Sorting on Search Results Page

ok – i edited the postslider.php – and for what i like to have i only added just before output article this:
( on Enfold 5.6 in postslider.php just before line 937 )

if( get_post_type( $the_id ) == 'attachment' ){
  $post_class .= 'posttype-attachment ';
}

or more common – if you like to add any post-type as class on articles:

$posttype = get_post_type( $the_id );
$post_class .= 'posttype-'.$posttype. ' ';

so if the post_type is attachment this will be found as class to slide_entry. After that it is easy to change the link behavior to not open the attachment page but to open directly a lightbox.

i saw in the code of postslider.php a lot “post_type” notations so i do not try to use it to disturb any other setting. Thats the reason for posttype ;)
thanks for adding it to core.

how about my other question – is it possible to have a sorting like in ajax search results ?

ok – I thought – inspired by the ajax search results – there would be an easy way to do this.
so don’t put any work into it – obviously no one else has been interested yet.
