Add Category Sort By - How to change?

[The Wizard]

Hello:

When adding a category, and you come to the Sort By select box the default option is "Date". Is there a quick way to change the code to make "Title" the default? You might want to think about adding this as a option in the admin settings. The reason I want to set the default to title is that all my images are by number and I want them to show up this way.

Thanks

You would need to modify the themes/default/gallery.template.php and search for the addcategory function and in there make the date option in the html set to selected="selected"

Hello:

I think I found the right code -

Code: [Select]

foreach ($context['gallery_cat'] as $i => $category)

echo '<option value="' . $category['id_cat']  . '" ' . (($parent == $category['id_cat']) ? ' selected="selected"' : '') .'>' . $category['title'] . '</option>';

So how would I change it correctly?

Not the right code

It would be this code on the addcategory page if you want something selected by default when adding a categoyr

Around line 498 in themes/defaut/gallery2.template.php

Code: [Select]

<tr>
<td width="28%" class="windowbg2" align="right"><span class="gen"><b>' .   $txt['gallery_txt_sortby']  . '</b>&nbsp;</span></td>
<td width="72%" class="windowbg2"><select name="sortby">
<option value="date">',$txt['gallery_txt_sort_date'],'</option>
<option value="title">',$txt['gallery_txt_sort_title'],'</option>
<option value="mostview">',$txt['gallery_txt_sort_mostviewed'],'</option>
<option value="mostcom">',$txt['gallery_txt_sort_mostcomments'],'</option>
<option value="mostrated">',$txt['gallery_txt_sort_mostrated'],'</option>
</select>
</td>
</tr>

Hello:

This is what I was looking for and thought the "selected=select" was a little odd.

I have gotten this to work (see below), but I hit a odd problem - If I add another exact line

Code: [Select]

<option value="title">',$txt['gallery_txt_sort_title'],'</option> everything works - but if I take out the second

Code: [Select]

<option value="title">',$txt['gallery_txt_sort_title'],'</option> I get a nasty error something about line one. Also if I just try and switch the two lines I get the same error. Is this some kind of security? or does something else need to be change? - just wondering as I like a neat code.

</select>

Well in that code you don't want to have two options with the same value that might cause issues so you would need to take out one of the lines.
