Sorting Parent Posts Dropdown #227

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
When using custom hierarchy I need to set the post's parent. 
Specially when you have too many posible parents it is difficult to find the 
exact post I want because the dropdown is ordered by date. It would be nice if 
we could select the default sorting field and order. 

In my case I have solved the issue adding the following code inside the 
function "customized_hierarchical_post_types" in "StandadizedCustomFields.php":

                        $args['orderby'] = 'title';
                        $args['order'] = 'ASC';

The bad thing is I must keep an eye after updating the plugin.

Yes, I'm refactoring this by integrating my Summarize Posts plugin, which will 
let you specify all kinds of filters when you search for another post -- this 
is a good point.  The refactoring was focusing on the Relation fields (e.g. 
Image fields, media fields), but this should apply to the custom hierarchies as 
well.  

Related: issue 8.

Another suggestion, and actually asking for a possible suggestion back.

Let's imagine the following custom content types and hierarchy :
country > state > city

When I'm creating a new "city" I must choose it's parent "state" among all the 
"states" available in any "country".
It would be a better user experience if I could filter by choosing at first 
"country" and then a "state" among the "states" in the "country" I had 
specified before. In other words, choose a "post" parent from the top of the 
hierarchy till the bottom.

Actually it would be even better if I could use that kind of relation in any 
custom field. So wouldn't need to set a parent just a new "relation field".

The suggestion I ask is, do you know/recommend any CMS that does this kind of 
content type relations out of the box, or at least with some plugins. I love 
wordpress for it's simple interface , that makes easier for the regular user. 
But I lack such feature in some projects I am working on.

Yes, it's surprising that so many people have suggested more or less the exact 
same thing as I've been working on it.  See issue 8 -- there dev version of 
0.9.5 that does this on the dev branch that lets you specify a lot of detail 
when you set up a relation field and when you make the selection when you 
create/edit the post.  I'm still weeding through the other fields for 0.9.5.  

See http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-content-type-manager/download/ 
for the dev version.

The initial sorting thing has been included in 0.9.5.
