Hi, I encountered an issue I can't solve by the back-end options of authors list display in K2_tools module. I can not figure out what is the order the authors are displayed in the list. Considering my sites it seems a combination of user ID and latest articles by user? Is that correct?
Can we have order options for the list in a future releases?

Hi there
I just apply your requested changes to the module
Do a backup of your /modules/mod_k2_tools folder, then replace it with this one
I hope this people is not going to get mad with me for this :)

hi FT1, thanks a lot for the patch! appreciated. Actually, I should apologize for not being clear. The order I mentioned above was my guess how it is done at the moment.
The order I wish to apply to the authors list is alphabetic order by name, as it is available in standard Joomla articles. It is a convention for names lists, I guess.

Hi

On the original version, the ordering is not specified, that mean, the ordering is stablished by the database paging engine (cronological prior to maintenance of db and by table index after a maintenance run)

In this patch I include the following ordering options:
1. Author Name
2. Item Count (most active items first)
3. Comments Count (most commented first)
4. Ratings Count (most rated first)
5. Ratings Sum (higher rated first)
6. Latest Item (most recent first)

So you can oder your Authors by alphabetical order or by popularity, or just the most recent :)
I'm uploading the mod again since the .rar extention must be a restricted one to download in this community

HEY FT1! YOU ARE GREAT! I just downloaded the zip file. Uploaded the unzipped files and it WORKS! Just marvelous.
Thank you very much! You have put a final touch to the site. Now its perfect. I hope there are many people to benefit from your patch. Good luck and may the force be with you:)

Hi FT1,
I have to ask you one more thing. If you consider it's too much I would of course very well understand you.
Now it's about k2_mod_content. There is this option in the component to select an article as "featured", right?
It would be great to have the possibility the label "featured" displayed in the item title in the mod_content module, not just in the items view. Could you just point a tag i can insert in the helper of the module, I tried inserting different ifs in there, but no success so far.
big big thanks again!

you can't do that, or you can if you can do a mod like the one ft1 did of k2_contents

Christos said:Hello,
Is it possible to explain how to order the articles in k2_tools module by using the item modified date?

thank you in advance

FT1: Thank you so much for this addition. I really needed it for a gift guide site. Thank you. I would love a select box option for the authors list as well.

Is there a module showing most rated items??

This doesn't seem to be working for me. What I really need is author list that would show the top authors with the most articles. I really need such feature. Could anyone help me with that?
