How to order the team member display

    I am not a web developer. I have installed and activated the plugin OK. I have created four team members with a title (name) and an image but minimal text, just trying to understand the behaviour of the plugin. There is an attribute named Order for each team member, and I assumed, perhaps naively that this attribute value would determine the display order down my page. I have only one column at present. the shortcode I have added to my page is [woothemes_our_team limit=”20″ size=”50″]. This resulted in a page where the team members appear to be listed in an order that is not understandable to me. Reading the documentation I sense that I need to add a a specification for the keyword orderby to my shortcode, such as [woothemes_our_team limit=”20″ size=”50″ orderby=”menu_order”]. I can not find a value that gives me what I want, namely the order specified by the value of the attribute order. What am I missing ?

  • Hi Mike

    Not an expert but read this in the codex –

    ‘menu_order’ – Order by Page Order. Used most often for Pages (Order field in the Edit Page Attributes box) and for Attachments (the integer fields in the Insert / Upload Media Gallery dialog), but could be used for any post type with distinct ‘menu_order’ values (they all default to 0).

    Then noticed the ‘order by’ attribute in each of my team members defaults to 0. Does yours? If so, try changing

    Hi Johnny,

    Thanks for your suggestions. I initially had a value of 0 for the Order attribute for each team member, so I set these values to 1 through n, and had orderby=”menu_order” specified in the shortcode. Sadly no change, the display order remains what seems to me to essentially random. I have to presume that some where in the code for this plugin there is a database retrieval that could/does include an order by clause, but it is less than obvious to me from the supplied documentation and notes how to influence this retrieval from the database. Hopefully the developer can respond with some hints for me.

    Hello,

    I have just tried this myself. I used the Page attribure [order] and specified 0-5. I then updated my shortcode as follows:

    [woothemes_our_team limit=”10″ order=”ASC” orderby=”menu_order” ]

    The order is case sensitive as I found it did not work until I put it in CAPS.

    Cheers

    Many thanks Gavin, your advice hit the nail on the head. The need to have a value for the keyword order and that the value must be in upper case is less than obvious. So I now have what I need. It is a pity that the developer has not responded, but hopefully the documentation could be updated to clarify the behaviour that Gavin has observed. My problem has been resolved.
