 1 );
$this->_file_ordering =
PhocaDownloadHelperFront::getOrderingText($ordering);
}
$filter_order =
$mainframe->getUserStateFromRequest('file_ordering', 'file_ordering', '', 'cmd');

if($filter_order){
$this->_file_ordering = $filter_order;
$this->_file_ordering= str_replace('DESC','
DESC',$this->_file_ordering);
$this->_file_ordering= str_replace('ASC','
ASC',$this->_file_ordering);
return $this->_file_ordering;
}else{

return $this->_file_ordering;
}
}

components/com_phocadownload/views/category/tmpl/default.php

Row 62 added:

$filter_order = $mainframe->getUserStateFromRequest('file_ordering',
'file_ordering', '', 'cmd');

?>
<div style="text-align:right;margin:10px 0;"> <script type="text/javascript">
function sendordering(){
document.getElementById('sfordering').submit();
}
</script>
<form action="" method="post" id="sfordering"> <select name="file_ordering" onchange="sendordering();"> <option value="title" <?php if($filter_order=='title'){echo 'selected="selected"';}?>>Name</option>
<option value="publish_up DESC" <?php
if($filter_order=='publish_upDESC'){echo
'selected="selected"';}?>>Neueste</option>
<option value="hits DESC" <?php if($filter_order=='hitsDESC'){echo
'selected="selected"';}?>>Am meisten aufgerufen</option> </select> </form> </div>

Row 81 added

if($filter_order){
echo '<input type="hidden" name="file_ordering"
value="'.$filter_order.'" />';
}
