article order

Before I start to hack the code :-), let me ask a thing:

is there some plugin which extends the possibilities of dealing with articles by allowing to set the position of the article inside some section.

My users would like to be able to sort articles by predefined positioned instead of sorting by date and adding number manually ("4. Title of the article") is not a good solution.

Not that I know of.

Can you explain what you are trying to do? I don't understand "sort by predefined position" :slight_smile:

To set some article to have position 6, another article to have position 8, etc. and the system automatically manages the relations. If I change the position of the article from 8 to 7, the article with position 7 automatically falls to 8.

No. Nothing like that, I think. Though I do remember seeing a discussion some time back about creating a more flexible sorting system. On our site we create numbers with spaces of 10 or 20 between each number: 10, 20, 30, 40 ... that way you insert a new article where you want to.

Can't you simply order your articles with the publication date ?
I use this on some site : changing the publication date (in the past)
enables me to change the order of appearence.

Too late to be replying to this, but I use [(#TITRE|supprimer_numero)] and then the numbers don’t show in the titles.

I am also using that, but the problem is when you have to insert a new article between exeisting articles.

5. Article
6. Article

and you want to insert an article into position 6. Existing article #6 and all articles below it should increase its number (6 -> 7, 7-> 8...)

Marko

That is why you should choose another number system such as: 10, 20, 30, etc,
