I do not got skype on my laptop.. only on my phone lol, but would be kinda awkward and complicated to have phone and laptop on the go – I got IRC and steam though, but it might be tomorrow am really tired for today..

The weird thing is.. Some posts seem to work, except one and new posts I post seems to be out of order.. I dont know if it’s something to do with the imdb link? all other posts seem to order perfectly.. Except the one, and newly added?

Hmm my code seems to “kinda” work and yet not quite? One of my posts is not ordering at all, here’s an example of my posts ratings:

8.8
8.3
8.1
7.4
-> 8.3 <-
6.3

That one post seem to be in an “unorder” something.. Might be my code? It almost works for me now

Hmm, might be me there is a little off today.. Your code is something I probably want, I pasted your working file with the functions in my functions.php, if that can work?

Then I tried to assemble your class onto my archive.php with this:

<?php
	$order = "&order=DESC";
	if ($_POST['select'] == 'newest') { $order = "&order=DESC"; }
	if ($_POST['select'] == 'prijs') { $order = "&order=DESC&meta_key=year&orderby=meta_value";  }

		 $class = new IMDb_Movies();
         $class->set_update_interval(60, "minutes");
         $movies = $class->get_movies_by_rating();

         if($movies->have_posts()) {
			while($movies->have_posts()) {
               $movies->the_post();
					 if ($_POST['select'] == 'prijsn') { $order = "&order=DESC&meta_key=rating&orderby=". get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), "imdb_rating", true) .""; }
					}
        		 }
      ?>

I am trying to make a sort functions and tried to fetch the id in my “orderby”, can you see a solution for this?

I’ll try this out, and will come back with a reply, thanks for putting time into this!
Will get back atchu, if anything of your code I don’t understand

Tried with the meta_value_num, didnt work out

I use the movie id, so it fetch the dynamic/live rating.. I could use an easy way around this by just pasting the current rating.. But then its a static rating and not the live from imdb

Sure thing.. Here is the code: https://codepad.org/jUndoldj

The problem relies on the top of my code, the sorting functionality:

<?php
	$order = "&order=DESC";
	if ($_POST['select'] == 'newest') { $order = "&order=DESC"; }
	if ($_POST['select'] == 'prijs') { $order = "&order=DESC&meta_key=year&orderby=meta_value";  }
	if ($_POST['select'] == 'prijsn') { $order = "&order=DESC<strong>&meta_key=rating&orderby=meta_value</strong>";  }
?>

I highlighted the thing I mean, it sorts well.. But the problem is, it does NOT sort by the rating on the frontend.. Which would be something like “8.8”, but sorts with the not transformed instead: https://gyazo.com/a639ff8ca88b905aade8c6298256b566

<form method="post" id="order" class="pull-right">
  <select name="select" class="btn dropdown-toggle" style="padding: 7px; background:#428bca; color: #fff;" type="button" onchange='this.form.submit()'>
        <option value="newest"<?php selected( $_POST['select'],'newest', 1 ); ?>>Recent Added</option>
        <option value="prijs"<?php selected( $_POST['select'],'prijs' , 1 ); ?>>Year</option>
        <option value="prijsn"<?php selected( $_POST['select'],'prijsn' , 1 ); ?>>Rating</option>
</select>
</form>
<?php query_posts($query_string . $order); ?>

Sounds great, talk to you tomorrow mate

Would be cool to add you on skype and all that, but I don’t got skype on my current business laptop and with no mic nor cam.. so might be a problem currently -.- :/ Hopefully we can discuss this on the thread whenever tomorrow (danish time) here.. So hopefully I/you see a solution for this tomorrow mate!

Thanks for responding fast and connecting on this thaikolja!

I am always open to respond on chat on steam for further details.. real_player123 is my username

Yes that’s correct? And ehm.. I got the imdb rating by using your plugin functions combined with an other function of WordPress by fetching the get_post_meta field I created under a post called “rating”, there I pasted the imdb link to the movie, marked in bold: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1663202/ and used your function to fetch the rating, and transform it into the imdb rating:

<?php imdb_connector_get_movie("Apocalypse Now"); ?>
instead of typing in the title, which is kinda random since most movies/series are named the same.. So I made an argument called $imdbrating equal to WP get_post_meta function <?php get_post_meta($post->ID, $rating, true); ?> which was the url title that gave me an direct link and correct link to the movie I wanted in my meta field.. But that’s not the problem here. I want to know if there’s some sort of way to order by the output of my tranformed meta_field that is a rating such as “8.8” and not a title nor a part of an url.. The output works fine.. but wordpress seems to order by the field on my post backend and not on the output on my website.

I want a workaround on this, thanks a bunch!

Alright thanks for the respond, will try and post the issue there!

Never mind figured this out on my own, by just using tags on all posts and getting the category tags.

Alright thank you for the quick respond, will try this out if this workaround ain’t doing the thing – I’ll just be waiting for your developer team to integrate Profile Builder with Social Login

But thanks a bunch!
