New products in alphabetical order

nextime · December 3, 2007

catalog/productsnew.php

Hallo,

have approx 30 items in "new products for:" See: Renevit.com

I would like to have them displayed in an alphabetical order.

I have learned that I should run the following SQL queries:

SQL

order by p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name";

SQL

order by pd.products_name DESC, p.products_date_added";

However, these instructions give an error in:

Mysql- 4.1.22-log phpMyAdmin-2.8.0.2

Anyone knows what should I change in these queries??

Thanks in advance

Rene

Please post the error message,

You actually have to change the sql query in the module from this:

order by p.products_date_added

to something like this:

order by pd.products_name

and you have to make sure that the sql query returns the information on the products_name field in the products_description table.

Please post the error message,

Geoffrey,

Thank you for your reaction.

The error message is give in the Dutch (Netherlands) language. I made a sort of translation:

I hope the reference number will give you some information:

Fout/Error

Er schijnt een fout te zijn in uw SQL query. Mocht de MySQL server een error hebben terug gegeven, probeer dan of uw hiermee uw fout kunt oplossen./There seem to be an error in your SQL query. If Mysql returned an error, try if you can solve it with the following:

ERROR: Quote niet afgesloten @ 44 / Quote not finnished @44

SQL-Query:

SQL-query:

p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name";

MySQL retourneerde: MySQL returned:

Thanks

As I said in my post - if you don't query the products_description table and the products_name field in that table then you cannot add pd.products_name to the output request.

Hi Vger,

Sorry, one of the two queries quoted is wrong. It should have read:

SQL

order by p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name";

SQL

order by pd.products_name DESC, p.products_date_added";

But still it gives the error:

ORDER BY p.products_date_added DESC , pd.products_name ";

order by pd.products_name DESC, p.products_date_added";

MySQL retourneerde:

#1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'order by p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name";

order by pd.products_n' at line 1

Vger

As I have now knowledge in this field I hope you will help me in writing the query for me.

So that I may copy and paste it in the data base.

Thanks in advance

If you had just continued asking questions on your original post Vger could have seen pd.products name is in the query.

catalog/productsnew.php

has

$products_new_query_raw = "select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_date_added, m.manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on (p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id), " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name";

delete

p.products_date_added DESC,

The error message seems to indicate you have just added a line after something like this

$products_new_query_raw = "select p.products_id, pd.products_name, p.products_image, p.products_price, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_date_added, m.manufacturers_name from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p left join " . TABLE_MANUFACTURERS . " m on (p.manufacturers_id = m.manufacturers_id), " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' order by p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name";

order by pd.products_name, p.products_date_added DESC";

If this is not the case please post this section of catalog/productsnew.php with 5 lines before and 5 after.

Hello geoffreywalton

Please find the section of catalog/productsnew.php with approx. 5 lines before and 5 after.

Hi Vger,

Still struggeling.

Hope anyone can help me.

If I understand correctly these are the queries to change New Products from order of date of entry to alphabetical order:

SQL

order by p.products_date_added DESC, pd.products_name";

SQL

order by pd.products_name DESC, p.products_date_added";

However, error message is raised by phpmyadmin because I also have to change some code in products_new.php as well.

Please check products_new.php and let me know what code it is I have to change.

As I have little knowledge in this field please be as clear as possible.

Thanks in advance

Rene

Hello geoffry,

Thanks for your answer. I now have changed "catalog/productsnew.php" as follows, but still see products in order of entry date

instead off in alphabetical order. Is it correct what I have done ??

What else should I do??

Should I also make changes in phpmyadmin??

Your help is much appreciated.

regards

Rene
