A couple of comments: first, your support is the best I have seen. Repeat customer for sure, in the future.</p> <p>Second, this is not a complaint, just a comment. Any theme marketed as a "Magazine" format needs to have a built-in capability to reorder posts, as the order of the posts affects the appearance of the site as determined by the sliders and the top-most previews on the Mainpage.</p> <p>While a BLOG template is date-based, a MAGAZINE template has needs that make it layout-based. That flexibility is lacking in Newscast, though you may have advanced capabilities in more recent magazine templates. I don't know, have not spent the time looking, as I had settled on use of Newscast.</p> <p>For page layout within Newscast, I have found that by using a full-width template and dropping in HTML code created in a HTML page layout program (I use Adobe GoLive), the functionality approaches that of a dedicated HTML page editing program.</p> <p>But the sticking point right now is the lack of an easy way of reordering posts, which has a direct effect on appearance of the page.</p> <p>Again thank you. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/post-ordering-base-on-custom-field#post-29857 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:34:01 +0000 Dude 29857@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hey,<br /> because the code affects the query you need to modify archive.php (or create a category template: Just make a copy of archive.php and call it "category.php"). Then you need to insert her code:<br /> <pre><code>global $query_string; query_posts($query_string. &#39;&amp;orderby=meta_value&amp;meta_key=date_value&amp;order=ASC&#39; );</code></pre> <p>after the first:<br /> <pre><code>&lt;?php</code></pre> <p>I can't tell you how (or if) the plugin, etc. works though.</p> <p>To be honest I never tested "drag'n'drop" post order plugins myself but you can try plugins like: <a href="http://wpplugins.com/plugin/817/admin-extender/" rel="nofollow">http://wpplugins.com/plugin/817/admin-extender/</a> (please note I never tested this plugin, I'm not related to the author and we don't support it - it's just a hint). </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/post-ordering-base-on-custom-field#post-29848 Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:24:53 +0000 daveyfifi 29848@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Since I did not start the thread linked below, I cannot change the flag from Not a Support Topic to Unresolved. Could you please look at the last post, a question in the thread? Thank you.</p> <p><a href="http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-a-new-function-for-post-ordering-based-on-custom-field" rel="nofollow">http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-a-new-function-for-post-ordering-based-on-custom-field</a></p> <p>Also are there any of the plugins you can recommend for the same purpose of reordering posts so they display in a different arrangement? </p>
