Hi Eddiebouncer,
I just did a search for where $sort was being used and added the extra $order argument.
You first need to get and store the shortcode attribute. I my case I called it order. The plugin author was already getting the sort attribute, so I copied his code and configured it get the order attribute.
Look for the line where
$sort = (isset($atts['sort']) ? sanitize_text_field($atts['sort']) : null);
And then add the following after or before it
$order = (isset($atts['order']) ? sanitize_text_field($atts['order']) : null);
You then need to jump down 50 or so lines for the following (around line 470) and add the $order variable to function calls that also have $sort.
// check if the attribute "only" is used
switch ($only_cpt) {
// display only PAGE
case 'page':
return wsp_return_content_type_page($is_title_displayed, $is_get_only_private, $display_nofollow, $wsp_exclude_pages, $sort, $order).$copyright_link;
break;
// display only POST
case 'post':
return wsp_return_content_type_post($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow, $display_post_only_once, $wsp_exclude_pages, $sort, $order).$copyright_link;
break;
// display only ARCHIVE
case 'archive':
return wsp_return_content_type_archive($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow).$copyright_link;
break;
// display only AUTHOR
case 'author':
return wsp_return_content_type_author($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow, $sort, $order).$copyright_link;
break;
// display only CATEGORY
case 'category':
return wsp_return_content_type_categories($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow, $sort, $order).$copyright_link;
break;
// display only TAGS
case 'tag':
return wsp_return_content_type_tag($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow).$copyright_link;
break;
// empty
case '':
// nothing but do
break;
default:
// check if it's the name of a CPT
// extract CPT object
$cpt = get_post_type_object( $only_cpt );
if ( !empty($cpt) ) {
return wsp_return_content_type_cpt_items( $is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow, $cpt, $only_cpt, $wsp_exclude_pages, $sort, $order );
}
// check if it's a taxonomy
$taxonomy_obj = get_taxonomy( $only_cpt );
if ( !empty($taxonomy_obj) ) {
return wsp_return_content_type_taxonomy_items($is_title_displayed, $display_nofollow, $taxonomy_obj, $wsp_exclude_pages);
}
// end
}
Do a search for each of those functions and add the $order variable to their argument list. For example, around line 900 you can find the custom post type function.
function wsp_return_content_type_cpt_items( $is_title_displayed=true, $display_nofollow=false, $cpt, $post_type, $wsp_exclude_pages, $sort=null, $order=null )
Inside each of those functions you need to add the following before the call to $posts_cpt = get_posts( $args ) is made.
// change the sort order
if ($order!=null){
$args['order'] = $order;
}
That should be about all. If you know some PHP it shouldn’t be hard to implement. But hopefully the plugin will be able to implement this kind of feature.
