Only Layout issues, examples and ideas / Re: Sort order icon missing in subheader box

« Last post by HerKle on 17.02.2021 18:42:48 »

To complete, if others face the same problem: after adding that classes mentioned earlier, I use them now in jdownloads_custom.css as follows:

Code: [Select]

.jd-list-ordering.asc.ordering a::after,
.jd-list-title.asc.title a::after,
.jd-list-date.asc.created a::after {
content: "\ea4c";
font-family: icomoon;
margin-left: .3em;
}
.jd-list-ordering.desc.ordering a::after,
.jd-list-title.desc.title a::after,
.jd-list-date.desc.created a::after {
content: "\ea4d";
font-family: icomoon;
margin-left: .3em;
}
with satisfying result.

Maybe that this could be done more elegant directly in the responsible javascript function – but I was not able to find it. The string »onclick="Joomla.tableOrdering« of the generated html output couldn't be found in entire jd component. So for me the case is solved.

The box itself is shown ok – only that icon is missing (tiny black triangle). But when looking deeper into it I found in com_jdownloads/views/category/html/default.php the misleading text in line 334:

Code: [Select]

// Display sort order bar for the Downloads from the current category when it is an old category layout (< 3.9) in my template override. Simply don't believe the last part of this information. So I found at least the places and added the vars listDirn and listOrder to the classes of the span tags, which will allow me to add the desired Icons via CSS. :-), as eg. in sort field "title":

Code: [Select]

$title    = '<span class="jd-list-title '.$listDirn.' '.$listOrder.'" id="ordering2">'.JHtml::_('grid.sort', JText::_('COM_JDOWNLOADS_FE_SORT_ORDER_NAME'), 'title', $listDirn, $listOrder).' | </span>';
.

Thx!

Hi
Are you refering to Standard Subcategories Layout 3.9 (which may show the sort order box) or to Standard Category Layout 3.9 (Which does not show the sort order box)

Not all layouts support the sort order box.  It is only shown when Downloads are shown on the same page as the sorting applies to the Downloads not to any subcats of the category

Only Layout issues, examples and ideas / Sort order icon missing in subheader box

Hi,

in the tutorial for frontend options the sort box is shown with an icon indicating the current status of which field is sorted and into which direction (asc/desc).

I am using jd category layout default 3.9 and in my frontend view there is no icon at all.

How or where can I fix this? Thx!

All sorted now Colin, you pointed me in the right direction and the rest was fairly straightforward. Even worked out how to change all the zip.png icons to gpx.png icons with an SQL query.

Suggestions - Feature Request / Category listbox in header

« Last post by HerKle on 17.02.2021 15:02:49 »

Hi,
in the options' tab "images and buttons" I can define the parameters for how long downloads are counted as new/updated and from how many hits they are counted as "hot".

When adding the options (in tab "Frontend") "show latest" and/or "show hottest" downloads to the category listbox, all downloads are listed ordered by publ.date, resp. hits descending.

I suggest to use the defined parameters of "images and buttons" to limit the latest/hottest downloads list to only these which are matched by those parameters.
Thx!

jDownloads 3.9 / Re: Need to be logged in to download

HiSounds to me that you have either not set the permissions on the Categories or more likely you have set view access to Registered or something other than Public.
You can check the access level  by clicking on Categories in backend.  If they are not set to Public then the easiest way to change is to use the Batch facility setting it to no for move or copy and the setting the required Access level
Please let me know

When you update you also need to set the "Has it been 'Updated' " field to yes to distinguish between an update and a minor correction to say the description.

Wow! Never scrolled that far down to notice this button. Maybe it would be better located in the tab "publishing details", where all the date' data are located. But thx, I could now check the layout of "updated" button as well.

Yes a good idea to add to the suggestions

I will do so.

And: btw: the button "updated" never appears in the download files list, no matter if I updated a file seconds ago.

When you update you also need to set the "Has it been 'Updated' " field to yes to distinguish between an update and a minor correction to say the description.  This has been in jD since inception  - but maybe it could be reviewed as we have had several enquiries like yours.  Maybe 'invert' the setting so you mark when it is not an update.  Will see what is involved coding wise.  Have added a Suggestion in my name for this.

in the options I can define the limits for number of days to evaluate a download as new, the number of hits to define a download as "hot" etc. So why not use these data in cat-listbox as parameters? Maybe I should formulate this under "Suggestion"?
