Please help me fix a minor bug in my mod

[Chadi]

I have released this mod a few weeks ago:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=211939

First...

I can't figure out how to get the # to show all threads that begin with a number. I basically want to add a "#" option so that it displays all threads that begin with a number. Problem is, I have no idea what the code/link is supposed to look like.

Fix minor bug...

I've been reported of a minor bug by two installers of my mod. The problem is that when a letter is clicked, it works fine but until you click another page number, it'll lose the effect or "criteria" as some call it, of the letter clicked.

For example, I click the letter A, it'll show the threads that begin with the letter A (which is right), 20 per page by VB's default setting. If you now click any other page number such as page 2 or 3, it'll show the default thread listing/view, for that page - completely losing the criteria of selecting a specific letter.

Thanks in advance for the help

The first part is easy, not sure how to do the second part, although I know what's wrong.

You want to stay away from using # as a value. I would add a line to the style like this

<a rel="nofollow" href="forumdisplay.php?f=$foruminfo[forumid]&letter=num">#</a></td>

Then change the plugin to be this

if($letter == 'num')
{
$hook = " AND LEFT(thread.title, 1) REGEXP ('[0-9]')";
} else {
$hook = " AND LEFT(thread.title, 1) = '$letter'";
}

The second part is happening because you are not adding the letter to the link. You need to add it to the pagenav, probably through the pagenav_complete hook, not sure exactly how you would do it though.

Another thing wrong I see. The page count is off when you select a letter. The page count is still counting all threads, even if they're not shown. So you might have 8 pages shown up top even if you only have 4 threads. I'm not sure if there's a hook to modify the total page count.

Sorry I couldn't help you more.

Thanks. Your plugin code does not work though, tried it and nothing works.

Hmm, it works on my dev forum, are you sure it's in there right? I've edited your product xml, try this out.

Odd that works. Thanks Dylan.

Hopefully someone else can figure out the pagination problem.
