This is a multiple-article series of tutorials on how to develop a Model-View-Controller Component for Joomla! Version.
Begin with the Introduction, and navigate the articles in this series by using the navigation button at the bottom or the box to the right (the Articles in this series).
This tutorial is part of the Developing an MVC Component for Joomla! 3.2 tutorial. You are encouraged to read the previous parts of the tutorial before reading this.
In this step we add ordering capability to our component.
A video accompanying this step can be found at Adding Ordering.
Introduction[edit]
Joomla core components allow the administrator to define an arbitrary ordering of items by clicking on the Ordering symbol (a little up arrowhead above a down arrowhead) at the top left of the items table, and then clicking on one of the 3 vertical dots symbols and sliding the record up or down to reorder.
In this step we build the code to support this functionality for Helloworld records. Like Joomla core components we'll allow the administrator to specify the order within a category, although this can be easily changed to allow ordering across a different set of records (eg ordering within a language), or across all helloworld records.
We'll use the order defined by the administrator when we output the Category view of helloworld records on the front end.
Approach[edit]
We need to store the Ordering in the database, and we'll follow the example of Joomla components and call this field "Ordering". As usual, naming a field in a way that aligns with Joomla core unlocks a lot of library functionality which we can reuse.
Our main work in the back end is associated with the helloworlds view
- including the Ordering field within our query
- including the Ordering field within our filter fields, as we'll want to sort the table using that field
- displaying the Ordering column in the layout file, and setting up the data to enable the dynamic reording functionality (ie sliding the record up/down to reorder).
- because we're going to allow ordering within a category, we'll include the category within the filter fields.
On the front end category view we'll set up the default ordering to use the Ordering field from the database.
We also have to consider what the Ordering field should be set to whenever new helloworld records are created, remembering that this can occur on both the back end and the front end. In both these cases we can set the value of Ordering within a function prepareTable($table) which Joomla will call prior to saving the record in the database. We put this function into the appropriate model: admin/models/helloworld.php for the back end and site/models/form.php for the front end.
Updating the Database[edit]
Add the ordering field to the database record:
admin/sql/install.mysql.utf8.sql
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `#__helloworld`;
CREATE TABLE `#__helloworld` (
`id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`asset_id` INT(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`created` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`created_by` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`checked_out` INT(10) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`checked_out_time` DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
`greeting` VARCHAR(25) NOT NULL,
`alias` VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`language` CHAR(7) NOT NULL DEFAULT '*',
`ordering` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`published` tinyint(4) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1',
`catid` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
`params` VARCHAR(1024) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`image` VARCHAR(1024) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
`latitude` DECIMAL(9,7) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0.0,
`longitude` DECIMAL(10,7) NOT NULL DEFAULT 0.0,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)
ENGINE =MyISAM
AUTO_INCREMENT =0
DEFAULT CHARSET =utf8;
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX `aliasindex` ON `#__helloworld` (`alias`, `catid`);
INSERT INTO `#__helloworld` (`greeting`,`alias`,`language`,`ordering`) VALUES
('Hello World!','hello-world','en-GB',1),
('Goodbye World!','goodbye-world','en-GB',2);
New SQL update file:
/admin/sql/updates/mysql/0.0.25.sql
ALTER TABLE`#__helloworld` ADD COLUMN `ordering` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0' AFTER `language`;
UPDATE `#__helloworld` SET `ordering` = `id`;
The SQL Update statement above could result in gaps in our Ordering values, but this doesn't matter. The Ordering values don't have to be consecutive within a category, and over time the values will change as the ordering functionality is used.
Admin Helloworlds MVC[edit]
In our model we need to include the Ordering field in our database select. And as we're going to include the category within the filter fields, we need the category id in the select as well.

We add the category id to the filter fields, and also enable ordering by the Ordering column, correcting also the name of translated string association with ordering by greeting.

Joomla uses the JQuery UI Sortable library to implement the dragging and dropping associated with reordering the records. The Joomla JHtml::_('sortablelist.sortable', ...) function gives us an API for including the jQuery library functionality, and the core Joomla javascript within media/jui/js/sortablelist.js handles the interfacing with the jQuery javascript code. We need to provide certain details such as
- the set of records in which ordering takes place – for us this is the helloworlds <table> and we indicate this by passing the id of the table element as a parameter within JHtml::_('sortablelist.sortable', ...)
- the subset of records for which the order can be interchanged – this is specified by the sortable-group-id attribute on the table row <tr>. Rows are interchangeable if they have the same value of this attribute.
- the icon which initiates the dragging for reordering – this is through applying the CSS class sortable-handler to the element containing the icon of the 3 vertical dots
- the URL to call (via Ajax) to store a reordering of the records on the server – passed as a parameter to JHtml::_('sortablelist.sortable', ...). This function is saveOrderAjax() within the Admin Controller.
There's also a hidden input field, with name = "order[]", which the javascript uses to pass the new ordering to the server in the Ajax call.

Frontend Category View[edit]
We set up our category model so that the default ordering is using the Ordering field.
site/models/category.php
<?php
/**
* Model for displaying the helloworld messages in a given category
*/
defined('_JEXEC') or die;
class HelloworldModelCategory extends JModelList
{
public function __construct($config = array())
{
if (empty($config['filter_fields']))
{
$config['filter_fields'] = array(
'id',
'greeting',
'alias',
'ordering',
);
}
parent::__construct($config);
}
protected function populateState($ordering = null, $direction = null)
{
parent::populateState($ordering, $direction);
$app = JFactory::getApplication('site');
$catid = $app->input->getInt('id');
$this->setState('category.id', $catid);
}
protected function getListQuery()
{
$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$catid = $this->getState('category.id');
$query->select('id, greeting, alias, catid')
->from($db->quoteName('#__helloworld'))
->where('catid = ' . $catid);
if (JLanguageMultilang::isEnabled())
{
$lang = JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag();
$query->where('language IN ("*","' . $lang . '")');
}
$orderCol = $this->state->get('list.ordering', 'ordering');
$orderDirn = $this->state->get('list.direction', 'asc');
$query->order($db->escape($orderCol) . ' ' . $db->escape($orderDirn));
return $query;
}
public function getCategoryName()
{
$catid = $this->getState('category.id');
$categories = JCategories::getInstance('Helloworld', array());
$categoryNode = $categories->get($catid);
return $categoryNode->title;
}
public function getSubcategories()
{
$catid = $this->getState('category.id');
$categories = JCategories::getInstance('Helloworld', array());
$categoryNode = $categories->get($catid);
$subcats = $categoryNode->getChildren();
$lang = JFactory::getLanguage()->getTag();
if (JLanguageMultilang::isEnabled() && $lang)
{
$query_lang = "&lang={$lang}";
}
else
{
$query_lang = '';
}
foreach ($subcats as $subcat)
{
$subcat->url = JRoute::_("index.php?view=category&id=" . $subcat->id . $query_lang);
}
return $subcats;
}
}
And we allow the user to sort using the Ordering field by including it within the filter fields on the category view.
site/models/forms/filter_category.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<fields name="list">

name="fullordering"

<option value="ordering DESC">COM_HELLOWORLD_ORDERING_DESC</option>
<option value="greeting ASC">COM_HELLOWORLD_GREETING_ASC</option>
<option value="greeting DESC">COM_HELLOWORLD_GREETING_DESC</option>

Creating a new record on the frontend[edit]
Just to be different from the back end, we'll set the Ordering value of the new record so that it appears at the start.
