Hi,

Is it possible to order the K2 tags for items alphabetically in category layout and item view layout?

Many thanks

Prit

Hi,

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Prit

Bump! :kiss:

Anyone? :unsure:

Hello,

The tags are rendered by default in the order the user enters them.
You need to override the appropriate template files (ie. category_item.php and item.php) and sort the array of the tags using PHP.

I hope this wont count as gravedigging - I just want to help persons with that problem since I had it, too.

This here is the original code in the item.php:
Replace it with this:
It works for me and I hope I could help some people ...

This is useful Drazen.
Thank you :)

Hi
I just updated to K 2.8
For the ordering by Tags name alphabetically, before I used this hint :

---

in administrator/components/com_k2/models/item.php line 757 :
if (!is_null($itemID))
$query .= " WHERE tags.id NOT IN (SELECT tagID FROM #__k2_tags_xref WHERE itemID={$itemID})";
$db->setQuery($query);

I used to change it to:

if (!is_null($itemID))
$query .= " WHERE tags.id NOT IN (SELECT tagID FROM #__k2_tags_xref WHERE itemID={$itemID}) ORDER BY tags.name";
$db->setQuery($query);

added: ORDER BY tags.name

---

But this doesn't seem to work anymore.

Could you please tell me where is the "item.php" file I need to change and to put the changes proposed by Razen ?
Or if there is another trick to order the tags alphabetically ?

Thanks

I run on k2 2.8 and the hint still works.

The original file is here if I'm right:
/components/com_k2/templates/default/item.php

But I highly recommend to copy it to your joomla template if you update the file:
/templates/[YourTemplate]/html/com_k2/default/item.php

More on overrides can be found here:
getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

Although if you want to order the tag LISTINGS, then you need to edit K2's options -> jmp.sh/tsT5RTB

Thanks a lot Razen! Saved my life ;-)

Hi,
Sorry to insist on this post.
I understand Razen and Catherine made it work, but I can't.
I am probably missing something, but whatever item.php file I modify (in template/html/... or even in administrator/component/...) with Razen's method, the tags when I add (or edit) a k2 item never order in alphabetical order !
Could you please help again ?
Thanks

Where do you want to modify the sorting of the tags?

I would recommend that you first identify the right template with an X somwhere in the file temporary untill you found it - cause youÄre simply in the wrong file yet (as far as I can see).

For the frontend, there should be a file in the template you use - if it doesnt exist, create it:
templates/[yourtemplate]/com_k2/default/item.php

Hi Razen,
Thanks for your response.
I will try, but so far I changed it where yoy say.
Where I want to sort the Tags is when I create (or edit) a K2 item in the back-end (or front-end) in the left box tags (I think by default thy are sorted out by # of IDs).
For this, should the changes be in templates/[yourtemplate]/com_k2/default/item.php ? or in an itemform.php ?
Thanks
Christophe

I never looked into this, but I'm quite sure the file for this is in administrator/components/com_k2 or so.

And I also think that my method wont work for those backend-tags, cause those are no simple links

It depends on which tags you want to sort.
The code here is for the item.php file which should be overriden.
