CMS Made Simple Forums

i am not sure if this exists already. i would like to know if there is a module that deals with listings in a alphabetical manor. i know that the news module already can list all articles by their starting letter.

• ART
• BEAUTY
• CARE
• DRAMA

etc

is there a way that a comprehensive list can be displayed by category? so all categories will be listed with their subjects in alphabetical order?

ART

• AS Level - Art History
  A2 Level - Art & History
  Btec 1st Art & Design Diploma
  Btec Nat Art & Design Certificate

Also a little like the glossary can there be letter splits so that all courses under D or E can be clicked on to be viewed.

cheers

See help of news...
News have catagories.


For pagination by chars you must do some nice templating for list view...

If I've understood you correctly, I solved this problem not long ago with the help of a posting on this forum.

Open file action.browsecat.php (should be in folder modules/News)

Around line 31 replace this line:

$query .= ' ORDER by hierarchy';

With this line:

$query .= ' ORDER by long_name';

To show the list of categories in their alphabetical order put this in your page or page template:

{news browsecat="1" category="Articles*" sortby="news_title"}

Check News module help for other parameters. Articles is the parent name of the category, the asterisk * shows all the child categories (sub-categories).

See this page for a live example of a category list in alphabetical order:

This isn't a valid solution anymore.  News has been significantly changed, and it should be possible to do this without any code hacking.  Using browsecat, properly setup category hierarchy and a little smarty magic, it should be pretty easy to do.

Good luck.
