Is it possible to sort the Extended layout like you can with the Threaded layout like in the post below? I'm not seeing the .PHP files for Extended.
FYI I found the php files for the Extended layout.
We really need posts to appear in order they were posted ....new posts at the top.
If someone does a reply we don't want that topic pushed to the top....we just want it to stay in order.
With what we are doing it is super confusing to our users as we are posting stock trade updates and every time someone does a reply it pushes it to the top.
You don't need any php file.
You can put this hook code in your current active WordPress theme functions.php file:
add_filter('wpforo_topic_list_args', function ($args){
if(!empty($args)){
$forumIDs = array(2, 17);
if( in_array( $args['forumid'], $forumIDs) ){
$args['orderby'] = 'type DESC, topicid ASC';
$args['order'] = '';
}
}
return $args;
});
As you can see in the 3rd line, I've added a way to only enable this ordering for certain forums, so you can insert comma separated forum ID where you want to keep topic listed by original created date. The forum IDs can be found in Forums > Forums admin page. Don't forget to update forum Ids in the code before using putting the code in functions.php file. If you need to order all topics of all forums in that way:
add_filter('wpforo_topic_list_args', function ($args){
if(!empty($args)){
$args['orderby'] = 'type DESC, topicid ASC';
$args['order'] = '';
}
return $args;
});
If you want to keep the sticky/pinned topics above all topics then use this:
add_filter('wpforo_topic_list_args', function ($args){
if(!empty($args)){
$forumIDs = array(2, 17);
if( in_array( $args['forumid'], $forumIDs) ){
$args['orderby'] = 'type DESC, topicid ASC';
$args['order'] = '';
}
}
return $args;
});
