Is she still putting this code into the functions.php file? What does she mean by "just before the loop"? Can you be specific where this code goes, thanks. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-a-new-function-for-post-ordering-based-on-custom-field#post-8925 Mon, 15 Nov 2010 07:24:43 +0000 Dude 8925@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Thanks Helen for sharing your code here. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-a-new-function-for-post-ordering-based-on-custom-field#post-8908 Sun, 14 Nov 2010 19:54:07 +0000 Helen Williams 8908@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi,<br /> I actually did in a completely different way.<br /> 1. I created a post emaplte for the category I was working on.<br /> 2. I installed the plugin 'Date Field' <a href="http://matth.eu/wordpress-date-field-plugin" rel="nofollow">http://matth.eu/wordpress-date-field-plugin</a>. This enables a custom field to be created for your post with a date/time format.<br /> 3. Just before the loop I placed </p> <p> global $query_string;<br /> query_posts($query_string. '&amp;orderby=meta_value&amp;meta_key=date_value&amp;order=ASC' ); </p> <p>Hope this helps someone. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-a-new-function-for-post-ordering-based-on-custom-field#post-8575 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 08:02:35 +0000 Dude 8575@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>It seems that the link above doesn't work anymore... :-( </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-a-new-function-for-post-ordering-based-on-custom-field#post-8565 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 23:19:50 +0000 StaleLunch 8565@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I would love to know what Helen put in her functions.php file to get the posts to reorder by a date in the custom fields panel. </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-a-new-function-for-post-ordering-based-on-custom-field#post-7500 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 09:33:18 +0000 Dude 7500@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>You can copy and paste your code in every file you like - you can even create a new php file but don't forget to include it. I prefer to paste custom functions and filters into functions.php but you can also use lots_of_small_helpers.php </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/adding-a-new-function-for-post-ordering-based-on-custom-field#post-7499 Sun, 24 Oct 2010 09:26:07 +0000 Helen Williams 7499@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I have added a new function into lots_of_small_helpers.php. It basically checks which category the post is in and if it is in a particular one it orders them by customer field (thank you to <a href="http://esdev.net/sort-events-by-date-in-wordpress-using-custom-fields/)" rel="nofollow">http://esdev.net/sort-events-by-date-in-wordpress-using-custom-fields/)</a>.<br /> I would like to verify that within the Newscast theme it is ok to place it in that lots_of_small_helpers.php or should I place it in the functions.php.<br /> Many thanks </p>
