Answered Alphabetical Output of Ressources like Glossary with getressources? Display only first letter of ressource.

Hi modX friends!
Im planning to do the following: Creating a list (from ressources) that is sorted and displayed like a glossary -
The output should be sorted alphabetically and the list should only have to starting letters in it. Like this:
a b c d and so on...
Can anyone tell me how to tell get ressources to only display the first letter of a ressource and then link it to the ressource?
Thanks a lot!
Sven

To limit the characters use the limit output modifier in your tpl set to 1:



And to sort alphabetically use this in your getresouces call:

nice! thank you both for your answers! Will try that and let you know how it worked out!
Thanks!

Hi Bob!
The SiteAtoZ is just great! Is there a way to have the read more links to point to another site? Now both - the header and the infos are on the same site - i want my a-z list (header) in my footer of every page and my List with the items on another page. Would be great if this is possible!

Thanks!

Hi Bob! Easy - found it
Yes put the doc id to the snippet and now it works great! Nice work!!!
Thanks a lot!

I'm glad it worked for you.

HEy BOB! Yes - its working great for me! But there is one thing that is not 100% working at the moment. Im using 2 tpls for my AtoZ List - I have an odd and one even template but unfortunately this is not 100% accurate:


&tpl=`AzItemTpl` &tpl_n2=`AzItemTplOdd`

The output seems to be irregular. For 90% of my elemets its working but every now and then it uses the wrong template - see my attachment. Am i doing something wrong or what can i do to check why this happens?
Thanks again!!

flanger, are you using *my* SiteAtoZ extra? AFAIK, it only takes one Tpl chunk. It doesn't do odd/even or Tpl_n stuff (though it should). Maybe someone else has updated the code (if so, give me the snippet code ).

Yes - i didn't modify the code and just used your extra. It takes tpl_n already but with this little problem as described above .
