Display order

[mhc1576]

Sometimes it would be handy to be able to set display order for pictures.
Creating a slideshow after the pictures is uploaded and get them in the sequence you want involves a bit of extra work.
Also setting default sort order for each Category would be handy.

Yes, it would be really useful. I just wanted to set default sorting by rating in one category with images from contest (every image has rating from the same number of voters - our jury) and when I go to edit category in admincp, I see that there is no option for this :-(.

I did my search here and find no solution so far. I am just only aware, that this is standard function in actual version of Photopost Pro which I really don't want to use (I choose vBGallery thanks to its tight integration with vBulletin).

Chuck (or someone else), please, can you at least write me what I need to put in browseimages.php to make it work (order by rating) as a condition only for categories which I can define? I know how to change order to random - using this:

Content visible to verified customers only.

But sorting by rating is not that straightforwarded as I can tell so far.

well i thought that was integrated in browseimages....
at the bottom of a browseimage page you have:
display options where you can sort by rating...

it adds '&orderby=rating&direction=DESC' to the query string...

this meens that you just have to add
$orderby = 'rating';
$direction = 'DESC';

in the code...

add it after the vars are cleaned..

after:

$postid = $vbulletin->input->clean_gpc('r', 'postid', TYPE_NOHTML);

that should work..
