Re: [Tiki-users] Browsing Pagination by alphabet letter instead of by page number

Hi Alessandro

Nice idea, the first initial is indexed separately so would be available in the search results. the file that does this is

    https://gitlab.com/tikiwiki/tiki/-/blob/master/lib/smarty_tiki/block.pagination_links.php

and there's no sign of being able to do initials in there so far, just show_numbers. So it would be possible i think to add a show_initials option, but decidedly non-trivial...

Unless anyone else knows otherwise?

p.s. however, i did do a project once where we used the alphabet for navigation, but i think i did it with a list plugin and a parameter for each group of letters and it looked a bit similar, something like:

url: searchpagename?initials=A+OR+B+OR+C

and then in the page

{LIST()}
  {filter field="title_initial" content="{{initials}}"}
{LIST}

[{{page}}?initials=A+OR+B+OR+C|A-C] | [{{page}}?initials=D+OR+E+OR+F+OR+G+OR+H|D-H] etc
