Listing connected pages as they are ordered at admin box

  • Hi,

    I am sorry, but I could not find a simple answer on how to display the connected pages with the same ordering as it is set on the admin box drag’n’drop interface.

    in my functions.php there is:

    function my_connection_types() {
	p2p_register_connection_type( array(
		'name' => 'related_pages',
		'from' => 'page',
		'to' => 'page',
                'sortable' => 'any',
	) );

    and I have tried to do something like:

    // Find connected posts
$connected = new WP_Query( array(
  'connected_type' => array ( 'related_posts', 'related_pages' ),
  'connected_orderby' => 'position',
  'connected_order' => 'asc',
  'connected_order_num' => true,
  'post_type' => array ( 'post', 'page' ),
  'connected_direction' => 'from',
  'connected_items' => get_queried_object(),
  'nopaging' => true,
) );

    Unfortunately this page https://github.com/scribu/wp-posts-to-posts/wiki/Query-vars tells me only how to sort by a meta field, and this did not help me really either: https://github.com/scribu/wp-posts-to-posts/wiki/Connection-ordering

    Thank you!

    Anyone, any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Hello,

    I think 'connected_orderby' => 'position', implies that you want to sort that by meta field that’s called ‘position’ is that correct? Do you have a special field you want to oder by?

    If it’s default admin drag-and-drop order, try instead of lines:

    'connected_orderby' => 'position',
 'connected_order' => 'asc',
 'connected_order_num' => true,

    these ones:

    'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'menu_order',

    Hope that works. Let me know.

    You have an indeterminate connection type (because its “from” and “to” values are both “page”), which doesn’t support the drag & drop connection ordering: https://github.com/scribu/wp-posts-to-posts/wiki/Connection-ordering

    With that said, I have connection types that aren’t indeterminate and the connection ordering still doesn’t seem to work.

    Got it! The drag & drop sort order is a meta field:

    'connected_orderby' => '_order_to',
'connected_order' => 'asc'

    worked for me. You can also try using ‘_order_from’ depending on how your connections are set up. But as I mentioned above they still can’t be indeterminate connection types (from a page to a page), at least according to the plugin wiki.

    Thank you for your answers! LinnAlexandra’s proposal seemingly works, even with an indeterminate connection type, but I’ll have to further test it.

    Thank you again,
    József
