Sort Saved elements in page builder by name ASC/DESC

[gircat]

Hello,

I am trying to sort the saved elements in the page builder. I’m quite sure this must be done in the file “layouts” (cardinal/swift-framework/page-builder/inc). Most probably in line 165:

class SPBElementsMenu implements SPBTemplateInterface {
protected $params = Array();

public function setup( $params ) {
$this->params = (array) $params;

return $this;
}

public function output( $post = null ) {
if ( empty( $this->params ) ) {
return ”;
}
$output = ‘<li class=”nav-header”>’ . __( ‘Load Element’, ‘swift-framework-admin’ ) . ‘‘;
$is_empty = true;
foreach ( $this->params as $id => $element ) {
if ( is_array( $element ) ) {
$element_button = new SPBSavedElementsMenuButton();
$output .= $element_button->setup( $element )->setID( $id )->output();
$is_empty = false;
}
}
if ( $is_empty ) {
$output .= ‘<li class=”spb_no_elements”><span>’ . __( ‘You have not saved any elements yet.’, ‘swift-framework-admin’ ) . ‘</span>‘;
}

return $output;
}
}

But somehow I can’t manage to sort the array as the usual wordpress manner:
( array ( ‘orderby’ => ‘title’, ‘order’ => ‘DESC’ ) );

Also, if possible, I would like to know how to group the items by some Html tags as titles, hr, etc.

Thanks a lot,
Ricard

Hi,

You should look in the class SPBElements_r and adapt the function getElementsList() to modify the array of elements and return it with your desired order.

The loop is build in cardinal\swift-framework\page-builder\inc\layouts.php around line 332

Hello,

Thanks for your hint. I’ve been trying many things without success. Please can you show me the way to sort it by noame/title? So far I’ve been trying things like these, trying with “name” or “title” for the “orderby”:

Your help will be much appreciated.
Cheers,
R.

 class SPBElements_r extends SFPageBuilderAbstract {

        protected $elements = Array( 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'DESC' );

        public function getMenu() {
            $elements_menu = new SPBElementsMenu();

            return $elements_menu->setup( $this->getElementsList() )->output();
        }

        protected function getElements() {
            if ( $this->elements == null ) {
                $this->elements = (array) get_option( 'spb_elements' );
            }

            return $this->elements;
        }

        public function getElementsList() {
            $this->elements = (array) $elements;

            return $this;

        }
    }
    
//////////////
        
public function getTemplatesList() {
 	$this->elements = (array( 'orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'DESC' ));
    return $this->getTemplates();
}

 
//////////////

public function getElementsList() {
	$resultat = array('orderby' => 'name', 'order' => 'DESC'); 
    $this->elements = (array) $resultat;

    return $this->getElements();

}

    echo "$val";

Hi,

The idea was to show you the way. This is an example of an array with 2 itens.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6dcrduu6sf2dahq/elemens_array.png?dl=0

This is a customization that could be complicated and take sometime so that’s outside the scope of our support because we just don’t have enough time to do it.

This is the specific place where the array should be manipulated:

 protected function getElements() {
            if ( $this->elements == null ) {
                $this->elements = (array) get_option( 'spb_elements' );
            }
			
		//here manipulate $this->elements	

            return $this->elements;
        }

Hi Rui,

Finally we managed to do it with this:

 protected function getElements() {
            if ( $this->elements == null ) {
                $this->elements = (array) get_option( 'spb_elements' );
            }
            
// Just with a sort
          sort($this->elements);	

            return $this->elements;
        }

An then the HTML I will do it with CSS content after and berfore.
