 Categories Position Problem |
 |
I would like to choose the position of my categories. For example i want the 5th category to be the first in the list and the first to become 5th. Now the listing is based on id's. Is it possible somehow to do that?

You can add an additional row to the categories table with phpmyadmin, call it for example "order". After that you give each category a number according to the desired position.
Then you open inc/functions.inc.php and change this (about line 643):
 | | foreach ($sql->select(array('table' => 'categories', 'where' => array("parent = $id"), 'orderby' => array('id', 'ASC'))) as $row){ |
to this:
| | foreach ($sql->select(array('table' => 'categories', 'where' => array("parent = $id"), 'orderby' => array('order', 'ASC'))) as $row){ |
So the categories should show by "order" instead of "id".

Either you modify categories.mdu or you need a plugin.
