I have two k2 categories with different extrafields groups. There is a JA K2 Filter page for each category and I would like the search results to be sorted by different criteria: the first output in random order and the second alphabetical based on the value of the data in an extrafield.

Hi.

The JA K2 Filter supports multiple order so you can order by many criteria but you have to show the sorting options.

If you want to sort without showing the options you can try this. Edit the file components/com_jak2filter/models/itemlist.php around line 52.

$order_fields = $jinput->get('orders', array(), 'ARRAY');

Add this code under.

$order_fields['xf30']='xf30';
$order_fields['xf31']='rxf31';

30 mean Argomento 31 mean Dove

Which one above will be used for sorting first.

xf30 means ascending.
rxf30 means descending.

If you find it difficult you can post your ftp account then i’ll edit for you.

Regards

what exactly I need is to get 3 separate unique orders for the filters assigned in 3 different pages:

/catalogo/operatori (random order) /catalogo/eventi (ordered on QUANDO extrafield for "eventi" category) /catalogo/corsi (ordered on DA extrafield for "corsi" category)

QUANDO and DA are both Date type field and I’d like to have them ordered to have a sort of events calendar.

Hi.

You could change the edit code from

$order_fields['xf30']='xf30';
$order_fields['xf31']='rxf31';

To

$menuId = JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu()->getActive()->id; if (empty($menuId)) $menuId = $jinput->get('Itemid', 0);

    if ($menuId == 121) {
        $order_fields['xf30']='xf30';
        $order_fields['xf31']='rxf31';
}

121 mean Menu Item ID.
You can copy many line

if ($menuId == 121) {
 $order_fields['xf30']='xf30'; 
$order_fields['xf31']='rxf31'; 
}

And change menu item id and extrafield id to suit your need.
BTW i can’t login to your administrator using your share account.

If you find it’s difficult. You can post your ftp account i’ll change for you.

Regards.

It works very well. Thank you.
When I’ll upgrade the component the modified file will be overwritten?

Hi,

Before updating, please remember to backup this file first as it will be overwritten.

We will also consider to add a new function to the component.
