It exist someome hack or feature to create options in the templates to order the links by date, by hits, by votes, and alphabetical (all ascending and descending and by pagination) or order by others custom fields similar to this php script?:

http://www.web-ref.net/...te_inser&by=DESC

Check the order icons: star, calendar, bars.

Thanks

I'm developing a new plugin, which adds new link display functionalities for LinksSQL.
It will be also able to sort-reorder links listed in a category.

Its name is Xtended Link Display plugin (earlier known as Extended link plugin), and you can get more info about features and news about developments in this thread:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...rum.cgi?post=205881;

You can get more info about my other plugins under development, clicking the link below:

ok, I found the post: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...i?post=186195#186195

The solution is to create some links with the search.cgi.

Example:

Order links of this category by Add Date Descending:

<a href="http://www.site.com/cgi-bin/links/search.cgi?d=1&query=*&catid=33&sb=Add_Date&so=DESC>By Hits DESC</A>

But the problem is that links display "Your search returned 1 categories and 21 Links." And I do not want this.

Other post:

The solution is hack the code in Build.pm but I dont know how this affect to the default sort order to the static pages.

With this hack you can create the same sort links explained before but with page.cgi

Someone has tried this solution?

---

Anothers solutions?

Thank you webmaster33

I'm sure any hack or plugin using the Build.pm will have affect only on dynamic pages!

It seems, static pages use different queries, so neither my Xtended Link Display plugin, neither the mentioned hack, are not working on static pages.

However, later I plan to add the functionality (if possible) to be able to affect and use the Xtended Link Display plugin on static pages, too.

You can just pass the field and order along in the URL, there are also sorting options in the admin panel.

So what do you want?

Y want to create links in the templates with the order options for the visitors, for example:

·Click here to order by hits, or click here to order by add date, descending, ascending, etc. etc.·

I want to adding images for each sort order link before the links list, similar to this french php script:

http://www.web-ref.net/...te_inser&by=DESC

Look the page.

When the visitor click in each image (calendar, star, bars) the order list changes, but I want the proccess completely transparent to visitor (without display "your search has returned...). Sorry for my bad explanation.

ok, the build.pm hack dont work for me.

webmaster33, you have a online demo of your plugin?

Nope, at that time, but I placed some small screenshots about ordering looks in that thread:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...rum.cgi?post=205881;

Unfortunately currently I do not have time to create an English demo. It would take some work to do that. I have to do the developments, and also my studies.

I will try to set up a demo, when I will have time to do that, ok?
(at least I will post some screenshots about it, when I can)

Best regards,
Webmaster33

The sort options (so= sb=) really dont work with page.cgi?

Nope. As I know (so, sb) options are not supported in page.cgi.

That's why I created my plugin. And my plugin knows much more than that, and it is very configurable.
You can even rename the URL option names from "so=" to "sortorder=" or from "sb=" to "sortby=", or the other URL options.
