Hi,
When I insert an image in a news story, it would be nice if the images I can choose from the ImageManager are sorted on name istead of ID# Can this be done and where/what should I change?

I found it already. I had to change the image.php file in the kernel directory. Now my images are sorted on image_nicename instead of image_id.

Unfortunately, since I use Chapi News Wysiwyg Patch (see more info here), this sorting is not working in the news module.

The following code is used to list the pictures, but I do not know what to add/edit to have the images sorted on image_nicename. Can someone help me with this.

$result = $xoopsDB->query("SELECT imgcat_name, imgcat_id, imgcat_storetype FROM ".$xoopsDB->prefix(imagecategory)." ORDER BY imgcat_name ASC");
$i=0;

while($imgcat = $xoopsDB->fetcharray($result)){

$spaw_imglibs[$i]["value"] = 'uploads/';
$spaw_imglibs[$i]["text"] = $imgcat["imgcat_name"];
$spaw_imglibs[$i]["catID"] = $imgcat["imgcat_id"];
$spaw_imglibs[$i]["storetype"] = $imgcat["imgcat_storetype"];
$spaw_imglibs[$i]["autoID"] = $i;

$i++;
}

in kernel/image.php

around the line 214 you can see:



ok, now modify the line like this:




that's all

I am interested in this topic, a few months ago i had created a new category for news images in the image manager, it was fine any new images uploaded where being displayed at the top (page 1) so it was easy to find newly uploaded images, all of a sudden though new uploaded images are being put into page 4 or 5 ( round about the middle) which means i have to go throuhg a few pages to find images.

I have alot of images so i dont bother with adding weight to uploaded images, is there a change to the code so I could make uploaded images sort by upload date i.e so new images are at the top of page 1.

Thanks.

Finaly it's works
