Hi there,

I would like to create a new sorting option for the block.

I Newspaper theme I put this code

case 'upcoming':
$wp_query_args['orderby'] = 'event_start_date';
$wp_query_args['order'] = 'ASC';
break;

in td_data_source.php

And this code:

'Upcoming events' => 'upcoming'

in td_generic_filter_array.php

Wher can I find this files in Newsmag?

Cheers

Hi Lucian,

excellent, thanks very much.

Can I put these files down in Newsmag-child folder after editing?

Hi,

Unfortunately those files aren’t editable via child theme so you would have to do it within the main theme.
You can see the list of files which can be overrided by the child theme here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/child-theme-documentation-newsmag/

Thanks

Hi there,

What would be the best way to update the theme if I can’t use child theme? Just manually like keeping a log of all custom changes and put them back after updating the whole theme? Or updating just the patch? Is there maybe a smarter way of doing it?

Hi,

If you can’t use the child theme to change the files you need you can do it manually and keep a log of you modifications like you’ve also noted and use the patch. Follow the theme changes log to see which files are modified and if the files which you’ve altered aren’t changed just copy the patch files via FTP.

Thanks
