Custom order don´t take global value

If there is something I can test for you, let me know.

Hello

i meant double check the thing i mentioned above , and then if it does not work,

i will find time to test this locally

as i said heritage custom field ordering is new

I was debugging and I think I got a couple of things to think about.

On components/com_flexicontent/models/category.php:_loadCategoryParams

$menu_params->data and $comp_params->data have a different structure, menu_params seems to add an array so later the get('orderbycustomfieldid') don´t work properly. You have noted this on line 1633 but I´m not sure if this is enough.

Another issue is that the code is adding left joins to fields_items_relations.value
, but I´m guessing that fields with type date published don´t have a entry on this table so the left join later fails to order nothing, could be?

Hello

i had time to look at it reason for not inherited is simply because value of custom field in categories is non-empty, instead of being "" it is "0"

-- the categories when you set custom field for ordering to:
"select field"

will set a value of "0" which is a non-empty value thus the global value cannot be inherited !

will have made a fix/workaround for v2.2.0

Regards

superficial tests on order by publish date, and inheritance, dont´t seem to work on 2.2.0 r1906

Hello

tested this and it works, both core fields heritage and custom field heritage

1. please go to
Component configuration / Content Display TAB

and enable parameter:
"DEBUG parameter heritage"
and you get a frontend message like (category view):

- CLONED COMPONENT PARAMETERS
- MERGED CATEGORY PARAMETERS of (inherit-from) category: Sample Data-Articles
- MERGED CATEGORY PARAMETERS of (inherit-from) category: Joomla!
- MERGED CATEGORY PARAMETERS of current category



2. NOTE there is a parameter (in component and in each category) inside the

Parameter handling TAB:

"Inherit parameters from"

- component
- specific category
- all parent categories (e.g. the above example)


3. NOTE: CORE property for ordering will not be use if both:
a. USE CUSTOM FIELD ORDER is enabled (or inherited to yes)
b. a custom field selection is selected (or inherited)
