Question Posts ordering set in kunena admin panel

Thanks lavsteph for this modification, i have it in the archive below. Don't forget to add this, in your administrator/components/com_kunena/language/kunena.yourlanguage.php :

Hi,

the translation already exists in the kunena.english.php

line 1331-1532

I'm using 1.5.4 w/CB 1.2.1. I've set Kunena to use the CB Profile. CB defines a field 'forumorder' which the user may set. You may also set the default to '0'(asc) or '1' (desc). This then populates the 'odering' field in fb_users which is used by the kuena_config_class::DoUserOverrides to override the default setting in the class.

I don't know if the native Kunena profile edit allows the user to change this but the CB profile does.

So, different users can have different sorts without the need for the hack.

Hope that helps clarify.

Hi there. I'm pretty desperate to get my threads ordered with the oldest at the top but I'm very much an out-of-the-box man. I am rather terrified about hacking.

However, I am determined so....

I have downloaded hack_posts_ordering_K1-20090719.zip but I have no idea what to do with it.

Could some kind person please offer an idiot-proof step-by-step instruction on what I need to do. I would be most grateful.

I am using Kunena 1.5.7 (and, for what it's worth, Community Builder and CB SuperActivity)

You have two choices, use this hack for set the post ordering for all users or in my profile->look and layout and set the post ordering.

You don't need hack, the changes are already applied in the files in the archive, just put these files in your FTP and replace the older files.

Don't forget to add this in your administrator/components/com_kunena/language/kunena.yourlanguage.php :

For Kunena 1.5.7, you need to use this :

I REALLY appreciate your help. Many thanks. I Have followed your instructions (I think!) but when I try to get into the Kunena admin back end I get:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home2/onesevsi/public_html/upthewestend/administrator/components/com_kunena/language/kunena.english.php on line 35"

Which is strange because line 35 appears to be "define('_KUNENA_JS_ACTIVITYSTREAM_CREATE_MSG1', 'created a new topic');" which I haven't changed.

Any ideas?

Below is a snippet showing everything from the code I added to the offending line 35. I really appreciate your help.


//Hack to reverse order of posts by default see www.kunena.com/forum/114-hacks/20886-pos...it=10&start=10#34344


DEFINE('_COM_A_POSTORDER', 'Define the posts order');
DEFINE('_COM_A_POSTORDER_DESC', 'Define the posts order in two modes : ascending or descending.')


// 1.5.7

define('_KUNENA_JS_ACTIVITYSTREAM_CREATE_MSG1', 'created a new topic');
