bwakad Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Here I go again... I hope none of you get bored, but I installed Page List Show Page Id module. The reason for this is I want to change a couple of pages and would like to hold on to the order of ID as much of possible. That way it will be as less as possible spread over the database. But I see Pages are shown as ASC by default, and since I wanted to know their ID as well I installed the module, hoping it would give a filter. But, although it is a functional module, it does not filter. Does anyone know of a way to filter, or make this module display by ID as well. Now, before people point me in the Batcher module direction, it currently has one flaw to work with - it does not refresh after a change if you edit, this has probably nothing to do with the module, I might need to look for ajax or something, don't really know. I am just thinking out loud here. edit -------------- Finally - I knew I had seen it somewhere - Setup > Templates > Parent-template - under Family Tab I can arrange sort for it's children's pages.I did not see ID, but thinking logically, the native field "created" is the one I need!

bwakad Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 This puzzles me, if I sort pages based on created date, I would expect ID numbers to be Ascending.... My tree pages almost qualify for this, except I see: 74 80 94 85 102 105 How are ID's handled by PW? I assume, even with large imports, the creation date - would also run in same order as ID does.... very strange! Or could it be that some are INSERTED in database???

kongondo Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 IDs are handled uniquely (as in Primary index) and incrementally (like in all other CMS)....once it's taken, poof! it's gone... ...don't worry too much about pretty IDs....the DB doesn't care 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwakad Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Yeah, I know what you mean... was just strange to me - coming from other cms you know. PW is really amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongondo Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 What other CMS would that be? Just curious...or maybe you've already mentioned this and I missed it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwakad Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 Wordpress, Joomla, OSClass - and especially combined with templates - which sometimes have, yet, another framework - combined with plugins/extensions. I was eventually happy with them, until I installed those 'extra's' that make it hard to maintain structure / output / css. I really don't even know where I saw someone mentioning about PW, but after some days playing with it, I really start to see the potentials of it. I just hope it will be here for a long time!

Martijn Geerts Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 even with large imports, the creation date - would also run in same order as ID does, Yes they do: as time elapses, next id's become higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
