REEOrder Module (Custom ordering of entries)

Hi Traverse,

Make sure you upload the included “sort.png” to your /themes/cp_global_images/ directory.

yeah… I knew that, I was just seeing if you were awake. As you were…

:(

Thanks

:D

oops…didn’t see the answer was already posted…

The arrows are one .png file that you have to copy over from the REEorder download. Located here: REEorder Module/themes/cp_global_images/sort.png

Upload to the same location in your live EE install.

Feature Requests -

1. Ability to view category/ies that are assigned to each entry you are sorting. (Useful for sites that utilize category-based navigation) In an ideal world, you would be able to select which category you want to REEorder so you’re not loading the screen with all entries from all categories.
2. Option in Preferences that allows you to view/hide expired entries.

Thanks! Love the module!

@kev_horan and anyone else looking for Next/Prev sorting.

Replace: field_id_14, with the field ID of the ordering field you’ve created. Find it in exp_weblog_data

Replace: lesson-order, with the custom field name that you used for the ordering field.

Must be wrapped within exp:weblog:entries.

PREV

{exp:query sql="SELECT url_title AS ut FROM exp_weblog_titles ewt INNER JOIN exp_weblog_data ewd ON ewd.entry_id = ewt.entry_id WHERE ewd.field_id_14 < {lesson-order} AND ewd.weblog_id = {weblog_id} AND STATUS = 'open' ORDER BY field_id_14 DESC LIMIT 1"}    
<a href="/index.php/exampletemplate/{ut}/">PREVIOUS</a>
{/exp:query}

NEXT

{exp:query sql="SELECT url_title AS ut FROM exp_weblog_titles ewt INNER JOIN exp_weblog_data ewd ON ewd.entry_id = ewt.entry_id WHERE ewd.field_id_14 > {lesson-order} AND ewd.weblog_id = {weblog_id} AND STATUS = 'open' ORDER BY field_id_14 ASC LIMIT 1"}
<a href="/index.php/exampletemplate/{ut}/">NEXT</a>
{/exp:query}

Let me know how it goes.

Has this featured request been looked into at all? It would be extremely helpful in my situation as well. I have one weblog the stores all the pieces in a portfolio separated by category. It would be great to be able to reorder the entries of this weblog, but be able to only see the entries in selected categories that you are working with. Is this possible?

I’m not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but the “order” field is not hiding like it is supposed to. I am running the most recent version as well as the most recent version of EE.

Hiding the field is handled by the bundled extension, did you install and activate it?

If you are 100% sure you did there could be some add-on conflict goin on here.

Yes, I do have the extension and module activated. I actually noticed it on two different sites.

I don’t have a ton of other extensions. These are the ones I do have:

jQuery for the Control Panel (v.1.1.1) LG TinyMCE (v.1.3.2) Tab Forward (v.1.1) Publish Page Improvements (v.2.0.0)

I have just installed the same extensions but all seems to work fine here.

I did however use newer versions for 2 of those extensions: - LG TinyMCE (v.1.3.3) - Publish Page Improvements (v.2.0.1)

First, great module. Love having this kind of control over entry ordering, and so do clients.

Now, any chance of getting the ability to use a Gypsy field for the custom field used by REEOrder? It’s not a big deal, but I’d certainly prefer to add one custom field to my “Gypsy Fields” custom field group, and set it across multiple weblogs, as opposed to going into each custom field group and adding another field. Possible?

Thanks for the great work!

@Cocoaholic - thanks for a very handy module. I’d second that request from Ridge… would keep things kinda tidy - although I could imagine it might be tricky…

All the best

quick question. I have a website with about 800 weblog entries, in different categories. I display 30 items per page and use ee build in pagination. My titles all start with numbers. For example: 5112 C, 4012 C T, 2020, etc

Is it possible to use this module to sort my titles numerically starting with the lowest? Would pagination etc stay the same?

thank you, Kindly, Florian
