Is it possible to customize the "Order" drop down list to include whichever Input Field you would like? maybe by a check box? also is it possible to add your own Input Fields? When you enter in a Reference Manually? This would be a wonderful addition as well.

You are Brilliant! Keep up the wonderful work

Thinking about it, if you wanted to customise the order drop down list you would only need to make a few changes to the php files in the component, I would be happy to talk you through this, or even make the changes for you if you tell me which fields you wanted to order by.  Adding new fields dynamically however would require a complete rewrite of the component.

The part of the php file that needs changing is:

jombib.php line 499:

   $order[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'ryear', _ORDER_DROPDOWN_DD );
   $order[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'year', _ORDER_DROPDOWN_DA );
   $order[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'title', _ORDER_DROPDOWN_TA );
   $order[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'rtitle', _ORDER_DROPDOWN_TD );
   $order[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'author', 'Author asc' );
   $order[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'rauthor', 'Author desc' );
   $order[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'journal', 'Journal asc' );
   $order[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'rjournal', 'Journal desc' );
   $order[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'type', 'Type' );

and jombib.php line 584:

function _orderby_sec( $orderby ) {
   switch ( $orderby ) {
      case 'year':
         $orderby = 'year';
         break;

      case 'ryear':
         $orderby = 'year DESC';
         break;

      case 'title':
         $orderby = 'title';
         break;

      case 'rtitle':
         $orderby = 'title DESC';
         break;

      case 'journal':
         $orderby = 'journal';
         break;

      case 'rjournal':
         $orderby = 'journal DESC';
         break;

      case 'author':
         $orderby = '#__bib_auth.last';
         break;

      case 'rauthor':
         $orderby = '#__bib_auth.last DESC';
         break;

      case 'type':
         $orderby = 'type';
         break;


      default:
         $orderby = 'year DESC';
         break;
   }

   return $orderby;
}

For example to add the 'school' field to the list you would need to add the lines:

$order[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'school', 'School asc' );
$order[] = mosHTML::makeOption( 'rschool', 'School desc' );

to the area starting at line 499, and:

case 'school':
         $orderby = 'school;
         break;

case 'rschool':
         $orderby = 'school DESC';
         break;

to the switch case statement on line 585.

Hope that helps

You can give it a crack.  Make sure that you rename the fields in the xml file as well as all the php files

Also!

Sorry Mark, forgot to Add under Authors, I need the Author's to have Contact Phone Number as well.

Do you think modifying the fields would cause instability? Can a person still import bibtex files, but ofcourse the labels would be different.

Thanks again
