[Solved]How to add sort by "added date" for product list?

[deroxonweb]

Hello Sir/Madam,

 

Could somebody teach me how to add sort by "added date" for product list? I tried to search through the forum, but I did not found a solution for it. Please advice and help, thank you very much.

 

PS: I am using PS 1.3.6

This works for 1.3.7, should work with 1.3.6 as well.

 

Edit (after making a backup copy) /themes/prestashop/product-sort.tpl. Within the select element add another option element so the entire select reads:

<select id="selectPrductSort" onchange="document.location.href = $(this).val();">
<option value="{$link->addSortDetails($request, 'position', $orderwayposition)|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if $orderby eq 'position'}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='--'}</option>
<option value="{$link->addSortDetails($request, 'price', 'asc')|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if $orderby eq 'price'    AND $orderway eq 'ASC' }selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='price: lowest first'}</option>
<option value="{$link->addSortDetails($request, 'price', 'desc')|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if $orderby eq 'price'    AND $orderway eq 'DESC'}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='price: highest first'}</option>
<option value="{$link->addSortDetails($request, 'name', 'asc')|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if $orderby eq 'name'     AND $orderway eq 'ASC' }selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='name: A to Z'}</option>
<option value="{$link->addSortDetails($request, 'name', 'desc')|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if $orderby eq 'name'     AND $orderway eq 'DESC'}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='name: Z to A'}</option>
<option value="{$link->addSortDetails($request, 'quantity', 'desc')|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if $orderby eq 'quantity' AND $orderway eq 'DESC' }selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='in-stock first'}</option>
<option value="{$link->addSortDetails($request, 'date_add', 'desc')|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if $orderby eq 'date_add' AND $orderway eq 'DESC' }selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='date added'}</option>
</select>

Notice the the last option element. This will give you products in descending date added order. If you want ascending order change relevant descs to asc. You can also change "date added" at the end to something else if you wish.

Hi all,

What would the code be for PS 1.4.4?

What would the code be for PS 1.4.4?

I don't have 1.4.4 installed. This is for latest version but should work with the 1.4.4. too.

 

Insert one or both lines below in the same file.

 

<option value="date_add:desc" {if $orderby eq 'date_add' AND $orderway eq 'desc'}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='Date added: latest first'}</option>
<option value="date_add:asc" {if $orderby eq 'date_add' AND $orderway eq 'asc'}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='Date added: earliest first'}</option>

 

To insert after the existing options use the marked location, or move up to insert earlier

 

<select id="selectPrductSort">        
       <option value="{$orderbydefault|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}:{$orderwaydefault|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" {if $orderby eq $orderbydefault}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='--'}</option>
       {if !$PS_CATALOG_MODE}
               <option value="price:asc" {if $orderby eq 'price' AND $orderway eq 'asc'}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='Price: lowest first'}</option>
               <option value="price:desc" {if $orderby eq 'price' AND $orderway eq 'desc'}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='Price: highest first'}</option>
       {/if}
       <option value="name:asc" {if $orderby eq 'name' AND $orderway eq 'asc'}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='Product Name: A to Z'}</option>
       <option value="name:desc" {if $orderby eq 'name' AND $orderway eq 'desc'}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='Product Name: Z to A'}</option>
       {if !$PS_CATALOG_MODE}
               <option value="quantity:desc" {if $orderby eq 'quantity' AND $orderway eq 'desc'}selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='In-stock first'}</option>
       {/if}
       <!-- INSERT HERE -->
</select>

 

You can change the wording "Date added: latest/earliest first" to whatever you want if not suitable. Remember to make a backup of the original file.

Hi!

Is it possible to do the filtering also for most popular products? (meaning those that sell most....)

Thanks

Best regards,

Ana

Hi!

I am also searching for filtering of most popular products....

[Cintia]

I have 1.5 and it worked for me thanks!!

I am working on this website
http://shop.mzed.com/index.php?id_category=13&controller=category&n=20

They want a shopify like sorting drop down menu on it,
http://www.mzed.com/collections/all/design
how I may enable the sorting on the products page?

[Scully]

Sorting within category works perfectly with this change. However when a user manually enters a search tem, there is no visible result (no image, no text) - but page numbers still exist.

Any idea?

 

My version is 1.5.6.2. Regards, Scully

[oliiix]

still works in 1.6!! GREAT
