Control the order of items in manual blocks

Elena Stoycheva	Monday 07 June 2010 1:24:30 am Hi, there! I've been using this great extension for a long time. However, during the process of improving frontpage objects with layout attributes in my projects, I've got the necessity to control the order of valid nodes added in the ezflow blocks ( both manual and dynamic ). Is that possible? About dynamic blocks probably a new fetch function might be added, but I'm not quire sure how exactly to do this. As far as to the manual blocks, when a number of valid nodes had been added, the system interprets such blocks as stacks in which the last added item is first published. Is there any way to change this order? I'll appreciate any help and advices! Best regards, Eli Iguana IT - http://www.iguanait.com
Łukasz Serwatka	Monday 07 June 2010 6:56:07 am Which eZ Flow version do you use? In latest eZ Flow version you can change order in manual blocks using drag and drop functionality (in the frontpage edit mode). This relates to both valid nodes and items in the queue. When it comes to the dynamic blocks you have to change fetching options on the PHP level. Take a look how it is done in the extension/ezflow/classes/fetches/ezflowlatestcontent.php or in extension/ezflow/classes/fetches/ezflowlatestobjects.php Personal website -> http://serwatka.net Blog (about eZ Publish) -> http://serwatka.net/blog

Looks like, once you drag & drop the items, the ezflow will sort the items by the "show or display date/time", not by priority.

Michael Lee	Monday 04 October 2010 2:47:11 am Hi Romeo, This issue has been fixed in ezflow 2.1 and 2.2, you can get it from http://svn.ez.no/svn/extensions/ezflow/stable/, or you can install the eZ Publish 4.4 community release ( it includes the latest stable releases of all important extensions). The eZ Publish 4.4 community edition can be downloaded at http://share.ez.no/blogs/ez/the-base-of-the-community-project-ez-publish-fuji-4.4-released-today.-let-s-launch-the-rocket Besides, you can also check issue.ez.no for any known issues and if it's already fixed, you can get a patch to fix it or you will know in which revision of the code base, the issue has been fixed. For this case, please refer to http://issues.ez.no/IssueView.php?Id=16594 Good luck :) Michael Michael Lee \| Managing Director \| ZerusTech Ltd \| www.zerustech.com Skype: zerustech
