Module Module: Admin Page Tree Multiple Sorting

[David Karich]

Admin Page Tree Multiple Sorting

ClassName: ProcessPageListMultipleSorting

Extend the ordinary sort of children of a template in the admin page tree with multiple properties. For each template, you can define your own rule. Write each template (template-name) in a row, followed by a colon and then the additional field names for sorting.

Example: All children of the template "blog" to be sorted in descending order according to the date of creation, then descending by modification date, and then by title. Type:

blog: -created, -modified, title 

Installation

1. Copy the files for this module to /site/modules/ProcessPageListMultipleSorting/
2. In admin: Modules > Check for new modules.
3. Install Module "Admin Page Tree Multible Sorting".

Alternative in ProcessWire 2.4+

1. Login to ProcessWire backend and go to Modules
2. Click tab "New" and enter Module Class Name: "ProcessPageListMultipleSorting"
3. Click "Download and Install"

 

Compatibility

 

I have currently tested the module only under PW 2.6+, but think that it works on older versions too. Maybe someone can give a feedback.

Really nice. I'm still waiting for sort=template to be added to the core as this can be really useful with page-tables, which add pages directly as children. 

To come to the feedback: 

• The class Process already implements Module, so normally there's no need to implement it again, but …
• The module shouldn't be a Process module in the first place, as it doesn't provide an interface for admin pages.
• You can limit the autoload setting to only ProcessPageList, ProcessPageEdit (children tab)

Thanks for useful module.

Just wanted to notice that it works as expected on PW 3

@David Karich Would it also be possible to use this to include drag-n-drop? I'm working with release 'year' (instead of date) but within the year I'd still like to drag-n-drop ?

So using your module something like...but then I'm not sure about the drag-n-drop;
books: -year, (drag-n-drop)

I figured I'd try it with the 'regular' sort setting -> first by -year and then back to drag-n-drop, but it of course doesn't remember the -year sorting as the last drag-n-drop. If that's possible I guess it also solves my issue. Let me know if it's possible with this – already awesome for other cases!! – module, or if you have an alternative idea!

cheers

hey there,

set it up like this:

basic-page: -created, -modified

but when i modify a page nothing changes. the most recent created page stays on top. (modified gets ignored).

am i missing something?

also: how to reflect the page listing on my frontend? -created AND -modified wouldn't work.

cheers

The sort order must be specified on the PARENT page, then all children get sorted. My setup:

news (template "news")
- news1 (template "newsitem")
- news2 (template "newsitem")
...

Then i set the sort to the "range" field (a timestamp of the first second of this day) and also created, so that pages that where created later are listed on top:

news: -range, -created
