Weight
This module adds a weight option to enabled node types. Nodes with lower weight will float to the top of lists, while heavier items will sink. It uses the node table's 'sticky' column to store weights as well as sticky information (so that feature is not lost).
You might be interested in reading Comparison of Node Ordering Modules.
This is useful for sorting non-chronological nodes like bios, e-commerce products, or whatever you would like.
Nodes will be sorted first by stickiness, then by weight, then by creation date.
With support for 6.x, the support for 4.7 ends. It is available as-is only.
As of January 24, 2009, the 5.x and 6.x versions begin to diverge, with new features added in issue #320935. Drupal 7 is getting closer.
Version Status
With the increasing adoption of Drupal 6 and the maturing of D7, we feel the time has come to place our 5.x version into “maintenance only” mode. From now until we release a 7.x version there will be no new development on the 5.x version; we will, however, provide a “best effort” to fix bugs.
Issues
As with all contributed modules, when considering submitting an issue:
- Read the documentation (two or three times is better). Don't forget the handbook pages.
- Review the existing issues list. (Don't forget to select "<all>" for the "Status" field.)
- Gather all the appropriate information. This may include (but is not limited to):
- Drupal version.
- Browser type and version.
- Database type and version.
- Error messages, if any.
- Module settings.
- Submit the issue. If other modules are involved, you may need to submit the issue to those modules as well.
PHP 4 and MySql 4
Due to end-of-life on PHP4 and MySql4, we no longer actively support either of those products. If a problem arises, we will make an effort to work around it, but will not make a guarantee. Drupal 7 will require PHP 5.2.5 or higher and MySql 5 (or Postgres 8); if your host is not at these levels yet, please encourage them to get there ASAP.
Development version status
The development versions (-dev, which rolls up at Noon and Midnight GMT) are where the newest stuff is, including any bug fixes and new features. We try to make sure it is tested before we commit anything, but occasionally a bug will get by us. Your help on testing this code is greatly appreciated. The translation templates may not always be up-to-date in the dev releases.
