Thread Listing by Letter with ABC Navigation Menu
(please nominate for mod of the month)

Should work fine on 3.6x and up

See screenshot: click here

Special thank you to member 'Dead Eddie' who originally created this and gave me permission (via pm) to post this as a mod.

This will automatically display your forum's threads into alphabetical order when a member clicks a specific letter. It shows an ABC menu on top of the forum that you place the code into.

Tested on a fresh Vbulletin install and VBSEO enabled install. Works fine on both.

Description of MOD:

Member clicks on the letter 'A', it will show all threads that begin with the letter A in the thread title, only. Same for "#" symbol. Shows only threads that begin with a number 0-9.

Installation / Upgrade
  1. Upload product attached (Go to admincp > manage products) (select 'allow overwrite' if upgrading)
  2. Edit FORUMDISPLAY template and below $navbar place the following code:
Code:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<td colspan="30" height="16" class="thead">
    <strong>Search topics by first letter</strong><tr align="center">

Hmmm doesn't entirely work :S

Code:
http://elrincondelmanga.com/foro/forumdisplay.php?f=19&letter=s
http://elrincondelmanga.com/foro/forumdisplay.php?f=19&letter=d
There should be far more entries :S

Also what happens if more than the result is larger than the maximum forumdisplay threads? the navigator links are not updated to reflect the query (add &letter=d)

Chadi 04-23-2009 04:36 PM
Nolf, that has nothing to do with the mod (re: 'more entries') because if it did, obviously the other letters would show the same problem as well.

Check your settings carefully including the code you pasted.

As you can see in my live demo, works perfectly fine.

NolF 04-23-2009 05:04 PM
Instead of pasting it where you said (nor that I could find it vbSEO feature?), I placed it directly in the forumdisplay template so I could apply it to many forums quickly and effectively

Code:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<td colspan="30" height="16" class="thead">
    <strong>Buscar series por letra</strong><tr align="center">
        <td class="alt2" width="3%">
        <a rel="nofollow" href="forumdisplay.php?f=$foruminfo[forumid]&letter=s">S</a></td>
        <td class="alt1" style="padding:5px;text-align:center">
        <a rel="nofollow" href="forumdisplay.php?f=$foruminfo[forumid]&letter=d">D</a></td>
</tr></td></table>
That code renders the linked I posted earlier, and essentially is the same you instructed.

The forum I linked to, has 1500 threads, and I know for a fact they all start with different letters, so there should be well over 50 starting with S and far more than two starting with D These letters are examples all letters are affected.

I see no reason why putting the code in the template should make any difference on how the mod works. I also checked if other hacks could be affecting it, and no other mods are using the forumdisplay_query.

Thanks for your assistance

TheLastSuperman 04-23-2009 05:10 PM
Tagged... will check out later today.

Thanks for doing this :D

Sorry but I'm not an actual programmer. Just shared what others helped me create (this mod that is). All I can say is the mod does work. Something in your forum is clearly conflicting with this mod. Proof? My live demo and others confirming that it works. Try it out on a fresh installation / database and you'll see.

tommyturnage 04-24-2009 05:53 AM
Doesn't show ALL the threads under the selected letter

Fix the bugz and Ill click install again...

There is no bug in this mod!! Look my live demo, it works! Fix your setup and then you try again.

tommyturnage 04-27-2009 03:18 AM
It works for you, not me.

I followed the steps and it didnt work.

"I" shouldnt have to "fix" anything

Then I can't help you, but please refrain from being rude. You did not give me anything for free, I gave you this for free. If you don't like the mod, then don't install it. Move on to something else, but don't complain. If it works on my site and many others who installed it, then obviously its not the mod. That's common sense, don't you think so?

I won't give you any support at all. I really don't like your attitude.

l_amhed 04-27-2009 06:38 PM
Lex talionis..Hmmm

I'll give this mod a shot asap.

Use this code. Replace the red forum# portion with your own forum ID number. If you want more than one, separate with a comma. I tested this on my forum and it works flawlessly.

<if condition="in_array($foruminfo[forumid], array(forum#))">
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

Lovely, thanks for the update, works like a charm ^^

MrKramer 05-11-2009 01:49 PM
When I click on 1 of the letters... it only shows all results which is on the 1st page...
For example:
if I have 10 threads with the letter M
and 3 of them are on the 1st page... than only those 3 are visible.

@MrKramer
I added &pp=200 to the title to show 200 results in a page, you can change it to more or less depending how many threads you have. I'm not sure if it is limited by an ACP option which restricts the number of threads in forumdisplay though.

snoop1979 05-16-2009 06:37 PM
Hi there thanks for this mod i've been waiting for something like this for a long time.

I have a lil problem it arrange the threads by the selected letter but when i go to the second page it show the normal second page not alphabetically
vbseo is installed could be that?

Yep same here too (but not VBSEO installed), but I guess I won't have any help cause I didn't click on the 'installed' link since the product does not work as expected for now.

TY TY TY very much.
This is awsome.

There is just 1 more question. Ive orderd my website to set the newest thread on top.
So even when I use this alphabetic search... it will do the same.

Is there some way to keep the forum normal and only when I use this alphabetic search... that it will be orderd alphabetically?

NolF 05-20-2009 12:19 PM

Not sure what you are asking for there :S

Ahhh!! Just add
&sort=title&order=asc

that will sort it alphabetically (thread title) and ascending so the least would look (here is a demo at my site)
Sally eats pie
Sand in my shoes
Socrates was cool

l_amhed 06-02-2009 08:34 AM
But what the point in doing this ?
You click on the "G" letter, you've got a first page with all the G letter starting threads, then you click on the next page link and got a page with threads starting with the letter "D" ...

Things are not supposed to work like this with this (very promising at first) hack.

I'm already aware of the 'other pages' problem/bug.

I'm not a programmer, so I'm trying to get someone to help me fix that.

Installed...and waiting for a fix

yotsume 07-10-2009 06:20 AM
I'll watch this but I can not install this until all bugs are fixed.

Great Concept! Just post your request for a coder to help you in paid support and this will get fixed.

It would be a shame to not get any bugs fixed for this in a timely manner.
