"Sort by" links instead of Dropdown working on page refresh

[Rollaen]

Hello everyone


I am trying to change select options by links as described in topic: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/76921-solved-sort-by-links-instead-of-dropdown/

When I change the original code:

<form id="productsSortForm{if isset($paginationId)}_{$paginationId}{/if}" action="{$request|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}" class="productsSortForm">

      <label for="selectProductSort{if isset($paginationId)}_{$paginationId}{/if}">{l s='Sort by'}</label>
      <select id="selectProductSort{if isset($paginationId)}_{$paginationId}{/if}" class="selectProductSort form-control">
            {if !$PS_CATALOG_MODE}
            <option value="price:asc"{if $orderby eq 'price' AND $orderway eq 'asc'} selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='Price: Lowest first'}</option>
            <option value="price:desc"{if $orderby eq 'price' AND $orderway eq 'desc'} selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='Price: Highest first'}</option>
         {/if}

         {if $PS_STOCK_MANAGEMENT && !$PS_CATALOG_MODE}
            <option value="quantity:desc"{if $orderby eq 'quantity' AND $orderway eq 'desc'} selected="selected"{/if}>{l s='In stock'}</option>
         {/if}
      </select>

</form>

With this code:

{l s='sort by'}
<a href="{$link->addSortDetails($request, 'price', 'asc')|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{l s='price: lowest first'}
<a href="{$link->addSortDetails($request, 'price', 'desc')|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{l s='price: highest first'}
<a href="{$link->addSortDetails($request, 'quantity', 'desc')|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}">{l s='in-stock first'}

Nevertheless selecting additional option from layered-sort list or on page refresh or swapping to another (i.e. 2 page) results in resetting the chosen link.


Thanks in advance for any help (PS version 1.6.1.6)
