sort order of articles

Gallex · 2015-05-30 10:15:29

hi,

i need to sort articles from section products by ID-s.
is this correct, working code?

<txp:article_custom section="products" sort="field(section,81,73,77,84,45,64,78)" />

I might be wrong but what I think that you need is

<txp:article_custom section="products" sort="ID (81,73,77,84,45,64,78)" />

nope:

Tag error: <txp:article_custom limit="50" section="tooted" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="tooted"  sort="ID (26,25,24,23,22,21,20,19,18,17,16)"> ->  Textpattern Error: FUNCTION trykised.eu.ID does not exist while parsing form tooted_vasak_tulp on page default

my exact code:

<txp:article_custom limit="50" section="tooted" wraptag="ul" break="li" class="tooted"  sort="ID (26,25,24,23,22,21,20,19,18,17,16)">
<txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink>
</txp:article_custom>

I don’t think your (original) version can work, because you’re comparing sections with id numbers and it won’t find them (the field derives (I think) from MySQL, so your version looks for entries in the field “section” which will be names not numbers). I think you need:

<txp:article_custom id="81,73,77,84,45,64,78" sort="field(id,81,73,77,84,45,64,78)" />

As you are already specifying id numbers, you don’t need to additionally provide the section as an attribute (unless some of those numbers aren’t in the products section, that is). If those are the only id numbers in that section, that will suffice.

If you have other article id numbers in the products section, you can try

<txp:article_custom section="products" sort="field(id,81,73,77,84,45,64,78)" />

and then see what happens with the article id numbers you don’t specify in the sort …

yes i do. this solution didn’t work either: it outputs all articles from section

Strange, but I’m working actually on a site where I use the simple code below, and it works, the article order is the same as the order of the IDs. And if I change the order of the IDs, the article order changes according to the ID order:

<txp:article_custom id='<txp:custom_field name="cf-name" />' form="form" />

this is not the same. i want to take article ids from content>articles

GugUser · 2015-05-30 13:43:08

What’s the difference? What are “IDs from content>articles”?

Any specific reason, gallex, why you didn’t use the example from the docs like it is, without interpreting it, or the first one jakob proposed, respectively?

jakob · 2015-05-30 15:46:36

Sorry, I should have written under the first option I suggested:

If those are the only id numbers in that section that you want to show, then that will suffice.

See also Oleg/etc’s post for a shorthand version.
