GalleryAlbum - Sort on MenuIndex

Hi All,

I'm looking to use the GalleryAlbum "sort" parameter to sort my albums in the same order as they are sorted in the back-end, so user's can drag-and-drop albums into whatever order they would like, and then that order be reflected on the front-end.

The default is "createdon", so I assumed this meant all of the normal fields were available to sort on. I tried "menuindex", thinking it would be the same as resources, but that causes all albums to disappear.

Does anyone know how to get albums to display on the front-end the same as on the back-end?

Let me know!

Hi,

In Gallery–speak, this is actually called the ‘rank’ (from what I can determine) but I’ve been unable to sort it based on this.

I created an issue on Github to this effect: https://github.com/splittingred/Gallery/issues/198

You should add a +1 to the issue there

oksushi,

you are correct on the field being named 'rank' (rather than 'menuindex' for resources).

and there is definitely a bug with drag/drop sorting, but this fixes it for the time being:

Remove urldecode() on line 19 of core/components/gallery/processors/mgr/album/sort.class.php so it reads:

No longer working for us under v1.5.2 and Revo 2.2.5-pl. Have updated the Github comments on that issue.

Anyone else still having image sort issues under 2.2.6 and Gallery 1.5.2?

In case anyone else is still having this issue, it seems that reinstalling getResources has fixed the issue for us.
