Chronological Thead Display By Start Date

Works with 2.2.0 and up!

This hack was suggested by Lionel at this thread. https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=35707

Its a small hack but it does what he wants.

##### In forumdisplay.php Replace #####

PHP Code:

// look at sorting options:
if (!isset($sortorder)) {
  $sortorder = "";
}
if (!isset($sortfield)) {
  $sortfield = "";
} 


### with ###

PHP Code:

// look at sorting options:
if ($foruminfo[forumid]=="xx" || $foruminfo[forumid]=="xx") {
    if (!isset($sortorder)) {
      $sortorder = "asc";
    }
    if (!isset($sortfield)) {
      $sortfield = "asc";
    }
} else {
    if (!isset($sortorder)) {
      $sortorder = "";
    }
    if (!isset($sortfield)) {
      $sortfield = "";
    }
} 


to set it for a certain forum edit this code like

PHP Code:

if ($foruminfo[forumid]=="xx" || $foruminfo[forumid]=="xx") { 


xx would be the number of the forum you want to have this be used on.

Two questions:
a) Is this working??

b) How do I have the newest at the top?

[Lionel]

It's working for me. It is automatically sorting them in the desired order. Member can change order if he wants but it will always revert back to set order next time he enters forum again.

[Tim Wheatley]

Ok but can I change it so that default is newest at top?

[Lionel]

I guess you'll have to replace asc with desc

[Tim Wheatley]

No that won't work for me. It just switches back to the normal 'last post' listing. I want it going by first post.

[SystemLogic]

asc and desc work for me, but like I said, now when I post a reply it goes to the top rather then staying where it is....Any ideas at all?

[Neo]

Leave them both at asc.. it worked for me just fine like that.

[SystemLogic]

It's actually not working for me for some odd reason..... http://www.slcentral.com/boards/foru...?s=&forumid=48

[Neo]

what version of vb are you using?
