Dropdown items order

How can I arrange the items in a page dropdown so they’re not in alphabetical order but instead the order I want to display.

Hi Ed

I believe you are using KTL you will need to turn this feature off. You can find how to do this here.

Craig,
Can you point me to which onw I turn off?

EdCooper15510 · March 17, 2024, 3:20pm

This is what I have in API and CODE.
I’m not a dev so can you please give me what I need to accomplish this?

Copy the contents of the “KTL_Customization.js” file and paste it immediately underneath the KTL loader.

You can then set “sortedmenus” to false.

You can also switch off other pre-baked features that may not work for you.

For instance I like to have “selTextOnFocus” set to false so when you open a form and click into a field it doesn’t select all the text.

github.com

cortexrd/Knack-Toolkit-Library/blob/prod/KTL_Customization.js

//This file is a template that shows how to customize the KTL for your application.
//Insert the code below in the Javascript pane of your app's Builder, just after the loader code.
//Once the KTL is done loading, it will jump in the ktlReady function and apply your desired settings.
//All code must be located inside the ktlReady section.
//See GitHub's Wiki for more details.

//Your app's version.
window.APP_VERSION = '1.0.0';

window.ktlReady = function (appInfo = {}) {
    var ktl = new Ktl($, appInfo);

    //KTL Setup - BEGIN
    ktl.scenes.setCfg({
        versionDisplayName: 'MyApp', //Short version of your app name. Leave empty to hide it. Comment whole line for actual app name.
    })

    ktl.core.setCfg({
        developerNames: ['Firstname Lastname'], //Add your name here to get super powers!

Thanks Carl for following it up.

EdCooper15510 · March 17, 2024, 5:14pm

Thanks again!!

EdCooper15510 · March 17, 2024, 6:25pm

Wow! This is great stuff!

Can you explain this:
ktl.core.setCfg({
developerNames: [‘Firstname Lastname’], //Add your name here to get super powers!

Hi Ed you can add your name as it appears in the app.
It means you can bypass some of the added security around the dev pop up for non developers.

EdCooper15510 · March 17, 2024, 8:47pm

Ah. Thanks.

EdCooper15510 · March 17, 2024, 8:55pm

Is there a way I can get notified if there are changes or new features added or a roadmap? This stuff is great.

CSWinnall · March 17, 2024, 9:13pm

Yes you can sign up to GitHub and follow this discussion

CSWinnall · March 17, 2024, 9:15pm

There is also the Wiki here

EdCooper15510 · March 17, 2024, 10:10pm

Thanks Craig.
You’ve been very helpful in our quest to make our apps the best they can be.

Using the KTL, when a user saves a filter, is that local to the user or does it show for all users?

CSWinnall · March 23, 2024, 5:42pm

Hi Ed

It’s local to the user. There is an advanced option called public filters but that takes quite a bit of setup.

Craig

EdCooper15510 · March 23, 2024, 5:54pm

Ok thanks Craig.

Ed Cooper

EdCooper15510 · March 23, 2024, 6:11pm

Ok thanks
