Order usernames chronologically

[Luxus]

Hi,

I think currently usernames in the sidebar are ordered by last activity, yes? Is it possible to order them chronologically (A first, Z last) by username?

You will have to edit some code in Model/Session.php
In function getSessionActivityQuickList(), line 55
change
'order' => 'view_date'
to
'order' => 'username'

Wow, thank you very much. Too bad I have to edit a core file because this will be overwritten by an update.
(CMS, Core Modification System, anyone? )

Try this

I've not tested it, but it's a proper add-on which implements Syndol's code change.

 

[Luxus]

Hm.. I tried this add-on, but it doesn't seem to work.

 

[Chris D]

Works for me.

Before:


After:


Different users, but they're clearly alphabetical after the add-on is installed.

You need to upload the contents of the upload folder to the root of your XF installation, then install in the Admin CP using the provided XML file.

That's strange, I did exactly that but usernames were still ordered by last activity. I can only try it with my own test accounts, though.

changes to $sessionModel->getSessionActivityQuickList affects more places and not only the online user sidebar on the index page!


You could try the attached version

Well, all that I can tell is that I applied the change in Syndol's post and it's working in the side bar only. According to your thumbnail it should also affect the recent activity and online page, but for me it didn't.

Yeah as far as I can tell, it only orders the sidebar alphabetically.
