Good afternoon,
On certain categories/archive pages I need to sort by a custom filed.
I’ve added the code to do this to my php files, and it works with the default wordpress theme.
But when I add this code to my Newspaper site, it seems the “block” sort order is overriding my custom code.
While I do think it is great that TagDiv provides so many sort order options, how do I choose “none” so I can have a custom sort order? I tried a few blocks but not all – is there a block that allows us to choose no or default sort order?
Thank you very much in advance,
Shawn
Hello,
This request is custom work because the change needs to be done in multiple files.
For each block, the theme makes a custom query depending on the filter set
The query it’s made in
td_data_source.php
To add a new sort order you have to edit
td_config.php
file and add your sort. Next step would be to generate the new sort in
td_data_source.php
by adding the required arguments to the query.
Thank you!
Thank you!
PS – My suggestion for the next rev of Newspaper would be to add an option for “default” so changes to the WordPress category sort order via a plugin or changes to functions would be allowed 😉
Alternatively, a custom sort order could be added where the user could chose a custom field to sort by.
Thanks again,
Shawn
