Order By Votes
Version: 0.2
Author: Nick Ramsay
Created on: 2010/03/24
Last Updated: 2010/06/04
Tested on: 1.3.0 ~ 1.4.1
Plugins Required: Bookmarking
Plug & Play: Yes
Supported: Yes

Description
A simple plugin to change the default sorting order of the index page to "most votes" instead of "date".

Instructions
1. Upload the "order_by_votes" folder to your plugins folder.
2. Install it from Plugin Management in Admin.

Note
This plugin sorts by "post_votes_up" only, so it's suitable for sites using the Vote (http://hotarucms.org/showthread.php?78-Vote-1.4) plugin, but not the Up Down Voting (http://hotarucms.org/showthread.php?485-Up-Down-Voting-0.2) plugin.

The Code
This plugin is so basic, I thought I'd share the code with you! :cool:

class OrderByVotes
{
/**
* Override the default sort filters for the front page
*/
public function bookmarking_functions_preparelist($h)
{
if ($h->pageName != 'popular') { return false; }

$h->vars['orderby'] = 'post_votes_up DESC, post_date DESC';
}
}Revision History
v.0.2 2010/05/28 - Nick - Updated for compatibility with the Bookmarking plugin
v.0.1 2010/03/24 - Nick - Released first version

Nick, i am getting this error when trying to install this pluging

uh-oh, file '/home/content/plugins/order-by-votes/order-by-votes.php' not found in class.metadata.php

[Nick]

The plugin's folder name should be order_by_votes and the file order_by_votes.php, i.e. with underscores.

/content/plugins/order_by_votes/order_by_votes.php

Hi Nick,

This plugin is not working for me. Is it broken in 1.4.1? I am using the normal vote plugin. I cleared the cache, but a post with Zero votes is still above one with 2. Any ideas?

[Nick]

I've just tested it on 1.4.1 and it works. Are you sure you're looking at the "popular" page?

Hi Nick,

I had set the default as "all" in bookmarks plugin. I have a site where people will vote on something. Not much will be added beyond what me as admin has added. So upcoming and latest are really not needed for me (working on figuring how to remove those). I will just set all to "top" and it will work.

Hi,

Is it a possibility to get same function with Up Down Voting? My site is a Contest site using Up Down voting.

Thank you
