[Plugin: ProjectManager] orderby in shortcodes?

  • I have written my own template called “simplelist”. I am using this plugin to display a list of books. I have two categories: Active and Completed. I have three fields: Name, Date Started, Date Ended. I want my page to look like this:

    Active:
    ====
    * [First active item I started based on “Date Started”]
    * [Second active item I started based on “Date Started”]
    * [Third active item I started based on “Date Started”]

    Completed:
    ====
    * [First completed item I finished based on “Date Completed”]
    * [Second completed item I finished based on “Date Completed”]
    * [Third completed item I finished based on “Date Completed”]

    I can make it all work except for the ordering. I have removed the navigation from the list so that visitors to my site cannot re-order the items. Here are my shortcodes:

    Active:
    ====
    [project id=1 template=simplelist cat_id=32]

    Completed:
    ====
    [project id=1 template=simplelist cat_id=33]

    Any thoughts here? I think having be [project id=1 template=simplelist cat_id=32 orderby="Date Started" order="ASC"] or something like that would be very nice. I think more often than not web site owners will want to display a list the way they want it and not have visitors re-order it.

    Hey,

    I have implemented a possibility in the current development version. Here’s an example

    [project id=1 template=simplelist cat_id=32 orderby=”ID” order=”ASC” ]

    This would simply order datasets by id ascending. Same applies for name. If you want to order by a formfield ID you can use the following:

    [project id=1 template=simplelist cat_id=32 orderby=”formfields-ID” order=”ASC” ]

    Replace ID with the formfield id you want to order by. I have modified the formfields admin page to show the IDs. Hope it works, because I dont’t have time to test it now. ??

    You should maybe wait at leagst 15-20 minutes before you download the development version, because I have just committed the last changes ??
