Adding order buttons

answered in bbpress support forum, but very complicated to do

This was not very complicated because I needed just three options. In fact when used default order I just prevented changing the order:

`function my_custom_display_topic_index_query () {
global $_GET,$_COOKIE;
if(isset($_GET[‘myOrderBy’]) && !($_GET[‘myOrderBy’]==’default’)){ // if seleted default, it just doon’t change anything or returns original listing order
$args[‘orderby’] =$_GET[‘myOrderBy’];
if($_GET[‘myOrderBy’]==’post_date’) $args[‘order’] = ‘DESC’;
else $args[‘order’] = ‘ASC’;
}elseif(isset($_COOKIE[‘myOrderBy’]) && !($_COOKIE[‘myOrderBy’]==’default’)){
$args[‘orderby’] =$_COOKIE[‘myOrderBy’];
if($_COOKIE[‘myOrderBy’]==’post_date’) $args[‘order’] = ‘DESC’;
else $args[‘order’] = ‘ASC’;
}
return $args;
}

if((isset($_GET[‘myOrderBy’]) && !($_GET[‘myOrderBy’]==’default’)))
add_filter(‘bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args’, ‘my_custom_display_topic_index_query’ );
elseif(isset($_COOKIE[‘myOrderBy’]) && !($_COOKIE[‘myOrderBy’]==’default’) && !isset($_GET[‘myOrderBy’]))
add_filter(‘bbp_before_has_topics_parse_args’, ‘my_custom_display_topic_index_query’ );

function printSelections(){
global $_SERVER,$_GET,$_COOKIE;
$selval=$_GET[‘myOrderBy’];
$extraClass=’ active-button’;
if(isset($selval)){
if($selval==’post_date’) $extraClass2=$extraClass;
elseif($selval==’post_title’) $extraClass3=$extraClass;
elseif($selval==’default’) $extraClass1=$extraClass;
}elseif(isset($_COOKIE[‘myOrderBy’])){
if($_COOKIE[‘myOrderBy’]==’post_date’) $extraClass2=$extraClass;
elseif($_COOKIE[‘myOrderBy’]==’post_title’) $extraClass3=$extraClass;
elseif($_COOKIE[‘myOrderBy’]==’default’) $extraClass1=$extraClass;
}elseif(!isset($selval) && !isset($_COOKIE[‘myOrderBy’])){$extraClass1=$extraClass;}
$currentUrl=’https://’ . $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’]. $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’];
$myUrlPos= stripos($currentUrl,’?’);
if($myUrlPos)
$currentUrl=substr($currentUrl,0,$myUrlPos);
return ‘<div class=”queries”>
<table class=”querytable” style=”width:auto!important;margin:0!important;padding:0!important;border-width:0″><tr>
<th>J?rjestys:</th><td style=”padding:0 3px!important”>
<a id=”orderbutton1″ class=”subscription-toggle orderbutton’.$extraClass1.'” href=”‘.$currentUrl.’?myOrderBy=default” style=”padding-left:6px!important”>Kommentoitu</a></td><td style=”padding:0 3px 0 0!important”><a id=”orderbutton2″ class=”subscription-toggle orderbutton’.$extraClass2.'” href=”‘.$currentUrl.’?myOrderBy=post_date” style=”padding-left:6px!important”>Aloitettu</a></td><td style=”padding:0 3px 0 0!important”><a id=”orderbutton3″ class=”subscription-toggle orderbutton’.$extraClass3.'” href=”‘.$currentUrl.’?myOrderBy=post_title” style=”padding-left:6px!important”>Otsikko</a></td></tr></table></div>’;
}`

Works as expected here:
