PIA 2.6 Plugin Tab Order

mcutting · Post by **mcutting** » Thu Mar 04, 2010 9:33 am

Is there any way to control the order which the tabs are displayed ? I've got some great plugins, but they look a little odd in the fact that they are not in alphabetical order ?

Thanks

Jimmy has to fix this. We need a sequence field in the plugin_config table and then use an "order by sequence". There are dependency issues too. Sometimes one plugin has to be loaded before another and not having the dependency recognized will generate issues.

Is there anything I can do/help with in the meantime ?

For alphabetical order specifically, you can add ' order by name' to the end of the two SQL queries in lib/plugins.php for the api_plugin_hook and api_plugin_hook_function functions.

That should get you tabs in alphabetical order of the plugin short name (the directory name).

Hmm, actually, only if all your plugins are new-style. Old-style ones always come after new-style ones.

Exactly what I wanted - thanks Howie
