Hello Ian.

When i try to login to your backend, i hit this problem. http://screencast.com/t/fQCaxHer6

Thanks, that's fixed it.

Another quick question.

I am using the latest blog module to display entries in the sidebar. But the module is not sorting them by their create date.

See the attached pic of the backend with create dates shown. The other pic shows how they are displaying in the module.

See the module here (under Events Coming Up) http://dev.teenstreet.org.au/ts-2015/getting-to-teenstreet

Cheers

Maybe you can't login because I was logged in at the same time.

I am logged out now. See the account details attached.

Hi Ian,

I am sorry, I can't replicate "module sorting issue" with your site. I have created a blogpost on your site and it seems like it is working correctly as it should be. Do I missed anything here?

Please advise.

Under the "Events Coming Up" module in the sidebar, "Man Camp 2015" has a create date set as December 9 2015 which is LATER than the other two entries. But it is displaying at the top. It should be at the bottom because it's create date is AFTER the other two.

Does that make sense?

Hi Ian,

Oh, I see. I believe this is because the ordering for the query is set to descending. Which means that the latest post will be at the top. Here I have attached to you a file, please download it and put it in your site here: .../modules/mod_latestblogs/helper.php .

Please give this a try and see if this resolves the issue.

Hi,

Thanks for your help. This worked for the "Events Coming Up" module, but now the "Latest Blogs" module above it is putting the newest blog at the bottom.

I don't understand why this is happening. The "Creation Date" should determine the order of the blogs. So both "Events Coming Up" and "Latest Blogs" should be sorted by their "Creation Date" - e.g March 2015 should be at the top and December 2015 at the bottom.

I hope this makes sense.

Ian

Sorry, I've just realised that the "Latest Blogs" module is correctly sorting by "Creation Date" (Ascending). e.g The blogs I created last week are showing at the top.

This is a problem though, because I need the "Latest Blogs" module to sort as Descending and the "Events Coming Up" module to sort as Ascending. Is there any way I can achieve this? I really need this functionality.

Thanks

Ian

Hi Ian,

I am sorry for the late reply.
Here I have attached to you a file, please download it and put it in your site here: ../modules/mod_latestblogs/helper.php . This is a customization which I have hardcoded for you. You can find the code at line 74-76. Please give this a try and see if this suit your need.

Please update us back.

Thanks for your help...I really appreciate it.

1. Unfortunately your customisation doesn't seem to work. The "Latest Blogs" is being correctly sorted as Descending (NEWEST "Create Date" FIRST). But at the moment, "Events Coming Up" is also sorted as Descending. I need "Events Coming Up" to sort as Ascending.

Looking at your customisation, I tried setting "Latest Blogs" (id 11) to descending by adding this to the helper file.

if($id==11){

			$sort = array('latest','desc');

		}

And added this to change the "Events Coming Up" (id 4) to ascending:

if($id==4){

			$sort = array('latest','asc');

		}

But it didn't make any difference.

2. On the "Simple Category Layout" pages for "Blog" and "Events" (in main menu), I need the same functionality. So the "Blog" page is sorted Descending and the "Events" page is sorted Ascending.

Sorry for the hassle.

Thanks so much

Ian

Hi Ian,

I am sorry for the inconvenience cause. I can't login to your backend and your FTP to implement this on your site. Can you provide us with the correct access so that we can assist you much quicker.

Please advise.

Hi Ian,

I have apply some fix on your site. Can you verify this issue is fix and is this what you trying to achieved?
I have did some modification in this file: .../components/com_easyblog/views/categories/view.html.php line: 336 - 339 . By the way, this is a customization on the core files. This customization will get override by the latest version of EasyBlog. Please do backup on this file.

Hope this work.

Hi

I really appreciate your help on this.

I think we are almost there!

I just need the sorting order to be reversed on BOTH modules.

So the top blog for "Latest Blogs" should be "New Blog" and the top blog for "Events Coming Up" should be "TeenStreet One Day Brisbane". This also needs to happen for the Category layout pages.

Thanks so much.

Ian
