PreSales Question, compatability with structure?

Phil Brienesse 20 Nov 2010 17:00 question, complete

Hey Low,

Thinking of buying this module but not sure if it will work for my intended purpose. I am using structure on a site. And have the following pages.

Portfolio
---Web
---Print

All three of these belong to one channel (static-pages). The portfolio page is a "listing" type in structure for another channel called, you guessed it "portfolio". The client would like to be able to custom sort the portfolio entries. I could just make them regular structure pages but this seems impractical as there are many many entries and it would clog the structure page. Could I use your module to give them the sort functionality they would like on this one channel. And then use the appropriate low_reorder call from the channel entries tag on the portfolio pages?

    Hey Phil,

    I must admit, I haven't ever used Structure, so I'm not a 100% sure. But there's a way to find out.

    If you can sort the portfolio entries by any custom field of that channel, then Low Reorder should be compatible.

    Hey Low,

    Thanks for the reply. Gave it a shot and it works like a dream. The client can have the infinite control on reorder they want. Interface is slick and easy to use. Nice that you can filter and sort as well. May find some other uses for this in upcoming projects, very nice addon.
