problem with blog type items ordering option

[Simon Georget]

Hi,

I have the following configuration in my blog.md file :

---
title: 'Les actualités'
blog_url: actualites
menu: Actualités
body_classes: 'header-lite fullwidth blogstyling'
bg_color: '#E85C5C'
slug: actualites
sitemap:
    changefreq: monthly
content:
    items: '@self.children'
    order:
        by: date
        dir: desc
    limit: '15'
    pagination: '1'
feed:
    description: 'Les actualités de la Fondation Geomanum'
    limit: 10
metadata:
    description: 'Suivre l''actualité de la Fondation Geomanum'
pagination: '1'
cache_enable: false
child_type: default
process:
    markdown: true
    twig: false
robots: index
    
---

But the order parameter is not working and the limit / pagination neither ... any Clue ?

Hi.
What theme are you using?

[Simon Georget]

Hi, I use hydrogen theme with Gantry 5

[pmoreno.rodriguez]

Are you using the default contentarray particle included with hydrogen or any other?

[Simon Georget]

I did not add anything myself, so I guess !

This markdown code, is about your last image? The blog page is based in blog list template but your image refers to blog item.

[Simon Georget]

yes, actually, I use blog

I always edit manually files ... and doing it through the UI generates a big mess. I don't use blog-item neither particle, I use "blog". Forget my screenshot - sorry.

I have tested on a local page based on Gantry and Hydrogen and my blog page works as it should, that is:

• In the blog with descending date order, the most recent pages would be the first to be displayed.
• In the blog with ascending order, it would be the opposite.

I can only think of clearing the cache or clearing the temporary files of your browser, because it seems to work fine.

This is my blog.md:

---
title: 'Blog Page'
blog_url: blog
sitemap:
    changefreq: monthly
    priority: 1.03
content:
    items:
        - '@self.children'
    order:
        by: date
        dir: desc
    limit: 5
    pagination: true
    show_date: true
    leading: 0
    columns: 2
    url_taxonomy_filters: true
feed:
    description: 'Sample Blog Description'
    limit: 10
pagination: true

It should behave as described but it does not.

Can you show me your date format ?

It should behave as described but it does not.

Can you show me your date format ?

This is my date config in system.yaml:

dateformat:
    default: null
    short: 'jS M Y'
    long: 'F jS \a\t g:ia'

By default Gantry uses {{ page.date|date(config.system.pages.dateformat.default) }} in partials\blog_item.html.twig`.

There's something I don't understand yet. In Gantry the blog template does not exist, instead blog_list exists. Therefore, I don't understand how you have a blog.md file instead of a blog_list.md.

[Simon Georget]

I mean, the date format in your item.md files (in blog folder). This is mine :

date: 23-02-2024
publish_date: 23-02-2024

There's something I don't understand yet. In Gantry the blog template does not exist, instead blog_list exists. Therefore, I don't understand how you have a blog.md file instead of a blog_list.md.

I set it manually. But I've also tried to set it through gantry using blog_list / blog_item. Still I got the same error.
