Below is a bit of code that adds sort options to a layout
see : [strike]badmode.co/online/Dames.html[/strike]
This code can be added to any component layout.
Should work for the 1.5 and 2.5 versions. However in version prior 2.5.1417 you must replace the sort=price with sort=Prijs
The sort parameters are not added to the SEF url. This makes it easier for robots to ignore them.
If you are using Non-sef url's on you site you must ensure the ?sort= are replaced with &sort= where necessary
Simply code to add to a component or module, you an use the dynamic classes to highlight the selected option.
Code:
echo '<div class="sortbar">';
$s=JRequest::GetVar("sort",'','' );
$o=JRequest::GetVar("order",'','' );
$this_page=JURI::current();
print 'Sort on price <a rel="internal nofollow" class="pa_'.$s.'_'.$o.'" href="'.$this_page.'?sort=price&order=asc">low first</a>';
print ' - <a rel="internal nofollow" class="pd_'.$s.'_'.$o.'" href="'.$this_page.'?sort=price&order=desc">high first</a>';
print ' - <a rel="internal nofollow" class="hd_'.$s.'_'.$o.'" href="'.$this_page.'?sort=hits&order=d">Popular</a>';
print ' - <a rel="internal nofollow" class="ad_'.$s.'_'.$o.'" href="'.$this_page.'?sort=adddate&order=desc">New</a>';
echo '</div>';
With pulldown list
Code:
<ul class="nav">
<?php
#add to component/module or create as module tmpl : sort_custom.php
#for a module this version requires svn:1469. for older version wrap in function
$s=JRequest::GetVar("sort",'','' );
$o=JRequest::GetVar("order",'','' );
$this_page=JURI::current();
$list=array(
''=>'Pick one',
'?sort=price&order=asc'=>'Price Low',
'?sort=price&order=desc'=>'Price High',
'?sort=hits&order=desc'=>'Populair',
'?sort=items_id&order=desc'=>'New'
);
print '<li class="dropdown datamenuli">';
print '<select class="datamenubtn" onchange="if ( this.value.length>0 ) document.location=this.value;return false">';
foreach ( $list as $k => $v ) {
$selected=( "?sort=$s&order=$o" == $k ) ?'selected':'';
print '<option value="'.$this_page.$k.'" '.$selected.'>'.$v.'</option>';
}
?>
</select>
</li></ul>
