External Link for Alphabetical
Right now I have my listings set up as the highest rated first, but I would like to be able to give the OPTION for people to click a link and have it rebuilt as an alphabetical listing.

How can I do this?

Thank you!

hello,

I have build a small list in which you can order links alphabetically

you can use the following global:


sub alphabar {
# -------------------------------------------------------------------
# You call this tag by placing <%Links::BuiltinFunc::Selector::alphabar_desc%> in your
# templates.
#
my $tags = GT::Template->tags;
my $letter = $IN->param ('letter');
my $limit = $IN->param ('limit');
my $order = $IN->param ('order');
my $link_db = $DB->table ('Links');
if ($limit) {
$link_db->select_options ("ORDER BY Title $order", "LIMIT $limit");
}
if (! $limit) {
$link_db->select_options ("ORDER BY Title $order", "LIMIT 25");
}
my $sth = $link_db->select ( GT::SQL::Condition->new ('Title', 'LIKE', $letter.'%') );
my $total = $link_db->hits;
my $output = '';
while (my $link = $sth->fetchrow_hashref) {
$output .= Links::SiteHTML::display('link', $link);
}
return $output;
}



you can claa this script with the following url

http://your_cgi-bin/page.cgi?p=yourtemplate&letter=yourletter&limit=yourlimmit&order=asc

Thanks for your help!!! I tried it, but I got this error -- did you create a new template too?


"Invalid Site HTML method: site_html_alphabar (alphabar.html). Most likely template does not exist in default. at /www/ccc.com/cgi-bin/ccc/admin/Links/SiteHTML.pm line 208."
