Change default sort order on seller and store pages

[Kristin]

What code snippet would I need to use to change the default sort order on both the seller and store listing pages to “alphabetical,” instead of the current “most active”?

[George]

Looking for this change as well.

I’m looking for this, too

Still hoping for a better solution, but in the meantime, I figured out a workaround.

For those interested, here’s what I did … create a custom menu link for each directory page using the following format:

Sellers: http://your-domain.com/seller(or whatever your page is called)/?sorder=alphabetical
Stores: http://your-domain.com/store(or whatever your page is called)/?storeorder=alphabetical

To figure out the exact links, it’s easiest to just go to the page, sort alphabetically and then copy and paste the resulting page URL. 🙂

Hi all, I have noted it and assign it to one of our concern teammate he will check it and will provide a code snippet to change it.

Thank you… will be anxiously waiting 🙂

Thanks so much for this fix, Kristin – Works like a charm! 🙂

Hi @krutten & @thehappycouponer,

For quick fix, you can add this code in your theme files:

$defaults = array(
'type' => 'active',
'action' => 'active'
);

to
$defaults = array(
'type' => 'alphabetical',
'action' => 'alphabetical'
);

In your sellers-index.php , store-index.php

Thanks Pallavi 🙂

Anytime 🙂

Thanks @Pallavi… I’m assuming you mean in the Buddyboss-Marketplace plugin page template files, correct? I tried that before posting and again when you provided the code and it has no effect on my site. Also tried clearing my cache, just in case that was affecting things.

Hi @krutten, Copy both the files from plugin file and paste it into child theme at same path to overriding your changes:

The file path will be: onesocial-child/bb-marketplace/store-index.php and onesocial-child/bb-marketplace/sellers-index.php

Regards

[Kristin]

Thanks @Pallavi … I tried that as well. Still no effect.

Just an FYI for those still trying to figure this out… it’s now working on mine by replacing lines 16-24 with the following code (essentially replacing the word ‘active’ with ‘alphabetical’ in the three instances shown) and making sure the files are in the exact location described by @Pallavi above:

// Filter variables
        $order = isset($_GET['storeorder'])?$_GET['storeorder']:'alphabetical';

        $querystring = bp_ajax_querystring( 'members' );

        $defaults = array(
            'type'            => 'alphabetical',
            'action'          => 'alphabetical'
        );
