load order for elements in contentArea?

[cbsarge]

Not sure if anyone is still watching this forum but, thought I would ask anyways. I've started a bit of a revamp of the way my game looks and part of that has caused some annoying CSS issues. One of them would probably be a lot easier to deal with if I could control the load order of the elements in the main contenArea div. Can anyone help me out with where that is defined?

Thanks!

Hmm can't remember. it is not top to bottom?

[cbsarge]

Well, it loads all of the modules that have home page elements but, I was wondering if there is a way to control what order they load in.

Yes! It control through the database

Yes! It control through the database

Thanks Kal. Can you expand on that a little bit?

I want to say it is one of a few things, I just don’t remember which one exactly

1. Like Kal said, it’s loaded by order in the database which means in the order the module was installed
2. Alphabetically

In any case you can look to see where the hook is created like in lib.php and use something like u*sort kind of like how the main menu is sorted by the sort order parameter in the constructor by creating a file or even using the xml file and adding a sort order there

My bad. It was the stats that you can sort by order on the database. For the menu itself you have to script it. The best way to get an example is to look at illusion “TOWN Modules” he list all the script on how to loop the content menu or grab it one by one.

Here is the town module script.
I can upload the script because it was set as a free module by illusion.
