Glad it’s in the works, Barry. Do yo have an ETA on the full fix? Unfortunately no time right now to do the temp fix.
Thanks for taking the time, Brook.
I may have solved it. Referencing the WordPress Codex here http://codex.wordpress.org/Alphabetizing_Posts and adapting, I modified the code to call the is_category instead. It now looks like this:
// TO ALPHABETIZE THE POSTS
function mw_change_post_order(){
if ( is_category() ){
global $wp_query;
$args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array( ‘orderby’ => ‘title’,’order’ => ‘ASC’ ) );
query_posts( $args );
}
}
add_action(‘genesis_before_loop’,’mw_change_post_order’);And it seems to work; the events are back to being listed chronologically and the regular posts alphabetically.
I’m not experienced enough to know why or how this works better than the previous function. (So if you see something above that makes you cringe, please tell me.)
FWIW, I tried to figure out where I got the original, wrong, code to begin with, as again I’m not experienced enough to have invented it completely on my own. I must have cobbled it together from somewhere, but beats me where.Thanks!
Thanks, Kelly. Sadly, no, the new code doesn’t seem to change anything.
Is there a way to exclude the events category archive from the function?Thanks, Kelly. Function copied below. The strangest thing is that it all worked fine until I upgraded to 3.3. The function must need some adjustment, which I’m hoping someone can help with:
// TO ALPHABETIZE THE POSTS
function mw_change_post_order(){
if ( is_archive ){
global $wp_query;
$args = array_merge( $wp_query->query, array( ‘orderby’ => ‘title’,’order’ => ‘ASC’ ) );
query_posts( $args );
}
}
add_action(‘genesis_before_loop’,’mw_change_post_order’);Thanks, Barry. You might be onto something here. I changed it to Default Events Template and presto it seems to work. The individual event now seems to work also.
The only challenge is that I’d prefer having the sidebar there, which the default events template doesn’t have. Is there an easy-ish way to address that?
Thanks, Barry.
I changed it back to plain Genesis, and everything appeared fine. So it seems it’s Dynamik. I added the suggested code into Dynamik’s functions, and no change.The output isn’t garbled so much as it’s just showing the body of the post, and not showing the meta (? if that’s the correct term) of the event, such as date, venue, etc.
Any ideas? Many thanks.
Thanks, Rob. Given the approaching deadline for this site, I will probably go with what I know and use TablePress for now. But yes, looking forward to the beta conference manager.
And now that I think of it, more importantly, is there a way to have the full post show within the category listing view? That way any URL links in the body of the post would be live in the Category view.
Thanks, Rob. It sounds a bit complicated, but I will take a look. My gut says maybe for this go around I can get away with agendas in the TablePress plugin, given that the site is already a little behind schedule. I sold the redesign based on responsive, and not on an events management system, so that might have to suffice for now.
Yes, I think there would be a definite market of a Conference manager plugin. I’ll be first in line.
Thanks, Barry.
The site I’m working on where the event tags are important will likely launch within the next week or two. (It’s been a moving target for awhile now, so that could change.) The tags aren’t a dealbreaker, but it would be nice to launch with them. So when you know an approximate ETA, let me know, and I’ll plan accordingly.
