Is it possible to have a dropdown box on the site so that the user can select how he/she wants to sort the articles on the page? I would prefer to have a dropdown box with class attributes to sort with.
Thanks
Vivek

How about you create a view for each sorting method? this should work

You could create a form (with the dropwown in it) that is automatically posted every time the state of the dropdown is changed. Use Javascript to catch the event. In addition, use Javascript in order to post different values based on the different sorting selections. If you submit the data using the POST method then you'll have to extract it using the ezhttp template operator. If you're using the GET method then you'll have to incooperate the desired sorting method into the URL. This is possible by making use of the "view parameters" mechanism: http://www.example.com/your_page/(sort_method)/alphabetical. Extract the variable like this: "$view_parameters.sort_method". Based on the extracted variable you can then do different sortings in your fetch. Balazs

Hi Balazs, Isn't that functionality of 3.4 only? I would love to see it appear in 3.3-4 or so, this reduces the manual patching after an upgrade of 3.3-stable for me :-) -paul

Paul, Which functionality do you mean? The extra view parameters are available in 3.3-3. Balazs

Hi Balazs, I mean the custom template variable passing like http://mysite/my/nice/url/(myvariable)/myvalue I had to pull some files from the trunk to patch my 3.3-3 site for enabling this feature. best regards -paul

Hi Balacz, I tried this with 3.3-3 and it didn't work. Check: http://www.ez.no/community/bug_reports/view_parameters_only_works_with_offset
Paul,
any chance that you could help me backport this? I really need flexible view parameters with nice urls. Karsten.

I am using 3.3.4 and view_parameters don't work. Karsten, were you able to get this to work? What files do I need to backport from 3.4 to make this work.
Thanks
Vivek

Paul, Can you tell me what files did you backport to get the extra view_parameters working?
Thanks

These are the ones I copied from the trunk (the 3.4 beta should be fine)
kernel/content/view.php
index.php
lib/ezutils/classes/ezmodule.php
lib/ezutils/classes/ezuri.php

After importing files from the trunk, I don't get module not found error anymore. But still I don't get the view parameters. I use the view parameters in my URL as content/view/full/555/sort_method/city After that I am printing all the view parameters by {$view_parameters|attribute(show)} sort_method is not in the attribute list. Any ideas? Vivek

Hi Vivek, I think since 3.4 you have to use parentheses here.
Try
content/view/full/555/(sort_method)/city
it should be available as
{$view_parameters.sort_method}
then. Silke
