alpha_field not working (Low Alphabet 1.04 with EE 2.1.5)

stinhambo 27 Jun 2011 02:58 problem, complete

Hi Low,

{exp:low_alphabet:azlist channel="directory" alpha_field="last"} seems to work ok but

{exp:low_alphabet:entries channel="directory" alpha_field="last" alpha_filter="{segment_2}" orderby="low_alphabet_field" disable="categories|member_data|pagination"}

Only outputs entries by title and not the alpha field defined.

So if I click on A, B, Z etc it show entries with a title that begins with that letter and not the last custom field.

   Hey Steven,
   
   Try setting the orderby="" parameter to last instead of low_alphabet_field.

   Ok let me try :)

   Sweet works! Perhaps I'm a bit dumb but I didn't realise I was meant to replace low_alphabet_field with the custom field.

   Well, the workings of the orderby="" param did change ever so slightly with the last update, to account for ordering by multiple fields. That might have caused the confusion. :)
   
   Glad it's working now, anyway.

   Perhaps you can update the docs for simpletons like me. Perhaps an example with a custom field...
