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. ;)
