[Solved] CGBlog: change default entries order in Admin

[henris17]

Hello,

Is there a way to change the default order of the entries in content>blog-module>entries ?

Actually (on cgblog 1.9.11) in admin the articles are sorting alphabetically on title and a page sorting on reverse post-date. I would really prefer to see (like it was on cgblog 1. all the articles in reverse post date order (from last to first).

I know we can now click on the columns to get that, but it would be simpler to have it as default. How can I do that ?

Cheers

Create a temple in module_custom that displays the list as you want to see it in the admin section.

n.

Sorry, it does not make much sense to me (i am rather a beginner in programming) , where is module_custom located ?
I assume that "temple" is a template, which change should I do / based on which existing template ? Isn't there any settings to change this from the back-office side ?

It's late and I'm a bit tired so my typing is not up to scratch. Yes, I meant template.

module_custom is a directory you create to override the default admin files. See http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/customizi ... -templates for more info.

You need to find the module template you want to change, copy it to module_custom including the identical file path then make your changes.

Thank you,

Yes this is what I did and it is not working, selecting the post date descending is not rearranging the articles correctly. I think there might be a bug in the latest CGBlog version as it was working OK with previous versions. I use PHP 5.2 (maybe this might be the cause

You mean the order of articles in the admin bloglist?
It is ordered by blog title now instead of postdate...

I mentioned this to Calguy1000 a few days ago. As far as I know he changed it in the SVN, so will be shipped in next release.

In CGBlog 1.9.12 fixed!

Hi all,

Hate to dredge this up, but I'm having this issue in CGBlog 1.10.3 running version 1.11.9 - my articles appear to be sorted randomly, but what's strange is when the CGBlog admin page first loads, the articles are sorted correctly for a brief moment before becoming jumbled. SO much so that the alternating rows are highlighted grey, but then they rearrange and the highlights are all over the place. I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean - any assistance or pointers would be greatly appreciated!

Also FYI, I'm having this error on one CMSMS site but not another one with the same configuration, so I'm a bit stuck!

EDIT: Sort order on the front end works perfectly.

Update - after trying to set times using multiple methods (htaccess, php.ini and more), it appears changing the date format string in user preferences did the trick (changing from %x %X as it had been before to %m/%d/%Y).
