So if I just want this to be an AdminCP option, I ignore the template edits, the phrase uploads, what else? I really only need one of the 2 MySQL queries, right?

I think this is an awesome plugin, but I am needing to sort specific forums because of the naming scheme of their thread titles.

Just import the XML, make your settings - that's it.

Great hack ever! :)

Like another poster, I have a classifieds section that needs to be sorted by the creation date. Does this product enable that, or would something have to changed to allow it? Thanks.

Put it on vb3.5 gold and works like a charm. Guys have been afte rme for years to do this. THANKS!

*clicks install*

Im kind of not getting what this hack does. Does it sort the thread order? If so is there anyway i can edit to sort the forum order ie forum catergories in different orders

Is it possible to sort by ID

No. What would be the sense of sorting by ID?
Unless you have an imported Forum or are constantly manipulating the clock, this would be the same order as thread.dateline.

sort by ID It's good import,,
but if it work like you said then no need for sort by ID.

thank you

I've got some idea for new feature

Default Sort Field/Order for Showthread per forum
order by date

-can make some forum to showthread order by date-

inside thread lastest post will be on top like

# post 10
# post 9
# post 8
.........
# post 1

--------------

Any chance someone can tell me how can I remove the date that now shows next to t he thread name? :(

Undo the threadbit Template edit.

is it possible to change the size of the font for the start date ?
to make it smaller then the treattitel

Thanks..

I would love a minimalist version of this that would just let you call up the thread creation date/time wherever needed in the threadbits.

Note that I effectively have that with the product installed and only the threadbits alternation, so it's not a priority- I just don't like having unused code sitting around. :)

Well - just strip what you don't want :)

Did :p

A++++++++++ Hack, WILL CLICK INSTALL AGAIN!!

uh, ::clicks install::

Andreas,

Thanks for this hack.
Question: I believe the template search_results should be edited as well, replacing "$vbphrase[thread] / $vbphrase[thread_starter]" by "$vbphrase[thread] / $vbphrase[thread_started] / $vbphrase[thread_starter]", but when I did that it nothing showed up. Any hints?

Thanks.

Is it possible to show the Thread start date below the Thread title ?

for example:
Threat Titel
Nick (DATE)

ThX and GreeTz
Snatch

Can we specify what forum will be sorted in what way ?

Hi,

is it possible to show also the Time how the thread was startet ?

INSTALLED - works a charm!

This is just what I needed for articles. Thanks!

Thanks Andreas,
Works fine on vB 3.5.3

This is sorely needed to be installed here at vbulletin.org.. Of course they are still using 3.0 base I believe.

Quick question: Can this be done on a usergroup basis? Or is it only on a per forum basis?

-vissa

When I last upgraded, I did not notice right away, but it seems to behave oddly. I cannot get it to sort by the date of posting anymore.

I am looking for a way to sort thread titles that are date-based, for an event listing forum... Like this:

March 03 Event name
May 25 Event name
April 02 Event name

Currently, I have this plugin installed and it sorts the thread titles alphabetically... (so April 02 shows up before the other dates in the above example). Is there a way to chronologically sort the thread title based on a date in the thread title?

I too am looking for something very similiar! I have one event forum that I want to sort by the event dates and not the title or creation date. I was thinking of a user defined date/time field in the Additional Options section of Post New Thread. And then have the forum sort on that field.

My problem is, how do you make that user defined field only available under one forum and then have only that one forum sort on that field.

Too many questions and not enough time... :tired:

Let me know if you come across anything.

Thanks!

Exactly what I needed this for as well.

A wonderful hack. Thank you Andreas!

Click INSTALL!

loving this thanks!

ONE THING: i couldn't find a couple of items in the templates (3.5.4 here):

FORUMDISPLAY: <option value="lastpost" $sort[lastpost]>$vbphrase[last_post_time]</option>

And another one (forgot which one DOH!)

Looks like its working... :)

thanks a lot! installed!

working fine on vb 3.6.1

:)

How feasible would it be to add an option for "random" sorting to this marvelous hack?

How would you modify the code? (Or could we get Andreas to do it? Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!)

thanks!

EDIT: nevermind I figured out why I was having this problem.......it was not the mod it was my noob self.........

Forgive me if this was asked/covered already, but I have a user suggesting the same type of sorting feature under "New Posts" (search.php?do=getnew)

Is this doable?

will this work on 3.68? we are already using it on 3.58 and will soon be upgrading our vb...

works on my 3.68

Does it works on 3.7.2 ?

i need this mod for 3.8.3

I also need this mod for 3.8.x. While it is a feature in vbulletin, users must set it at the bottom of each forum. I would like them to be able to modify the defaults for themselves via their usercp (for every forum)

I used this with success on 3.5 and 3.6, but now we cannot offer users this functionality on 3.8.

I need this mod for 3.8.6 :(
