Change ordering of posts/topics

#1 · January 24, 2017, 12:51 pm

The available filters allow you to change the odering of your posts and topics. Here are a few code-example which you have to add to your themes functions.php file if you want to use them.

Show newest posts first in topic

function custom_asgarosforum_filter_get_posts_order($order) {
  $order = 'p1.id DESC';
  return $order;
}
add_filter('asgarosforum_filter_get_posts_order', 'custom_asgarosforum_filter_get_posts_order');

Show newest topics first in forum

function custom_asgarosforum_filter_get_threads_order($order) {
  $order = 't.id DESC';
  return $order;
}
add_filter('asgarosforum_filter_get_threads_order', 'custom_asgarosforum_filter_get_threads_order');

Show oldest topics first in forum

function custom_asgarosforum_filter_get_threads_order($order) {
  $order = 't.id ASC';
  return $order;
}
add_filter('asgarosforum_filter_get_threads_order', 'custom_asgarosforum_filter_get_threads_order');

Sort topics in forums by name

function custom_asgarosforum_filter_get_threads_order($order) {
  $order = 't.name ASC';
  return $order;
}
add_filter('asgarosforum_filter_get_threads_order', 'custom_asgarosforum_filter_get_threads_order');

Hi Again!

Thanks for all your support and taking the time to respond to people here:)

Question on the ordering of Topics under a Category the Main Forum:

Is there a filter to order all topics inside the Category by latest Posts?

I have a category with 20 topics and I always want the topic with the newest post on top.

Thanks.

Hi,

I get this error (on my local installation) when I add the code to functions.php and try to create a new topic.

Any idea? The tickbox for subscribe is NOT ticked when I try to create a new topic. I am also admin user, and I have the newest version of the plugin.

Hello @notechup

Topics are automatically ordered by the time of latest-post as long as you dont overwrite the default-behavior via hooks/filters.

Regarding the php-error: Please check the functions.php file of your theme. It seams that you dont pass one of the necessary arguments in line 64.
