Low Alphabet headings not displaying

James Woodman 25 Feb 2014 20:56 problem, complete

For some reason that is not working for me. Outputs the entries but none of the labels or headings.

{exp:low_alphabet:entries
channel="manufacturers"
alpha_ignore="the|a"
numbers="after"
orderby="title"
sort="asc"
disable="categories|member_data|pagination"
}

{if count == 1}Manufacturers{/if}
{if low_alphabet_heading}
{low_alphabet_label}

{/if}
{title}
{if low_alphabet_footer}

{/if}
{/exp:low_alphabet:entries}

    Okay, what are your EE, Low Alphabet and PHP versions? Also, what other add-ons do you have installed?

  2. James Woodman 25 Feb 2014 21:05

    EE 2.7.3
    LA 1.1.0
    PHP 5.4.22

    I have a lot of other plugins installed:

    Structure
    Better workflow
    playa
    matrix
    ce image
    freeform
    zoo flexible admin
    wygwam
    quicksave

    If you add the {low_alphabet_label} variable to the low_alphabet:entries tag -- not in a conditional, just straight in for every entry -- does it parse, or does it remain unparsed?

  4. James Woodman 25 Feb 2014 21:09

    No, it doesn't

    Then there's an add-on conflict.

    I'll need to take a look myself. Please send SuperAdmin login credentials to hi at gotolow dot com if you can.

    just sent. Thanks.

    I've changed Low Alphabet's extension priority so the extension fires after Better Workflow (which uses the same hook). Apparently, BWF negates the changes LA makes, but changing the priority fixes that.

    Great. Thanks so much for the help.

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue, and was going to implement this solution to fix it, but I see there are 13 BWF extension classes in my extensions table, with priorities ranging from 8 to 100. Should I set Low Alphabet's priority to 101? Or is there a particular BWF class I need to have it launch behind for it to work? I see that the BWF on_channel_entries_query_result uses the same hook as Low Alphabet, and is set to priority 8, so can I just set Low Alphabet's priority to 9?

    Thank you!

    Yes, you should look at the channel_entries_query_result hook.
