So I have managed to sort my posts with some basic settings. I want to change this from date-asc, date-dec, comments etc week, month, all time. I also was hoping to incorporate the following code which would sort the top voted posts only, instead of all posts
meta_key=votes_count&orderby=meta_value_num&order=DESC&posts_per_page=10
My working top rated page at the moment, which sorts my date-asc, title etc:
<?php
if( isset($_GET['o']) && $_GET['o'] != '')
{
$order = $_GET['o'];
switch($order)
{
case 'date-asc': $orderby = 'order=ASC';
$msg = 'Date Ascending';
break;
case 'date-desc': $orderby = 'order=DESC';
$msg = 'Date Descending(default)';
break;
case 'date-mod': $orderby = 'orderby=modified';
$msg = 'Date Modified';
break;
case 'title-asc': $orderby = 'orderby=title&order=ASC';
$msg = 'Title A-Z';
break;
case 'title-desc': $orderby = 'orderby=title&order=DESC';
$msg = 'Title Z-A';
break;
case 'comment': $orderby = 'orderby=comment_count';
$msg = 'Comment Count';
break;
}
}
else
{
$orderby = 'order=DESC';
$msg = 'Date Descending (default)';
}
?>
<div id="content">
<div id="sorter-container">
<h2 id="sort-heading">Posts ordered by:<?php echo $msg; ?></h2>
<select id="order-by">
<option value="date-desc" <?php echo (!isset($order) || $order == '' || $order == 'date-desc')? 'selected="selected"':''; ?>>Date Desc. (default)</option>
<option value="date-asc" <?php echo ($order == 'date-asc')? 'selected="selected"':''; ?>>Date Asc</option>
<option value="date-mod" <?php echo ($order == 'date-mod')? 'selected="selected"':''; ?>>Date Modified</option>
<option value="title-desc" <?php echo ($order == 'title-desc')? 'selected="selected"':''; ?>>Title Desc.</option>
<option value="title-asc" <?php echo ($order == 'title-asc')? 'selected="selected"':''; ?>>Title Asc.</option>
<option value="comment" <?php echo ($order == 'comment')? 'selected="selected"':''; ?>>Comments Count</option>
</select>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var orderby = jQuery('#order-by');
var str;
orderby.change(function(){
str = jQuery(this).val();
window.location.href = "<?php echo home_url(); ?>/top-rated/?o="+str;
});
</script>
EDIT2:
Ok, so here is what I have, it no longer works, so I just continued and added week/month/alltime to where I think it should go (I know its not correct, but I wasnt sure how to limit the sort to just 7 days etc.
<?php
if( isset($_GET['o']) && $_GET['o'] != '')
{
$order = $_GET['o'];
switch($order)
{
case 'week': $orderby = 'meta_key=votes_count&orderby=meta_value_num&order=DESC&WEEK&posts_per_page=10';
$msg = 'This Week (default)';
break;
case 'month': $orderby = 'meta_key=votes_count&orderby=meta_value_num&order=DESC&MONTH&posts_per_page=10';
$msg = 'This Month';
break;
case 'alltime': $orderby = 'meta_key=votes_count&orderby=meta_value_num&order=DESC&ALLTIME&posts_per_page=10';
$msg = 'All Time';
break;
else
{
$orderby = 'order=DESC';
$msg = 'This Week (default)';
}
?>
<div id="content">
<div id="sorter-container">
<h2 id="sort-heading">Posts ordered by:<?php echo $msg; ?></h2>
<select id="order-by">
<option value="week" <?php echo (!isset($order) || $order == '' || $order == 'week')? 'selected="selected"':''; ?>>This Week (default)</option>
<option value="month" <?php echo ($order == 'month')? 'selected="selected"':''; ?>>This Month</option>
<option value="alltime" <?php echo ($order == 'alltime')? 'selected="selected"':''; ?>>All Time</option>
</select>
</div>
As described in the comments of the question your current code base does not make it possible to do what you want.
wp-postratings Can do exactly like you want in the faq there is a question To Display Highest Rated Post Within A Given Period.
Take a look there you should be able to figure this out.
