Display Order and Display Category Description.

[amanda]

Hi there


Two question today...

1. How do I make the category description automatically display on the index page?

2. Is there anyway of having my listings order change? ie; if I made it alphabetical listings, could how could I make the database automatically change to a new letter on top each day, so all letters of the alphabet have an opportunity to be listed first?


Thankyou.

Amanda, if you use v.3.0.2 then the category description is automatically displayed.
To change the links order, open browse.php then edit line 80

$links_obj->query = "select * from idx_link where category_id = '$cat' order by bid desc"; 

Change "order by bid desc" to other field name,
eg.:

$links_obj->query = "select * from idx_link where category_id = '$cat' order by title"; 

In order to change alphabetically for each day ....hmm you should create a code that generate
the sql sintax daily.

I do use version 3.02 now, but most of the information from the index page is missing. I have detailed it in another post.

How do we get it to sort by title in hot.php, new.php, pick.php, etc.? (v3.02)

You can't shot them by title (or by other fields).
They will be sorted by category name.
