Cataloger order products by hierarchy [solved]

Post by douglas1438 »

Hi all,

Using the cataloger module to display manufacturers and their brands, all working well except one little glitch. On my manufactures page I want to list their products in hierarchy order but they're being listed alphabetically. As always any advice much appreciated.

Code: Select all

{section name=numloop loop=$items}
<div class="row-fluid manufacturerbrands">
<div class="span3 brandphoto"><a href="{$items[numloop].link}"><img src="uploads/images/catalog_src/{$items[numloop].alias}_src_1.jpg" width="100%" height="auto"></a></div>
<div class="span9 brandtitle"><h4><a href="{$items[numloop].link}">{$items[numloop].brand_name}</a></h4>
{$items[numloop].characteristics|truncate:250} <br><a href="{$items[numloop].link}">Read more &raquo;</a>
</div>
</div>
{/section}
Thanks,
Chris

On the "Options" tab of the Category page make sure you have "Item sort order to" to "Navigation Order" or, alternatively, on the "Global Catalog Operations" settings page set "Set item sort order to" to "Navigation Order". While the first affects only that specific category page the second will override all pages IIRC.

Brilliant, thank you Jo.

So obvious, thought it would require coding.
