Sort order on Remote Website

[brianboru82]

Thank you for the new update to the platform, I appreciate all your work!

It would be nice if we could sort the timelapses, keograms, and startrail library on the remote website. Especially if it has a ton of images on it, it's a bit of a chore to scroll all the way down to the bottom to see the last night's footage.

Thanks!

Check out thumbnailsortorder on the Allsky Website Settings page.

Thank you for that; I didn't see that section before. I have updated the remote website files to the current version, and tried changing the sort order to both ascending and descending, and I don't see any change in the website appearance. I have checked the configuration.json on the remote website, and it is getting updated.

Did you run remoteWebsiteInstall.sh or just manually copy the files? The script should always be used.

You may need to force a refresh of your browser window to see the change via SHIFT-F5.

The instructions said to copy all the files over from the /html/allsky/ directory, and then run the remoteWebsiteInstall.sh from the pi, so I followed that. Refreshing didn't appear to help.

Yikes! I need to fix the documentation to say NOT to copy files to the remote Website since remoteWebsiteInstall.sh does that for you. It doesn't cause a problem doing it manually, but it's not needed.

Just so I am clear, your Pi is running v2024.12.06 and so is your remote Website, and changing thumbnailsortorder in the remote_configuration.json file in WebUI's Editor page doesn't make any difference when viewing the archived keograms, startrails, or timelapses on the remote Website?

What's the URL to your Website?

[brianboru82]

All good! I know it's a big effort.

Yes, I updated the thumbnail sort order in that .json, and it doesn't appear to update the sort order on either the local website on the pi or the remote website. (I updated both config json files for each website).

My website is here: https://bw-reka.synology.me/~allsky/

I created Issue #4111 for the sort order not working.
After looking at the code I also realized it's supposed to say the sort order at the top of the page and doesn't.
I'm closing this Discussion item. Please post any additional comments to Issue 4111.

Thanks for reporting this.
