You don’t have a forum just for this extension, so I placed my question here.

I’m using Custom Entry Order, but I need to overwrite it on one page only.

I’ve tried the custom shortcode

[connections image_width=225 image=siteshot order_by='last_name|SORT_ACS']

but it’s not working.

How do I overwrite this custom order just on one page?

Sorry, but there is no way to override it. The extension alters the database query at a low level to enforce the order. The only way I can think of attempting this is to remove the filter which alters the query.

Try this:

Install the Code Snippets plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

add_filter( 'cn_entry_query_clauses', 'cn_remove_custom_entry_order_on_page', 9 );

function cn_remove_custom_entry_order_on_page( $clauses ) {

    if ( 7938 == get_queried_object_id() ) {

        remove_filter( 'cn_entry_query_clauses', array( 'Connections_Custom_Entry_Order', 'queryClauses' ) );
    }

    return $clauses;
}

Save and Activate this snippet, selecting the Only run on site front-end option.

This should do the trick, but keep in mind that this will affect every Connections instance on the same page, ie. widgets.

Hope that helps!

Not working.

This is the page that needs modification. http://absolutewebdesigns.co/kreia/inspector-members/member-directory/ Does anything in the snippet need to be altered to specify that page id (39)?

oops… Sorry, I left out one instruction. Change 7938 in the code snippet to the page ID, 39.
