I'm using my groups like a venue directory. I would like to the default display to be alpha instead of most recent. How can I change this?

Hi Arthur,

you can do it by using override for /components/com_community/templates/default/groups.list.php
documentation.jomsocial.com/wiki/Customizing_Template
and put this code at the bottom of page:

<script type="text/javascript">
joms.jQuery(document).ready(function() {
	var sort = "<?php if (isset($_GET['sort'])) echo $_GET['sort']; else echo '';?>";
	if (sort == '') window.location.href = joms.jQuery(joms.jQuery('ul.filters li.filter a')[1]).attr('href');
});
</script>

Do you mind taking a look at the page? It is working, but its working after it has went through the code. When on the page, first time it loads it the default way. Then after a sec or two it goes in the alphabetical. Is it anyway to just make it appear that way on first load or no? It looks very odd when it does that.

Hi Arthur,

my prev post, that changes will not disappear at upgrade process. But here the other solution, but will disappear at upgrade process.
1. edit components/com_community/views/groups/view.html.php
2 change the code line 1447
from

$sorted = $jinput->get->get('sort', 'latest', 'STRING');

$sorted = $jinput->get->get('sort', 'alphabetical', 'STRING');

->set('sortings', CFilterBar::getHTML(CRoute::getURI(), $sortItems, 'latest'))

->set('sortings', CFilterBar::getHTML(CRoute::getURI(), $sortItems, 'alphabetical'))

That did the trick. Just so I'm clear.., doing an override in this case won't work?

Hi Arthur,

override won't work for views. override only for templates.
