Does Low Reorder work with Switchee?

mjmpjdesign 27 Oct 2012 17:49 question, complete

Hi

Just wondering if Low Redorder works OK with Switchee and it's style of template code?

I'm using Switchee with EE native categories on a site. The site has 6 sections each with a "main section page". Each "main section page" displays specific entries as a series of boxes, the user defines which entries are displayed on each "main section page" by assigning one of 6 categories to an entry, This is the code used to display the entries as boxes:

{exp:channel:entries channel="{embed:channels}" status="not closed" category="{embed:category}" disable="category_fields|member_data|pagination" dynamic="no" orderby="date" sort="desc"}

{title}


{exp:eehive_hacksaw words="25" append="..."}{description_of_event}{location-description}{gallery-content}{standard_body_content}{/exp:eehive_hacksaw}


Go to page →


{/exp:channel:entries}

As you can see from the code, the user currently has to change the publish date to define the order of entry display. Low Reorder looks like a much better solution but I just want to check if you think it will work with the above code.

Thanks in advance for your help.

    OK, looks like some of the template code has actually been parsed when I submitted the post. I can email you the actual template code if you need to see it.

    Thanks again.

    The Low Reorder Entries tag is interchangeable with the channel:entries tag, so any code you can accomplish with the channel:entries tag, you should also be able to achieve with the low_reorder:entries tag.

    If you need to share more code, you can also use something like pastie.org.
