A-Z entries filtering not working

Garabedium 28 Sep 2013 20:17 problem, complete

Low Alphabet newbie here with a problem and a question:

From the Low Alphabet docs and forum posts, I've arrived at the following code to set up an A-Z list and filter entries accordingly. I'm getting the A-Z list and entries, but the entries aren't getting filtered. I tried using dynamic='no' with no success.

Q: Also, is it possible to limit the A-Z list based on member group_id? If I specify 'group_id', A-Z list still counts all member entries from all groups, instead of just those member entries from group_id x. (group id filtering works with low_alphabet:entries).

Any help much appreciated!

{!--A-Z List--}

{exp:low_alphabet:azlist channel="zoo_visitor" alpha_field="title" alpha_ignore="the|a" numbers="no" status="not closed" show_empty="yes"}

{if count == 1}<ul class="inline-list">
<li><a href="{path="{segment_1}/{segment_2}"}" title="All">All</a></li>
{/if}

<li>
{if '{low_alphabet_entries}' == '0'}{low_alphabet_label}{if:else}<a href="{path="{segment_1}/{segment_2}/{low_alphabet_url}"}" title="{low_alphabet_entries}">{low_alphabet_label}</a>{/if}
</li>

{if count == total_results}</ul>{/if}
{/exp:low_alphabet:azlist}


{!--Entries --}

{exp:low_alphabet:entries channel="zoo_visitor" group_id="6" status="not closed" parse="inward"}

<h3><a href="{title_permalink='/some-template/entry/'}">{title}</a></h4>
<p> {exp:word_limit total="15"} {entry_description} {/exp:word_limit}</p>

{/exp:low_alphabet:entries}

I'm running EE 2.6.1 and Zoo Visitor 1.3.29.

    Don't forget the alpha_filter="" parameter in the low_alphabet:entries tag.

    All available filters for the AZ list are mentioned in the docs. That doesn't include group_id at the moment, I'm afraid.

    Do'h, alpha_filter did the trick, should have spotted that. Thank you for the quick reply!

    Can I put in a feature request for group_id filter? Would there be any other way of doing it?

    Thanks again.

    Ah, nm regarding workaround. Zoo Visitor uses statuses for different member groups, filtering by status works just as well!

    Hopefully this helps someone else w/Zoo Visitor in the same situation:

    status="your-specific-member-status"

    Thanks! Consider this thread closed :)
