Albums sort by A-Z always by default

[ashkir]

I added a quick workaround for my users can view the albums in alphabetical order always pretty much, unless otherwise chosen. The A-Z has been a mega hit among my users, everyone already is raving about it.

Now here's how to do what I did!

For the Menu
Go to app/themes/YOURTHEME/header.php
and find line 450

<li><a href="<?php echo CHV\Login::getUser()["url_albums"]; ?>"><?php _se('Albums'); ?></a></li>

Change that line to:

<li><a href="<?php echo CHV\Login::getUser()["url_albums"]; ?>?sort=name_asc"><?php _se('Albums'); ?></a></li>

For the user's page
Go to app/themes/YOURTHEME/views/user.php
and find line 104

<a class="number-figures" href="<?php echo get_user()["url_albums"]; ?>"><b data-text="album-count"><?php echo get_user()["album_count"]; ?></b> <span data-text="album-label" data-label-single="<?php _ne('album', 'albums', 1); ?>" data-label-plural="<?php _ne('album', 'albums', 2); ?>"><?php _ne('album', 'albums', get_user()['album_count']); ?></span></a>

Change that line to:

<a class="number-figures" href="<?php echo get_user()["url_albums"]; ?>?sort=name_asc"><b data-text="album-count"><?php echo get_user()["album_count"]; ?></b> <span data-text="album-label" data-label-single="<?php _ne('album', 'albums', 1); ?>" data-label-plural="<?php _ne('album', 'albums', 2); ?>"><?php _ne('album', 'albums', get_user()['album_count']); ?></span></a>

Thanks, might give that a try.

It seems to be more natural when viewing albums.

Just need the images within the albums to also have an A-Z sort option now 🙂

Worked like a champ, thank you!

Hello, is this still relevant with version 4.07? THANKS

Actually, I'd love to know if this is workable in v4 too. @ashkir is this still valid, or is there an updated code you happen to have in your back pocket? 🙂
