I searched the forum and found a post on this in 2008 with no resolution posted.

How can you change the tab order for JATabs? It appears to show the tabs in reverse article ID order (i.e. the article with the highest ID first). I’ve tried entering the individual articles, changing the order, etc… to no avail.

I am using the JA Community Plus template on Joomla 1.6.

Also, there is a link in a past post on the documentation for this plugin, but even though I am a paid user for the templates it won’t give me access to that link.

Thank you in advance!

Dear @it4inc,

The ja tabs plugin on joomla 1.6 doesn’t support for seting ordering of articles, default ordering is “order by ordering”. You can resolve this issue as following:
– Open “jatabs.php” file in the folder “plugins/system/jatabs/”
– Change lines code


// Set ordering
$model->setState('list.ordering', 'a.ordering');
$model->setState('list.direction', '');

to


// Set ordering
$model->setState('list.ordering', 'a.id');
$model->setState('list.direction', 'desc');

Good luck!

Thanks for this good advice.

Is it possible to set the ordering to the order of the ID’s: {jatabs type=”articles” ids=”102,88,103″…

Best regards,

Currently JA Tab only order by the ordering of articles, so I suggest that you set order of your articles: 102, 88, 103…

Hi,
I hae the same problem…I can’t manage to change the order of articles (I’m displaying articles within a category). Could you please tell me how to change the code in Joomla 1.5? Thank you!

It is not changing code in this case. By default it orders by the order of articles first so you need only to change ordering of articles the tab will work well.

Is it possible to modify the code to order by date?

// Set ordering
$model->setState(‘list.ordering’, ‘a.id’);
$model->setState(‘list.direction’, ‘desc’);

Hi Reidar,

I think you can set to order by the created date, try this
$model->setState(‘list.ordering’, ‘a.created’);

Of course the most wanted function would be to sort the tabs by the order of the articles in the code:
{jatabs type=”articles” ids=”102,88,103…

102 first, then 88, then 103

Is it not possible to read this order and use it as the ordering method?

Best regards

You can have custom html added in the same area as the tabs.
There is some excellent documentation here:
http://demo.joomlart.com/extensions15/index.php?id=109&option=com_content&view=article
Also, if this does not help, would you be so kind as to list the specific version of Joomla you are using, for example ~ 1.5.23
Thanks!
