Custom Sort Order of Menu Items

Tuesday 06 July 2004 6:03:24 am

Hi,

I'm new to eZ Publish so please forgive me if this is obvious...

I'm looking for a way, using the Admin interface, to set the display order of my main menu items (folders). Is this possible or is my only option to modify the template every time I modify the folders (main menu items)?

Example: I have four folders: Welcome, Resume, Profile, Articles. By default they display as Portfolio, Resume, Welcome, and Articles (probably because that was the order they were created in). How, using the Admin interface, can I change the display order?

Thanks in advance and I look forward to your replies.

That helped a lot and I actually even figured it out before I received your reply. However, I found that I had to set the sort in the template in order to get it to take. Specifically, I had to change:

{let children=fetch('content',list,hash(parent_node_id,2))}

to

{let children=fetch('content',list,hash(parent_node_id,2,'sort_by',array('priority',true())))}

That doesn't seem like the right approach, however, as the whole point of this system is to allow people to set such things as sort order without having to touch the code, no?

Any idea why I had to resort to modifying the template? I'm using eZ 3.2-6...
