REEOrder Module (Custom ordering of entries)

Update: v1.0.1 fixes a relationships bug.

Thanks for your help debugging that relationship caching issue.

And of course, thanks for the module too. 😊

I just encountered a major bug when using this module with MSM installs. When you edit the preferences for the module, it deletes all previous reeorder prefs, and only creates preferences based on the weblogs available in your current site. So, instead of checking each preference if it already exists, we blow away all, including those for weblogs on other sites.

I’m working on a fix, where it checks each preferences, first for the weblog setting (if it exists), and then if the settings have changed run an update, or if new settings, run an insert.

This is just a feature request, as I didn’t see it mentioned before: AJAX drag and drop to reorder entries. I really love the way this works in Playa, and it might make a nice addition to REEorder.

Grrrr 😉

Sorry… =:-O

Wow, this is good… err Fantastisch. But then, I want just a little more. You do not specify to whether we may modify your work in your copyright notice. May I use this module as a starting point and jump start towards added features I need? I will use it solely on a non-commercial site.

Hi Herb,

Feel free to add whatever you need for personal or project use.

Thanks ever so much.

Like a famous burger company once sais: “Oooh, I’m lovin’ it!” And I do!

Currently I’m using the module to arrange the order of the menu and pages in a coda-slider-style website, where the sorting of the menu links and entries need to be the same, and the admin need to be able to change the order of these in an easy way.

Reeorder did the trick. Tnx Cocaholic 😊

I have a client who is using this to sort pages in a semi-static environment based off of categories. Could someone come up with a way to display another column in the Module with each entries category relationships listed? Thanks in advance!

Hi Guys, I have just come across the same Multiple Site Manager (MSM) issue that AJP described above.

It is a really quick fix, so I thought I would share it with everyone.

Basically you need to open the “mcp.reeorder.php” file, search for the “update_prefs()” function, and then replace with this:

function update_prefs()
    {
        global $DB, $LANG, $FNS;
        
        // only fetch weblogs assigned to current user
        $assigned_weblogs = $FNS->fetch_assigned_weblogs();
        
        $data = array();
        foreach ($assigned_weblogs as $val)
        {
            $data['weblog_id'] = $val;
            $data['field_id'] = $_POST['reeorder_row_'.$val];
            $data['sort_order'] = $_POST['sort_order_'.$val];
            $DB->query("DELETE FROM exp_reeorder_prefs WHERE weblog_id = '".$val."' ");
            $DB->query($DB->insert_string('exp_reeorder_prefs', $data));
        }
        
        return $this->preferences($LANG->line('prefs_updated'));
    }

The change is simple…instead of deleting everything out of the table, we only delete a single row as needed. This means that preferences for the other sites are not touched when you make an update.

Hope that this helps someone, as I was pulling my hair out for a short while there!

Cheers.

PS: this module rocks, so a huge thanks to Cocoaholic!!

This module is awesome!!!

Any chance of getting the ‘automatic update’ option happening soon? I’ve been waiting patiently! 😊

It would be radical to have a number automatically placed into the field when an entry is submitted. Perhaps even depending on sort order; i.e. if it’s sorted asc, the number is 001 and the rest of the list gets updated accordingly. If it’s sorted desc, then it simply gets put at the back of the sort order.

Is the attached file on page 1 the most recent version?
