HI

 

Recently I added a link to my menu to a blog - K2> item listings> User page (blog).

I created the user, wrote some K2 articles/items and published them under a category entitled 'in the press'.

Everything is working the way it should be. I've even included a module on the side that archives the older items.

 

My problem is when I go to the user page/link the articles that are displayed there are in reverse order, oldest to newest. I have tried adjusting the settings in the category parameters but nothing happens.

 

How can I order the articles/items?

 

Is this a bug with the 'User page (blog)' listing in K2? I have seen solutions online which suggest to link to a K2 category instead, but then what is the User page (blog) good for? Why can't I order these items in User page mode?

 

 

Can you tell me Derek where did you find those solutions online? I browsed around but only found this thread.

I got some of those steps from here:

 

community.getk2.org/forum/topics/how-can-i-create-blog-pages-in

 

and some of it from here:

 

www.alledia.com/blog/joomla-tutorials/k2-the-missing-documentation-part-2/

 

 

 

thats exactly my problem...

 

I have some users that have items in different categories, and in the blog view those items appear in the ID order.

the website is new and those articles were inserted in a random order and now i cant order them by creation date or item order ...

 

I am glad that I am NOT the only person who is having this problem. Are there any solutions out there?

Put K2 content module in position under that menu link. There you have user items order. For your visitors it will appear as same thing.

Hey m8s,

i finnaly made a work around for this problem check it out.

it's simple and quick to do it, but you have to insert a line of code into a file thou.

 

link for the work around here

 

Thanks Carlos. This seems to be the answer. I'll give it a try and report back.

what code in what file? Thanks.

Even with a menu item for that user, I can not get it to display in any other order than the item ID.

Hello Jeff, is this related to the other post?

Yes and I have been able to set up a hidden menu item for a specific author to set the sort order to date.

I still need a solution for a global setting of all searches by date.

I can provide a temp hack in the itemlist model. (components/com_k2/models/itemlist.php)

Line 351:should look like this:
This will set the default ordering to chronological ordering.

THANKS! That works.

You 're welcome Jeff :)
