Wordpress Sort Plugin 08.08.08
I need a plugin written for wordpress that will sort posts.
Usability:
* The plugin would display a drop down menu on category & search pages similar to the ’sort by’ box that is used on YouTube.
* The plugin would have a wordpress admin panel where options can be selected (see below for further explanation)
Technincal Requirements:
* The plugin will use a query string
eg.http://sitename.com/category/subcategory/?sort=title&dir=asc
* The plugin will work with pagination.
eg.http://sitename.com/category/subcategory/page/5/?sort=title&dir=asc
* The plugin will produce pages that are cacheable by WP super cache, this is the reason for the query string requirement.
* The plugin will function in an environment with ‘pretty permalinks’ enabled in wordpress.
* The plugin will utilize WP’s built in sort by hooks. The reason for this is to make it as compatable with other plugins as possible.
(For example other plugins may be displaying output based on the current page of results and access this information from the wp loop, by using the built in sort by we make the current ’sorted’ category/search page’s posts accessable via the loop.) Particularly it should be compatable with tdo_tag_fixes plugin.
* The plugin must provide the option to sort by any detected fields in the wp_posts table. (this allows for a modified posts table)
* The plugin will provide the option to sort by any custom fields.
Admin Backend:
* The admin backend option will provide a selectable list of fields to display in the sort box on category pages and search results.
(The plugin will be used on my site travel.accommodationsphere.com)
Please do not hesitate to ask for further clarification before bidding.
PS This plugin will be a valuable addition to the WP community, the programmer will have the option to post this plugin on wordpress.org themselves under their own name (I will expect a discounted project price if the programmer would like to do this) or if not preferring to do this I will accept FULL rights and ownership to the plugin and post it under my name.
