Ok, here is a quick fix --

I'm sure there are a few different ways to do it:

but if you click the little IMG icon on the editor, then this will help you.

If you want it to sort chronological after you upload, then you can look in the images.mdu and play around with that area until you figure it out!

here is the little hack for the first one:
in functions.inc.php find:

Code: Select all

<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"window.open('$PHP_SELF?mod=images&area=$insert_location', '_Addimage', 'height=450,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=500');return false;\" target=\"_Addimage\"><img src=".$config_http_script_dir."/skins/images/tags/img.gif border=0 align=middle></a>

and change it to:

Code: Select all

<a href=\"#\" onclick=\"window.open('$PHP_SELF?mod=images&area=$insert_location&sortby=time&start_from=&subfolder=&align=', '_Addimage', 'height=450,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,width=500');return false;\" target=\"_Addimage\"><img src=".$config_http_script_dir."/skins/images/tags/img.gif border=0 align=middle></a>

Let us know if this is what you are looking for?

Hi, ma kore?

Well, open inc/mod/images.mdu

Find:

Code: Select all

<tr><td><?=(($_GET['sortby'] == "time") ? "<a href='".$config_http_script_dir."/index.php?mod=images&area=".$_GET['area']."&sortby=name&start_from=".$_GET['start_from']."&subfolder=".($_POST['subfolder'] ? $_POST['subfolder'] : $_GET['subfolder']).($area ? '&amp;align='.$_GET['align'] : '')."'>".$echo['sortbyName']."</a>" : "<a href='".$config_http_script_dir."/index.php?mod=images&area=".$_GET['area']."&sortby=time&start_from=".$_GET['start_from']."&subfolder=".($_POST['subfolder'] ? $_POST['subfolder'] : $_GET['subfolder']).($area ? '&amp;align='.$_GET['align'] : '')."'>".$echo['sortbyTime']."</a>"); ?></td>
</tr>


Replace With:

Code: Select all

<tr><td><?=((($_GET['sortby'] == "time") || ($_GET['sortby'] == "")) ? "<a href='".$config_http_script_dir."/index.php?mod=images&area=".$_GET['area']."&sortby=name&start_from=".$_GET['start_from']."&subfolder=".($_POST['subfolder'] ? $_POST['subfolder'] : $_GET['subfolder']).($area ? '&amp;align='.$_GET['align'] : '')."'>".$echo['sortbyName']."</a>" : "<a href='".$config_http_script_dir."/index.php?mod=images&area=".$_GET['area']."&sortby=time&start_from=".$_GET['start_from']."&subfolder=".($_POST['subfolder'] ? $_POST['subfolder'] : $_GET['subfolder']).($area ? '&amp;align='.$_GET['align'] : '')."'>".$echo['sortbyTime']."</a>"); ?></td>
</tr>


Then, I havn't checked yet (so if it's not working tell me and I'll check)
Find:

Code: Select all

if (count($files)){
(($_GET['sortby'] == "time") ? arsort($files) : ksort($files));

foreach ($files as $file => $time){
$all_images += filesize($folder.'/'.$file);
}


Replace with:

Code: Select all

if (count($files)){
((($_GET['sortby'] == "time") || ($_GET['sortby'] == "")) ? arsort($files) : ksort($files));

foreach ($files as $file => $time){
$all_images += filesize($folder.'/'.$file);
}


Hope it helps,

Great stuff DARK!

Both of them together work, but the top one won't work unless you do the bottom hack as well.

I am thinking this should be a DEFAULT in the new build of the CMS!

Because, if you upload something, why would you want to sort through it alphabetically rather than chronologically???
(most people would want to get the picture they uploaded right away!!!!)

I like this way better having the chronological be the default and if we want, then click on the sort by alphabetical

__ thoughts ???

No prob
Well, I guess you are right that most people would want it
that way, we can implement it too in our community version
