Remove items from Sort by list

I need to remove "Create Date" from the "Sort by" list. Where can I do that?

Thanks,

Re: Remove items from Sort by list

According to http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/54/threadid/252628/scope/posts/Default.aspx there is no ability to alter the items in the sort list via a module setting or template.

The only way I managed to do this was with javascript. In your header.html file you're using (such as \DesktopModules\Repository\Templates\default\header.html ) add the following:

<script type="text/javascript" src="[JAVASCRIPTFOLDER]myjs.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.onload = function() {
fixRepositorySortDropDownOptions();
}
</script>

Then create the following file: \DesktopModules\Repository\js\myjs.js with the contents

function removeElementFromDrowpdown(dropdown, itemValueToRemove) {

   for (i = dropdown.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
      if (dropdown.options[i].value == itemValueToRemove) {
         dropdown.remove(i);
         return;
      }
   }
}

function fixRepositorySortDropDownOptions() {
// remove options from dropdown which arn't in file list template

   var elSel = document.getElementById('dnn_ctr547_Repository_cboSort');
   if (elSel != null) {
      removeElementFromDrowpdown(elSel, "Downloads");
      removeElementFromDrowpdown(elSel, "RatingAverage");
      removeElementFromDrowpdown(elSel, "Author");
      removeElementFromDrowpdown(elSel, "CreatedDate");
   }
}

You'll need to update 'dnn_ctr547_Repository_cboSort' with the id of your dropdown, and also add/delete the options from the list you want to delete (look at the option value names). In the above example, we delete the user ratings, # downloads, author name and date created.

Hope that helps,

Cheers,

Tim
