Has anyone created or know of a forum thread that explains how to modify the code to change the sort by on the products page to a dropdown selection?

Looking for a solution for the 4.1.x branch.

Thanks,

Louise

Hi,
See the attached file.
This file originaly from "main/search_sort_by.tpl"

SpinyMan,

Excellent! That was what I was looking for.

Below is a slightly different version. Both are useful.

<table>
<tr>
<td>
{$lng.lbl_sort_by}:
<select name="sort_by" ONCHANGE="location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;" >
{foreach from=$sort_fields key=name item=field}
{if $navigation_page > 1}{assign var="cur_url" value=$url|cat:"page="|cat:$navigation_page|cat:"& amp;sort="|cat:$name|cat:"&amp;sort_direction="}
{else}{assign var="cur_url" value=$url|cat:"sort="|cat:$name|cat:"&amp;sort_di rection="}
{/if}
<option value="{$cur_url}1" {if $name eq $selected && $direction eq 1}selected="selected"{/if}>{$field} (UP)</option>
<option value="{$cur_url}0" {if $name eq $selected && $direction eq 0}selected="selected"{/if}>{$field} (Down)</option>
{/foreach}
</select>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

Thank you! I am sure others will find these useful as well.

hi louise
what temp does this go in the product.tpl?

[dalmuti]

main/search_sort_by.tpl - just replace or comment out the default code

It doesn't go on the product.tpl

Hi SpinyMan

It works great!

Thanks.

I'm wondering how the dropdown looked/came out.
Any of you got it live to see how it worked out?

Louise your idea is OK, but the code is not. Could you please revise it?

Victor your custom work is working great. I appreciate if you offer it as only one select menu, without pushing any button after selecting. Close to Louise (which is not working).

Thanks.
