Question Group by Date?

Perhaps you misread my thread above when I said:

The important thing is having things listed by date.

It was late and I am extremely frustrated, so this should have read:

The important thing is having things GROUPED by date.

I know all about threaded/flat views - and I know it automatically sorts by date, but that wasn't my question as per the posts before... I was looking for it to group by date, not just list it chronologically.

fxstein said that grouping by date is possible, and I was hoping to be at least pointed in the right direction on how to do that...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was already tired, so maybe I just misread your message.

After looking your image I got the idea what you're after. But I must say, that for now I don't want you to be using threaded view, because its totally broken and has had any fixes for over a year. AND it will be removed in the next release which comes out in a few days (I hope).

Could you give us some time to rewrite it from scratch? It's currently not in our short time priorities, but go to vote it -- maybe someone else is interested in it, too.

Sure, I can do that - but unfortunately I need a solution rather quickly as my client is waiting to get their site up and running ASAP.

Unfortunately if you guys can't point me in the right direction on what to look for in the coding to edit or what file, then I'll have to move on to another program (I've already tried 6 other utilities) immediately to get something together.

I appreciate your quick responses to this issue and will continue to check back. What category do you want me to post this request under?

Is it enough to have the feature disabled? There are already a few threads to tell how to do that. I will copy one here:

Threaded view has been disabled in our latest builds, because it was broken and always has been.

If you want to disable it now, do this (default_ex):

components/com_kunena/template/default/plugin/myprofile/myprofile_set.php:

Comment out line 38:

Comment out lines 41-48:

components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/fb_layout.php:

and then run SQL query (replace jos_ if you have different prefix in Joomla):


Huh! That should do it.

I'm not talking about the threaded vs flat view. I've already said several times that it isn't a problem for me as I know how to disable it already.

The problem is getting the list Grouped by Date..

And yes, it is enough to have the feature disabled on my site because it isn't doing what I need it to do (which is group by date).

I'm not sure why you guys are fixated on this threaded vs flat issue, as it's not even what I'm talking about. I've explained it 5 times now, and even the subject of this thread is "Group by Date". It has nothing to do with this stupid threaded issue. My bad for using threaded in the first place!

I am asking for direction on how to implement the GROUP BY DATE, which fxstein said is possible.

fxstein wrote: The grouping is possible, although it will consume extra space unless we find a way to do this on the outside of the thread list - maybe to the left.

Is it not possbile in the flat view? I don't know why it wouldn't be.

><

I don't relaly know what you mean with "group by date" but about threaded view, we're removing until we can make it work as should, with low impact on performance.
