Anguz Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 I need the visitor to be able to sort the list by whatever column that's displayed in the products list, like: code, weight or price... pretty much like you sort your emails in your Yahoo! or Hotmail inbox I found this contribution: Product Sort http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ons,911/page,11 but from the description I'm not sure it does what I need and wouldn't want to make the changes needed and then find out it doesn't also I'd like the product description page to have "prev" "next" links to the following or prior product in the list, in the order that it was sorted with the method mentioned above... what do I have to do? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Did you try clicking the titles of the columns? They are designed to sort on the product lisiting. :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguz Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 yes, I tried it... for a moment now you made me wonder if I post this question about something that was there I tried again, but it doesn't sort the columns :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 You are refering the listing of the products via the default.php that displays the product listing, correct? You have not added any add-ons for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 As to Prev/Next ... I posted an update to the original add-on but it is not looking at sort orders or managing itself based on searches etc. It is only concerned with products in the category. This could be customized. And is on the To Do list to have a variable set to the array used that overrides the category group and use that instead. This way if you come from What's New, Search or Product Listing you would be in the order you last were looking at for the Prev/Next. Plus the fun part of getting you back to where you came from without a major issue. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguz Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 no, I haven't added anything for this yet, cause I'm not sure what to add yeah, it's the default.php file when you ask to list the products in a category Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Do you have an URL we could peek at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to study more about arrays and learn to do what you tell me here thanks for the hint ;) about the add-on you mention for this, which one of the two prev-next is it? http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ions,878/page,4 or http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ons,1164/page,5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 This is the one I fooled with and made some changes to. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ons,1164/page,5 I have to check and see if I am not using a new modificaton with some changes Kim showed me the other day to make it better. When I get done with the current project I am working on I will be looking at creating a *smart* array ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguz Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 Do you have an URL we could peek at? sure! this is one of my test catalog's categories: http://www.anguz.net/catalog/default.php?cPath=21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll let that wait 'till you're done with the smart upgrade ;) it'd be really nice to have a notification system for the contributions, to be alerted when one received an upgrade :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Only if you had Watch this topic and I rememebered to add on to this one and not a new one for announcing a new contribution ... 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguz Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 hehe... I'm 'watching' this topic, but don't worry about it, I'll be checking the contribution for the upgrade from time to time ;) btw, did you have a look at the link I gave you? is it supposed to be like that? cause when you said it should sort the columns by clicking the title, it made me wonder if I somehow changed something to disable it, but I really doubt it, cause I didn't mess with the code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Something is changed on your page. Are you sure you are using the original default.php and product_listing.php for that snapshot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anguz Posted May 3, 2003 Author Share Posted May 3, 2003 Something is changed on your page. Are you sure you are using the original default.php and product_listing.php for that snapshot? yeah, well no, I did change the header and took out some boxes on the sides, but I didn't change anything else other than that... but those changes weren't made to default.php or product_listing.php files now that I think about it just as a note, I don't know if it may be the reason, I'm using version 2.2 MS1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajeh Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 No that code has been there since forever ... I am not sure how you are missing the links if you never touched the default.php or product_listing.php files. This is straight MS1 ... not Ian's Load5 or some other version right?

Ajeh Posted May 3, 2003 Share Posted May 3, 2003 Something appears very different in your files. I am looking at 02-22-2003 and have the links. I don't have a MS1 from the 17th loaded, but if I get time this weekend I will load one and see if there is something different that I can see. But somewhere I think you have a file that is not current or has been modified and removed the sort links. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
