Hello,

I would like to implement in our web a list of links to media that have published articles related to us (something as a press corner). I’m using the component Weblinks, and my idea is to order the list of links by creation date. You can see i here

http://www.dicat.csic.es/dicat/ca/noticias-2/noticias-en-los-medios

But I cannot see this option, to order by creation date, available.
I don’t know how to modificate the php code in the component. I have seen some pages, but nothing of the code they say it has to be modified fits with the code I find in my files. Maybe is problem of the Joomla version. We have the site with Joomla 2.5.

Or, another option, is there any other extension I could use for this purpose?

Thanks a lot

Mercè

Hi Mercè,

Could you please provide your site url with temporary back-end account, then clarify a little bit about how you want to order your links so I can check it for you ?

Thanks for your help Adam,

I want to order by creation date, in descendant order (most recent, first). The url where you can see it is

http://www.dicat.csic.es/dicat/en/noticias-2/noticias-en-los-medios

Do I send you to you by mail the credentials for the bank-end account?

Mercè

Sorry, Adam, I’m aware now my explanation was not detailed enough.

Here it goes:

I want to order a list of web links by creation date, in descendant order (most recent, first). I have use the component weblinks, because allows me to put the url in the title. I have created a category (“el CSIC en los medios”) to put these weblinks,

Then, I have created an item menu, of a list of weblinks in the category selected (the one I created). When editing this item menu, I cannot see any option to order the list of weblinks by creation date, as it happens in other item menus assigned to articles list of a category. I cannot see the option either in the category. The thing is: does this option exist or not for web links? Shall I use another extension or component?

Thanks again.

Mercè

Hi Mercè,

Thanks for the info. Actually, this option is not available so I will have to modify the code of component Weblinks directly in order to achieve your goal.

Please also provide a temporary FTP account via private reply and I will update the code for you.

Hello Adam, I’m wondering if you received the temporary account I sent to you by private mail. As I didn’t receive any answer…or maybe yo couldn’t acces with the user and passsword? Any answer will be welcomed. Many thanks
