I am building a development aid website www.ontwikkelingswerk.net (dutch for development aid) together with Nepalese people to help them.
I am using the category module, because it gives much more categorising possibilities than the normal Taxonomy module.
I am using drupal 4.7.5.

Is it possible to use the nodeorder module together with the Category module?
I have taxonomy wrapper installed so in the background the taxonomy tables are still used and modules depending on the taxonomy still work.
Only the Taxonomy module itself including the admin is becauuse of the Category module not available more (as far as I can see).
So I can't correctly install the Nodeorder options, I simple can't get the taxonomy admin screen where I should check the nodeorder field.
(adds a checkbox on the "edit vocabulary" page titled "Orderable" -- it defaults to being unchecked) is not available because of the Category module)

Can you please help me?
Are you implementing the nodeorder module to work with the category module please?
The category module will be used more and more the coming year I think.

Thanks in advance!

Greetings,
Martijn Haan

Martijn,

I have not used the Category module but I understand that it is popular. If you have a need for Category and Nodeorder to work together, then we should figure out how to get it done. My time is limited right now, but you could help me to at least understand the issue better by listing the exact modules that you have installed so I can replicate it here.

Anyone else have time to delve into this?

Thanks,

Marc

Hi Marc,

I see the category module is very popular on Drupal..
So please get into it to get the nodeorder module working with the category module on Drupal 4.7.
It would be great to be able to set the nodeorder in my website.

Thanks in advance!

greetings,
Martijn

Sorry for posting the same twice.
Is somebody else also interested in getting to be in control of the node-order with using the category-module?
greetings,
Martijn

Martijn,

I think it would be better to ask for this feature on the Category issue queue.

Status: Active » Closed (won't fix)

Setting status to "won't fix" because this is a Category module issue.

In the drupal 6 the node order works great with the ubercart catalog.

Just install and the node order module in the usual fashion then go to modules/ubercart/uc_catalog/uc_catalog.pages.inc

Find

if (empty($_REQUEST['order'])) {
$order = 'ORDER BY p.ordering, n.title, n.nid';
}

and replace it with

if (empty($_REQUEST['order'])) {
$order = 'ORDER BY tn.weight_in_tid, p.ordering, n.title, n.nid';
}
