How can I define my own criteria for displaying threads in a forum ?

[mihai11]

Hi,

Right now the threads in a forum may be sorted using "last post time", "thread title", "thread start time" aso. We also have the sort order "Ascending" and "Descending" and the time "begginig", "last day", "last 2 days", "last week" aso.

How can I define new criteria for displaying threads ? Any suggestions is appreciated.

what else would you want to sort them by?

Actually, I want to define some filters according to some criteria. For example: I might put threads into categories and display only some categories of threads.

I was thinking that the sorting algorithm would be a good place to start.

i'm not aware of anything written where such an action could be done on the "fly" as you suggest. you're probably looking at some major php overhauling and/or a lot of injecting.

This is what I was thinking too .... that I need to modify some PHP files.
