Alphabet: Mystery results
http://dev-vsf.santafe.com/restaurants
Click "Alphabetical" and then choose "S" and "T" - a listing called "Blue Corn Brewery" appears, that doesn't match either letter anywhere. Are you able to explain this?
Here's my code: (note AJAX POST vars) - use inspector when looking at link
{exp:low_alphabet:entries channel="business" category_group='' status="HomeFeatured|featured|open" orderby="random" limit="50" alpha_filter='' search:biz_featured="not IS_EMPTY" }
{title}
{biz_tagline}
{if count=="2"}
{sn_mini_cal}
{/if}
{/exp:low_alphabet:entries}

Low Alphabet expects a filter indicator to be present in the URI, and that should be passed on to the alpha_filter="" parameter. The opening tag should then look something like this:
{exp:low_alphabet:entrieschannel="business"
status="HomeFeatured|featured|open"
limit="50"
search:biz_featured="not IS_EMPTY"
alpha_filter="a"
orderby="title"
}
Here, the alpha_filter="" param will look at the fields given in the orderby="" param, and only show entries where that field starts with the given alpha_filter.
In your code, I can't see how LA would know what to filter by. Also, I'm not 100% sure ordering the entries randomly will work in conjunction with LA.

Sorry, alpha filter is the php post var, and the detail of that is in the console. It appears to work until "s|t" is the option, when Blue Corn shows up.

Wait, are you expecting the alpha_filter="" to take more than 1 value? Because it only takes a single letter.
You can test if it works properly by hard-coding the single letter in the alpha_filter param an see if the correct entries show up.

Ok - so you can't show entries with "s|t" in one list?
Thanks - problem solved.

Correct. But I'll add something like that to my todo-list.
