Order postings manually #135

Open hschletz opened 8 months ago

hschletz commented 8 months ago

We'd like to order postings manually so that we can move the most urgent postings to the top of the list. I got it basically working:

In Configuration/TCA/tx_jobapplications_domain_model_posting.php, add 'sortby' => 'sorting' to the ctrl section.
Run database update to create the column
In Configuration/TypoScript/setup.typoscript, adjust settings.list.ordering to field=sorting and ordering=ascending.

This works for us (postings can now be moved up/down in the backend), with a few drawbacks:

Sorting is still hardcoded in setup.typoscript and could be made configurable
New postings are initially placed on top (I'd expect them to be added to the bottom).

I'm new to all this stuff, so I'm not sure if there is is a better way to achieve this. Thus no PR ;-)
