Side bar widget showing portfolio items

Hey hannelynne,
Thanks for your question to modify the newsbox widget (Latest News) you will need to install a child theme, Read about using a Child Theme otherwise your customizations will be lost the next time you update.
Then in your child theme directory, via FTP, add a directory “widgets” and copy the file from the parent theme to your new directory: \enfold\framework\php\widgets\widget-classes\class-avia-newsbox.php
Then add this code to your child theme functions.php:

function custom_avf_widget_loader_widget_classes_newsbox( array $default_widgets )
{
	$namespace = '\\aviaFramework\widgets\\';

	// Create a folder widgets in enfold-child:     enfold-child/widgets
	$path = trailingslashit( get_stylesheet_directory() ) . 'widgets/';


	// Replace link to original file with your child theme modified newsbox widget
	$default_widgets['newsbox'] = array(
												'class'	=> $namespace . 'avia_newsbox',
												'file'	=> $path . 'class-avia-newsbox.php'
											);

	
	return $default_widgets;
}

add_filter( 'avf_widget_loader_widget_classes', 'custom_avf_widget_loader_widget_classes_newsbox', 10, 1 );

Now you are ready to customize your class-avia-newsbox.php file.
To make the list alphabetical look around line 143 for this: $additional_loop = new WP_Query( "cat={$cat}&posts_per_page={$count}" );
and change to this: $additional_loop = new WP_Query("orderby=title&order=ASC&cat=".$cat."&posts_per_page=".$count);
Then to change how many will show look around line 395 for this: for ($i = 1; $i <= 20; $i++ )
and change to this: for ($i = 1; $i <= 50; $i++ ) now your option will go to 50, adjust to suit.
Please note that you will need to resave the widget with the new setting before it will work.
Please ensure to copy the code from the forum and not an email notification so the symbols are not converted.

Hi,
Can you add the child theme ▸ Read about using a Child Theme
and then include an admin login & FTP access in the Private Content area, I can do the steps above for you.

Hi,
Ok, we will leave this thread open to hear back from you.

Hi,
Thanks, I added the customization above but I believe the widget needs to be opened and resaved before it will take effect and I don’t have a site admin login so you will have to try.

Best regards,
Mike

Hi,
Thanks for the login, I see that you are using the Latest Portfolio the original customization above was for the Latest News widget, they both use the class-avia-newsbox.php file, but call different lines of code.
So everything above can stay and we will change around line 154 look for:

$new_query = array(
	'posts_per_page'	=> $count,
	'post_type'		=> $this->avia_post_type
);

and change to:

$new_query = array(
	'posts_per_page'	=> $count,
	'post_type'		=> $this->avia_post_type,
	'orderby'           => 'title',
	'order'             => 'ASC'
);

and around line 169 look for:

$new_query = array(
	'posts_per_page'	=> $count,
	'tax_query'			=> array(
							array(
								'taxonomy'	=> $this->avia_term,
								'field'		=> 'id',
								'terms'		=> explode( ',', $cat ),
								'operator'	=> 'IN'
							)
						)
					);

and change to:

$new_query = array(
	'orderby'           => 'title',
	'order'             => 'ASC',
	'posts_per_page'	=> $count,
	'tax_query'			=> array(
							array(
								'taxonomy'	=> $this->avia_term,
								'field'		=> 'id',
								'terms'		=> explode( ',', $cat ),
								'operator'	=> 'IN'
							)
						)
					);

I did this for you and now your Latest Portfolio is alphabetically, I just wanted to explain this for future readers.
