Trying to sort LISE items by creation date but nothing changes whatever I do.

{LISEDownloads action='category' category='example1,example2' show_items=1 orderby='item_created|DESC'}

Is there something I’m missing?

As it's using the category array and not the item array, I don't think you can achieve this using parameters in a single module call. You could probably add a summary call to each category in the category template and apply the sorting there.

So your category template would be something like:

Code: Select all

<!-- categories -->
<ul>
{foreach from=$categories item=category}
  <li class="category-{$category->alias}">
    <a class="category-name" href="{$category->url}">{$category->name} ({$category->items|count})</a>
    {if $category->items|count > 0}
    <ul>
      {LISEtest category=$category->alias orderby='item_created|DESC' template_summary='list'}
    </ul>
    {/if}
  </li>
{/foreach}
<ul>
<!-- categories //-->

with the module call being:

Code: Select all

{LISEtest action='category'}

Then create a summary template something like:

Code: Select all

{if $items|@count > 0}
  {foreach from=$items item=item}
    <li>{$item->title}</li>
  {/foreach}
{/if}

Oh man, that’s more complicated than I expected. So, my category template looks like this:

Code: Select all

<!-- categories -->
<div class="downloads">
{foreach $categories as $category}
	{*$category|@print_r*}
	<!-- start loop{$category@iteration} -->
	{if $category->depth == 1}
		{if $category->prevdepth > 1 && $category@iteration != 1}
		</ul>
	</div>
	<!-- end category -->
		{/if}
	<div class="kategorie depth{$category->depth} prevdepth{$category->prevdepth}" id="{$category->alias}">
		<h3>{$category->menutext}</h3>
		{if $category@last}
		<div class="mitteilung hinweis">Momentan gibt es nichts zum Herunterladen.</div>
	</div>
			{continue}
		{/if}
		<ul>
	{else}
		<li class="depth{$category->depth} prevdepth{$category->prevdepth}">
		{if !empty($category->datei)}<a href="{uploads_url}/downloads/{$category->datei}">{/if}
			{$ext=$category->datei|pathinfo:$smarty.const.PATHINFO_EXTENSION|lower}
			{if $ext == 'jpg' || $ext == 'jpeg' || $ext == 'png' || $ext == 'gif' || $ext == 'tif' || $ext == 'tiff'}
				{CGSmartImage src="{uploads_url}/downloads/{$category->datei}" filter_resize="w,150" quality="86"}
			{/if}
			{$category->menutext}
		{if !empty($category->datei)}</a>{/if}
		{if !empty($category->beschreibung)}<div class="beschreibung">{$category->beschreibung}</div>{/if}
		{if !empty($category->datum)}<div class="datum">{$category->datum}</div>{/if}
		</li>
		{if $category@last}
			</ul>
		</div>
		<!-- last -->
		{/if}
	{/if}
<!-- end -->
{/foreach}
</div>
<!-- categories //-->

and this is what it looks like in reality:

(the two columns are two separate module calls; the important one is the one in the left column which calls several categories)

I’ve also defined a few custom fields. Basically what I need is sorting by date (specified in custom field) in descending order.

I don't think it's as complicated as you might think. Just don't use show_items in the module tag, and add a module call (with default action, category, and your sort parameter) into your category template where you want to show items.

Thanks, it’s not quite as I hoped to achieve it but it works nicely.
