Sorting table

Is there any easy way to enable a frontend table type template to be sortable?

.
There is another user who has added table sorting using the Phatfusion Sortable Table javascript in his FLEXIcontent template.

Demo page
facteur4.net/biblond/index.php?o ... &Itemid=73

You can see the javascript in the /agenda/ template folder here:
facteur4.net/biblond/components/ ... leTable.js

Phatfusion Sortable Table script
www.phatfusion.net/sortabletable/


.

That worked pretty easily. Thanks. I'd used phatfusion a while ago, but hadn't thought of it.

I'm interested into that script alot.. but i don't know well Joomla.. and i don't know how to integrate that script to it.

If someone could help me out on that.

I've attached a zip file with the modified template file (based on the default template, which is table-based), and the phatfusion sortable table files.

The mods will respect date type fields, and assume everything else is a string.

Also note that I changed the sortableTable.js file to process date fields in the standard American format (MM/DD/YY) rather than European (DD/MM/YY). You can restore line 88 and comment out line 89 if you want to revert.

I'm pretty sure I fully genericized it (pulled out my site-specific alterations), but you may want to diff against the original template file just to make sure.

You should be able to just drop these files into your template folder (probably want to make a copy of the default for this purpose).

Hi

Thanks a lot for this file

Hi, is this a sorting by javascript? Unfortunately the links don't work any more. I am looking for a php version of sorting the tables. I tried to add theses request parameters in table head links:
?limit=10&orderby=order&orderdir=asc

It works if I use it with standard fields, but with custom fields there is no way to order asc and desc as this seems to be a fix parameter.

Any idea? I am probably also talking about a newer version of flexicontent, too (2.0.2).

Hello

- about v2.0.2, you should update to v2.1.2 r1806

- in configuration you can order by custom field, but frontend ordering override by user selection, is available only for CORE fields and properties,

allowing ordering by custom field is in our TODO for the frontend ordering selector

Regards

Thank you, that's what I thought. It will be cool if custom field ordering override is realised. What I am trying to do is create table headers / links with a GET Param to order / filter. If the frontend order / filter override is possible, it would give us the option to flexibly target elements in lists also from a module, in our case a calendar where we want to link a day to the filtered content list of events happening that day. But there are unlimited other uses for it.

I will keep reading the changelogs then!
