sorting tlds mod

[durangod]

I added a bunch of tlds and i wanted to sort them low to high which if i did that as a string it would be the same as doing it alphabetically.

 

so far i have just done this via the new registered domain page, but i do plan to add it to other areas where i need it.

 

so here is the mod...

 

first create a new file called modifier.sorttld.php

 

inside the file you will have this...

 

<?php
/*
**************************************************************************************
* This file is used as a generic sort utility modifier for smarty. You can change the
* sort type if you want, i use this now to only sort my tld's and that is all
* by dave at www.icodemods.com
**************************************************************************************
*/


 /*
  ************************************************************************ 
  @input is an array
  @output is a sorted array by string low to high
  @usage example {foreach key=num item=listtld from=$tlds|@sorttld}
  asort Documentation is here http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php
  Alternate sort options are here http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php
  ************************************************************************
  */


   function smarty_modifier_sorttld($array) 
   {
   asort($array, SORT_STRING);
   return $array;   
   }

$smarty->register_modifier( "sorttld", "smarty_modifier_sorttld" );   

?>

 

place that file in includes/classes/Smarty/plugins

 

then when you want to sort tlds low to high such as i did in templates/orderforms/comparison/adddomain.tpl

 

all you have to do is this:

 

original code:

 

{foreach key=num item=listtld from=$tlds}

 

Change it to this:

 

{foreach key=num item=listtld from=$tlds|@sorttld}

 

 

easy peasy.... hope this helps...

i just happen to think there are also three places in comparison/configurproductdomain.tpl also

 

if they click on a hosting package they will get that page. also the last option on that page does not have a tld, it is blank and allowed them to type it in for existing domain...

 

 

{foreach key=num item=incartdomain from=$incartdomains|@sorttld}
<option value="{$incartdomain}">{$incartdomain}</option>
{/foreach}

{foreach key=num item=listtld from=$registertlds|@sorttld}
<option value="{$listtld}"{if $listtld eq $tld} selected="selected"{/if}>{$listtld}</option>
{/foreach}

{foreach key=num item=listtld from=$transfertlds|@sorttld}
<option value="{$listtld}"{if $listtld eq $tld} selected="selected"{/if}>{$listtld}</option>
{/foreach}

Ok folks regarding the domainchecker sort, its a bit different because you actually have to grab the element and sort it by element of the array. referring to domainchecker.tpl

 

I am using portal and it has an upper page (domain) and a lower page (domain by prices)

 

This part of the sort mod is just for the lower part of the page. Because i can get the upper part to sort but it has a row meter of 5 per line and whenever i sort it it totally tosses off the rows so they are all over the place. So i will need to figure that out and possibly redo that section and then i will share that here with you..

 

BUT FOR THE LOWER PART ONLY (DOMAIN PRICING) HERE WE GO

 

 

create a new php file and call it modifier.sortelem.php

 

inside that file put this..

 

<?php

/*
**************************************************************************************
* This file is used as a sorty by element utility modifier for smarty. You can change the
* sort type if you want, i use this now to only sort my tld's and that is all
* by dave at www.icodemods.com
**************************************************************************************
*/

 /*
  ******************************************************************************* 
  @input is an array + element
  @output is a sorted array by string low to high by element keeping key assoc
  @usage example {foreach key=num item=tldpricelist from=$tldpricelist|@sortelem:tld}
  asort Documentation is here http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.asort.php
  Alternate sort options are here http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sort.php
  ********************************************************************************
  */


function smarty_modifier_sortelem($arr,$elem) 
{
 if(!$elem)
 {
 return $arr;  //if no elem value just return the original array
  }else{

 foreach($arr as $key=>$value) 
        {
  $b[$key] = strtolower($value[$elem]);  //results are just the tld elements in an array
 }


 asort($b, SORT_STRING);  //now it is sorted low to high by tld which equates to alphabetical 

 foreach($b as $tldkey=>$tldvalue) 
        {
 $c[] = $arr[$tldkey];
 }

         //now we have a new array $c that has all the original elements but is sorted by $elem value

        return $c;

     }//close else
}//close function


$smarty->register_modifier( "sortelem", "smarty_modifier_sortelem" );   

?>

 

put this file in includes/classes/Smarty/plugins

 

 

then open up portal/domainchecker.tpl

 

and scroll down near the bottom

 

original code is:

 

{foreach key=num item=tldpricelist from=$tldpricelist}

 

change it to this:

 

{foreach key=num item=tldpricelist from=$tldpricelist|@sortelem:tld}

 

save the file and run the page... the bottom portion is now sorted by tld.

 

enjoy... when i get the upper part of the page row issue figured out i will be back to update...

[durangod]

the problem with the top portion of the page for domain checker is because the rows are done by $num which is the element KEY number which is nuts to do it that way.. sorry WHMCS thats a huge fail, i have never seen a listing done from element KEY number, its always done from a loop counter. I need some rest i will work on this when i get up..

 

Here is the code

 

<tr>         
       {foreach key=num item=listtld from=$tldslist}        
       <td align="left">
       <input type="checkbox" name="tlds[]" value="{$listtld}"{if in_array($listtld,$tlds)} checked{/if}/>
       {$listtld}
       </td>
       {if $num % 5 == 0}</tr><tr>{/if}
       {/foreach}
    </tr>

 

its not a bug per say but it sure is not done in a standardized way.. you should never ever use element KEY number as a counter... use an $i loop or i belive smarty uses interation or actual {counter} ok i need rest...

here is the fix for the sort for the upper part of the domain checker. I had to report it because i think it really need to be fixed globally.

 

http://forum.whmcs.com/showthread.php?90110-Using-array-key-as-loop-counter-bad-idea&p=379506#post379506

 

the example code that is correct is how you want to do the upper part of the domain checker..

[othellotech]

why do it everytime through smarty, when you could just use the sort order in the domainpricing table - script sorting those how you want and job done

[durangod]

because i wanted to share it and not everyone knows how to manipulate table data.
