 1 - Anyone know best way to re-order Categories within a module? At the moment, they show in alphabetical order. I would like to custom order them! I've seen a category slider plugin but not available for 7.1.4
2 - Has anyone found a way to create a Videos Category block for the Video Home Page. Im surprised there is not a default block on every 'home' page for the given modules categories... just makes sense to have it there. |
Sometimes we (i) over complicate things! created html block, hyperlinked 'categories'. Done. Only shows admin created though, not user created cats... so a half fix. |
RE: 1 - Anyone know best way to re-order Categories within a module? At the moment, they show in alphabetical order. I would like to custom order them! There is no provision in the existing code to order categories by any means other than the sorting methods afforded by the sql query that retrieves the categories from the sys_categories table in the DB. To be able to customize the order in which the categories appear, you'd need another field in the sys_categories table that held a numeric "order" value that you could customize on the front end, then use that to organize the order in which the categories are displayed. It would probably take more source code changes than it's worth. My opinions expressed on this site, in no way represent those of Boonex or Boonex employees. |
yeah I looked at that also. As I only needed the cat block on one module, just using html links works fine, and I can order them as I want... simple solution! |
