Changing default tag order
June 10, 2008, 09:52:57 am
Hi,

I'm brand new to CiviCRM...I've dug around in the code a bit and Googled this topic, but haven't found an answer thus far.

I'd like to change the way tags are displayed in the Tags tab for Individual Contacts.  I'd like them to be ordered by id, rather than alphabetically.

I haven't seen a method for doing that in the Admin section, so I assume I'll have to add an ORDER BY to the sql statement.  Could someone please tell me where I might find that?

Thanks,

kmitz

You will need to edit the code in: CRM/Core/PseudoConstant.php, function tag( ) (line 718)

The function populate can take an order by clause, so you just need to expand the parameters to that function

Lobo,

Thanks.  I wouldn't have thought to look in there.

FWIW, I modified line 684 thusly:

Code: [Select]
self::populate( self::$tag, 'CRM_Core_DAO_Tag', true, 'name', 'is_active', null, true, 'id' );

neither did i :)

I just followed the trail .

CRM/Contact/Page/View/Tag.php => CRM/Tag/Form/Tag.php => CRM/Core/PseudoConstant.php

It is all quite logical (and structured, IMO)

OK.  Thanks for that.  I work in several Open Source web apps and they are all structured a little differently.

Thanks for cluing me in.
