Serendipity Forums

Hi,
Is there a technique or something like a sorting_entries_plugin ?

so far as it is possible, I would like altering the order of the entries on the startpage: only future entries showing up, sorted from recent articles/entries on the top of the page to the farest future down on the page. Articles/Entries, older than today should be moved to the archive.

Hi!

That sounds like you want to use the blog more like an event system?

There is no functionality for this, but one could take the serendipity_event_customsort plugin as a foundation and build your own plugin. But I doubt this will be useful for usual blogging scenarios?

But it's definitely possible, and maybe only 2-3 hours worth of work.

Regards,
Garvin

yes, this time its the website of an art gallery with events, workshops and so on. (http://kunst-raum-volksdorf.de/ (I'm already on it for a while ) I'm also giving courses in painting and drawing there, so I told, that I'm willing to renovate their website - and serendipity is excellent to be operated by people, who never want to see something like html-tags, css, DOM-Levels and nothing of the sort. )
There are many events that will be taking place in the far future. On the other hand it is necessary to show them up, but seeing them on top, is a bit confusing. And I'm only now in the June-dates.

ok, 2-3 hours maybe means a bit more on my level of operating this things, but it's worth trying.... where do I find this plugin? in the spartacus overview spartacus.s9y.org/ I didn't saw it.

thanks again for the outstanding and speedy support in this forum

Hi,
Found! I think you thought of serendipity_event_customarchive - I looked at it and the main functionality seems to be applicable for this case. It is just arguable whether I'm able to apply ....
