Does anyone know if there is a way to specify the sort order for featured products?
If not, in the source code, where is the code that actually fetch the featured products from database? (maybe I can simply add a sort by there to sort it?)
Thanks!
In /catalog/controller/extension/module/featured.php
Add something like:

Somehow adding the said line does not work for me:
I saw this line early:
Do we know where does
come from? (maybe I can change the value there instead?)
Thank you!
Code: Select all
'sort' => 'name'
Code: Select all
$products = array_slice($setting['product'], 0, (int)$setting['limit']);
Code: Select all
$setting['product']
Thank you!

Actually I found this works for me:
In the said file, near end of it, add this to sort it:

usort($data['products'], function($a, $b) {
return strcmp($a['name'], $b['name']);

I was looking for a quick solution to this issue myself.
The option I chose was to directly edit the order in the underlying data table of the database.
**!Ensure you backup your database before editing any table data!!** - You have been warned.
db - table
db > db_module
You can simply edit the order of the displayed product id's. You need the record where 'code' = 'featured'
You'll end up looking at something similar to the below JSON string:
the numbers string after 'product' is a list of the items to be displayed and in the order in which they are shown. Simply amend the order. Use your own preferred method e.g SQL statement, phpmyadmin etc.
This requires no edits to core OC files.
