List Manager Forum

Hello,
with version 0.0.3 of List Manager you have limited options, we can point you some tweaks to make the changes, but we're afraid you can't apply of all them at the same time, here the options:

- to configure a default order: you can use the 'order' parameter to order the front-view by default. Place there the name of the column you want the order to be applied to. This order is ascending, so if you want a descending view, you also have to modify the front-end view:

Edit


joomla\modules\mod_listmanager\tmpl\content.php


and search for this section

if(colorder!=-1)

orderForColumn(idorder,colorder);


(replace brackets for the proper less than and greater than symbols, you just have to duplicate the line and and the {} signs to get this:)

if(colorder!=-1){

orderForColumn(idorder,colorder);
orderForColumn(idorder,colorder);

}


This way you will have ascending order.


- Date format:

Date format is defined when creating calendar objects, so you should search for this block:



Calendar.setup({inputField:\'fld_'.$seed.$field.'\',ifFormat:\'%Y-%m-%d\',button:\'fld_'.$seed.$field.'_img\'});


and modify the ifFormat parameter (for your case, the line would be as follows:)


Calendar.setup({inputField:\'fld_'.$seed.$field.'\',ifFormat:\'%d-%m-%Y\',button:\'fld_'.$seed.$field.'_img\'});


For the front end
joomla\modules\mod_listmanager\tmpl\content.php
And for the backend

joomla\administrator\components\com_listmanager\views\listing\tmpl\editdata.php

But as you're changing the default format, this change is incompatible with the change to configure order.


Hope this helps, best regards

Hello,
in order to have the descending order, just follow this steps:

- Go to your component/module configuration and write the name of your date column at the parameter 'Order'.
- Edit

joomla\modules\mod_listmanager\tmpl\content.php

search for this section (about line 415)

if(colorder!=-1)

orderForColumn.....etc......;


just copy and paste the orderForColum line, we want to duplicate it. And add open and close keys symbols { } surrounding the two lines, this is the result:

if(colorder!=-1){

orderForColumn.....;
orderForColumn.....;

}


This should do the work.

Regards

Hello,
right, if you finally upgrade to joomla 2.5, the LM version includes both date format and more advanced ordering functions. In the meantime, we can see at your first example that the 'order' parameter has the right value:

Pubblicazione

so the order is properly applied.

But on the second page we find that parameter comes empty to the page, so no ordering is done. Could you please double-check that you have entered 'Pubblicazione' value at the 'order' parameter of the component?

Thank you, regards

Hello,
the component parameters are the same than the module ones. You will find them editing your menu item (at your joomla menu, not at the LM backend). It's the same parameter section you used to select which list should be published at that menu entry.
Hope this helps, regards
