Goal: enhance the blog shortcode to SORT and to select other ORDERBY criteria
use the modified shortcode then like
orginal shortcode: [ blog_list thumb="small" ]
MODIFIED order DESC: [ blog_list thumb="small" orderby="modified" order="DESC"]
MODIFIED ASC [ blog_list thumb="small" orderby="modified" order="ASC"]
TITEL order ASC [ blog_list thumb="small" orderby="title" order="ASC"]
Titel order DESC [ blog_list thumb="small" orderby="title" order="DESC"]
.... and so on, see CODEX - WP_QUERY
file: ..... wp-conten/themes/xxx/lib/shortcodes/14-blog.php
add in about Line 195 the parsing of the arguments --> the lines marked with //heli
$defaults = array( 'thumb' => '', 'showposts' => '', 'offset' => '', 'post_content' => '', 'categories' => '', 'pagination' => '', 'disable' => '', 'post_in' => '', 'category_in' => '', 'tag_in' => '', 'orderby' => 'date', //heli 'order' => 'DESC' //heli );
same for the line 264 (former 262)
$blog_query->query(array( 'post__in' => $post_in, 'category__in' => $category_in, 'tag__in' => $tag_in, 'post_type' => 'post', 'showposts' => $showposts, 'nopaging' => 0, 'offset' => $offset, 'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1, 'orderby' => $orderby, //heli 'order' => $order //heli )); }
if you want to load the image-thumbs in a fly without spinning wheel then replace about line 360 "filter_args" at by following line:
$filter_args = array( 'width' => $width, 'height' => $height, 'img_class' => $img_class, 'link_class' => '_blog_sc_image_load_', 'preload' => false, 'post_content' => $post_content, 'disable' => $disable, 'column' => $column, 'thumb' => $thumb, 'type' => $args['type'], 'shortcode' => true, 'echo' => false );
I hope these modifications are transferred in the original framework
