List threads alphabetically for only 1 forum?

Is there a way that I can list the threads from a certain forum alphabetically, but only for that forum?

Boofo,

You can try this code, but I did not test it.

Open forumdisplay.php

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
        default:

            $sqlsortfield = 'lastpost';

            $sortfield = 'lastpost';

Relace With:

PHP Code:


		
			
        default:

            if ( $foruminfo['forumid'] == $yourforumid ) :

                $sqlsortfield = 'thread.title' ;

            else :

                $sqlsortfield = 'lastpost' ;

                $sortfield = 'lastpost' ;

            endif ;

replace the variable $yourforumid with forumid of the forum that you want to display it as the default. Hope this helps.

Cheers,

That did the trick. Thank you, sir. ;)

One last thing, is there a way to reverse the sort order? It goes from the largest to the smallest number now. I would like it to go from the smallest to the largest. Do you know what I mean? ;)

An even easier way is to make the forum into a link. Then in the url have:

http://www.yoursite.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=xx&daysprune=30&order=asc&sort=title

But that wouldn't catch it for searches and new posts, would it?

Yes but not in default alphabetical order.

I need to have it that way anywhere you get to it from the board. ;)

Edit: I got it. I just replaced:

PHP Code:


		
			
 // look at sorting options:
if ($sortorder != 'asc')
{

with:

PHP Code:


		
			
 // look at sorting options:
if ($sortorder != 'asc' AND $foruminfo['forumid'] != '37')
{

and that took care of it. ;)

g-force2k2, I changed the code that you suggested to this:

PHP Code:


		
			
         default:
            if ( $foruminfo['forumid'] == '37' ):
                $sqlsortfield = 'thread.title';
                $sortfield = 'thread.title';
            else:
                $sqlsortfield = 'lastpost';
                $sortfield = 'lastpost';
            endif;

That will be ok, right? ;)

Boofo, I did those template edits to my forumdisplay.php. It works for 2 sub-forums but it doesn't work for 5. Let's say I have 5 sub-forums (ids = 19, 20, 26, 27, 28) that I want sorted alphabetically, how would I code that?

naxialys made a Hack for 3.0 which lets you specify default sort Order for each Forum via AdminCP.

That sounds like a nice option to have. But what kind of forum would it be that you'd want the posts to be shown in alphabetical order?

:bunny:

Found it. Thank you for pointing me to the hack. Here's an example of a forum I want sorted alphabetically:
