Alphabetical Sort Default By Forum for vB3

Hi gang,

I have been using Chens code for alphabetical sorting of a forum by default, and would like to ask if someone could take a stab at applying this for vB3 Gold.

Thanks! :)

In forumdisplay.php

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if ($sortorder != 'asc')

    {

REPLACE it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
    if ($sortorder != 'asc' AND $foruminfo['forumid'] != 'XX')

    {

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
        default:

            $sqlsortfield = 'lastpost';

            $sortfield = 'lastpost';

    }

REPLACE it with:

PHP Code:


		
			
        default:

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

            $sqlsortfield = 'thread.title';

            $sortfield = 'thread.title';

        else:

            $sqlsortfield = 'lastpost';

            $sortfield = 'lastpost';

        endif;

    }

That's how I have it set up to sort one of my forums. ;)

Don't forget to replace XX with the forumid of the forum you want to default to alphabetical sorting. ;)

Boofo, thank you so much! Worked like a charm.

2 follow ups:
- How should I add more than one forum to sort like this? I have a couple that need to have this?
- Not as important but would be a nice touch, do you think it is possible to modify the "Previous Thread | Next Thread" links to direct to the next thread by alphabetical order as well?

Thank you again for the fast responce. :)

You would use this in place of the code I posted above:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($sortorder != 'asc' AND $foruminfo['forumid'] != 'XX' AND $foruminfo['forumid'] != 'XX' AND $foruminfo['forumid'] != 'XX') 

    {

PHP Code:


		
			
default: 

        if ($foruminfo['forumid'] == 'XX' OR $foruminfo['forumid'] == 'XX' OR $foruminfo['forumid'] == 'XX'): 

            $sqlsortfield = 'thread.title'; 

            $sortfield = 'thread.title'; 

        else: 

            $sqlsortfield = 'lastpost'; 

            $sortfield = 'lastpost'; 

        endif; 

    }

As far as the last thread and next thread goes, I'm not sure how to pull that off. Since I only use this on 1 forum, I've never had the need to try and figure it out. ;)

Thank you again! I will make the changes tonight.

For the Previous/Next" thread link issue, the more I thought about it, I think it just may be simpler to remove it from that template that section uses. Not a big deal for this perticular section.

You're very welcome. ;)

Let me know how it goes. ;)

If this is applied to a forum, will it be applied to all of its subforums as well?

Boofo,

Just tried it now and the code for applying to multiple forums is working great!

Thank you again. :)

You would have to enter the forumids of those forums, too, I think. ;)

for anyone who has this mod, is there a way to set it so its either accending or decending. when I applied this mod above... it did sort alphabetical, however its going z to a and I'd like to make it a to z

chrisvonc

For me, it sorted mine from A to Z as soon as I applied it and the only modification I made to the above code was to use the multiple forum version of the coding above.

But I remember Chens vB2.x version had that issues as well at first and then he fixed it by adding

PHP Code:


		
			
  $sqlsortorder=''; 

  $order['asc']='selected'; 

}

Maybe there is a vb3 type of similar fix that you need?

I guess I'll start in this post before making a new one....Is there a way to sort FORUMS like this? As an example, say I have a forum with a large list of music groups in it. Each one of those groups has its own subforum with threads in it. I would like the forums for the artists to be sorted alphabetically. Is that possible?

You can define forum order in Forum Manager (Admin Control Panel)

BrandonC

Yes, but if there are new forums added (new artists, etc.), those ordering fields will have to be constantly updated. I was just wondering if there was a way to put a default sort on the forums display without having to manually type in the order.

Thanks for the quick reply though!!

Hi I've tried the mentioned examples to the T but they don't appear to be working for me.
I am using vBulletin Version 3.0.3
Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance

How can I get this modification to also override a users default post display by days" to "since beginning" & display all threads on one page overriding the general forum's 25 threads per page default?
I only require this in one forum.
