Was this information Helpful?

Hello guys,

When creating a new product, on the product list position option, currently I can only set the number from -25 to 25. What if I have a 100 products need to be listed orderly, is there a way I can increase the number in the drop down list to -100 to 100?

Any help would be appreciated.

Peace.

Re: Re: Product list position queston.

Let me suggest that if you think you need more than 50 different weights, you're probably not presenting your products the right way. Do you expect your customers to wade through hundreds of product descriptions in one large list to find the one they want? Do you actually need to sort them arbitrarily by hand, or are you really trying to impose an order based on a property like price, size, popularity, etc? It sounds to me like you should look into the Views module, coupled with Taxonomy, to create a hierarchical, sortable presentation of your products.

I use the nodeorder module

I use the nodeorder module which adds a column to the term_node table. It provides a page when you can drag and drop product titles and the weights are saved in the database without pressing a submit. You still need to create a view and set sort to nodeorder's weight.

We're having a few problems with the first two items in the list but I've got it on my todo to find the bug and provide a patch if possible. Still recommended, just a bit confusing unless you know there is a bug.

Re: I use the nodeorder module

Further to this I needed Views installed to get NodeOrder working.
