user sorting on ftl template

[trelofysikos]

I would like the user to be able to sort documents on my template by clicking on the row title.

to do this i' m using links on the row title that pass an variable on the url, like this

<a href="/alfresco/navigate/browse/workspace/SpacesStore/${space.id}?sort=id">ID</a>‍

on the FTL i' m trying to get this variable by using this code

<#assign keys = args?keys>
<#list keys as arg>     
   ${arg}
</#list>  ‍‍‍‍

but it is not working. I have also tried

<#assign keys = sort?keys>
<#list keys as arg>     
   ${arg}
</#list>  ‍‍‍‍

How can i get this variable from the url ? Is there an error in the link url?

Thank you for your time and effort into this.

I finally decided to use a client javascript sort script because (I think) freemarker doesn't support descending sort
and also I was having these request problems.

Just a sample code on how to sort in a ftl template:

<#list space.childrenByXPath[".//*[subtypeOf('cm:content')]"]?sort_by(["properties", "cm:created"])  as child>‍

Just read the excelent ftl documentation to find out the details.

ok thanks
i just just read the documentation for freemarker sort and didn't find anything.

but still i can't solve the get args from url with freemarker. Can anyone help me with that ?

+1…. For me is the same now i m try to build a webscript for getting a url param……

Hey guys through webscripts i can get the URL params

But all other rootnodes such companyHome are not visible.
So at the end if someone use a ftl for presenting somethings through <r:template has no way to use url parameters. So ok that really strange
