Hello All,

I have put together a page that pulls in and displays several upcoming posts by a certain author on my site.

The problem I am having is in sorting the posts in the correct manner. I would like to display the author posts, starting with today’s date (Day1), followed by the next 7 days (Day1, Day2, Day3…Day 7) of posts. I have been able to pull this in, but when displayed, it starts with the last Day7 and works back to Day1 (Day7, Day6, Day5…Day1).

I have tried the sort from “asc” to “desc”, it simply starts with their first post, which may have been 6 months ago and displays 7 from that point. Below is the code I am using…

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="weblog" author_id="{segment_2}" start_on="{current_time format='%Y-%m-%d'}"  week_sort="desc" show_future_entries="yes" dynamic="off" limit ="7"}
<h2>{title}</h2>

<p>{summary}<br />
{body}<br />
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Any help would be more than appreciated!

Thanks

I’m a little confused about what’s actually happening, but try adding the sort= parameter in addition to the week_sort= parameter.

No such luck with adding the sort = parameter. Would it help if I provided more information? If so, what can I provide?

Cheers,

I’m not sure if this would make a difference, but you’re using the week_sort= parameter, without using he display_by=“week” parameter.  You need the display_by=“week” parameter for the week_sort= to work.

Also, if you’re using start_on=”{current_time}”, it won’t show entries from the past. Is that what you’re trying to do?  Are you trying to display today’s posts plus posts for the NEXT (i.e. upcoming) week?

Thanks for the help!

I do want to only show today’s entries and the entries for the next week, I do not need to show any past entries.

I played around with the pieces and still no luck…

I have added the display_by=“week” parameter and tried multiple combinations of “asc” and “desc” with the week_sort= and sort=, but it still lists it as Day7,Day6,Day5…Day1

Here is the current code:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="fcbc" author_id="{segment_2}" start_on="{current_time}"  display_by=“week” limit ="7"  week_sort="desc" sort = "desc" show_future_entries="yes" dynamic="off" }

Thanks again!

Ok, one step at a time.  Taking the display by week out of the equation, does the below sort them in the correct order for you.

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="fcbc" author_id="{segment_2}" start_on="{current_time}"  limit="7"  sort="asc" show_future_entries="yes" dynamic="off" }

This should show you the 7 oldest, sorted so the oldest is first.  Assuming these are the 7 posts you want to display, is this the order they should be in?  Or is it the opposite (i.e. sort=“desc”)

You are correct…

That has sorted the 7 oldest entries starting with the oldest.

What does this get you?

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="fcbc" author_id="{segment_2}" start_on="{current_time}"  sort="asc" show_future_entries="yes" dynamic="off"   display_by="week" limit="1" show_future_entries="yes" show_current_week="yes"}

Arun S. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

That worked perfectly!!

Thanks so much for working with me on this, your help is much appreciated!

Awesome!  Glad I could help. 😊
