extend the alpha index was created by Janiba

Hello,

I would like to extend the alpha index and for example to show the content which beginns whith the letters "Ó" and "Ω" when you click on the letter "O" in the alpha index bar. For now, the letter "O" in the alpha index bar is empty althought I have some content which beginns with the letter "Ó".

Thank you for your help!

$letters = array('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g', 'h', 'i', 'j', 'k', 'l', 'm', 'n', 'o', 'p', 'q', 'r', 's', 't', 'u', 'v', 'w', 'x', 'y', 'z');

is not what I am looking for. I don't need any more Letters. I want just to extend the way how existing letters behave. For example: The Letter "O" should react also on letters "Ó" and "Ω".

I don't see how I can make that change in category_alpha.php!?
Please Help!

You'll have to modify the model if you're not going to add any specific letters for your particular language to the alpha index in the template.

components/com_flexicontent/models/category.php
Lines 359-371

Code:

$session  =& JFactory::getSession();
		$alpha = JRequest::getVar('letter');
		if($alpha===NULL) {
			$alpha =  $session->get($option.'.category.letter');
		}else{
			$session->set($option.'.category.letter', $alpha);
		}
		if ($alpha == '0') {
			$where .= ' AND LOWER( i.title ) LIKE '.$this->_db->Quote( $this->_db->getEscaped( $alpha, true ).'%', false );
		}		
		elseif (!empty($alpha)) {
			$where .= ' AND LOWER( i.title ) LIKE '.$this->_db->Quote( $this->_db->getEscaped( $alpha, true ).'%', false );
		}

You'll need to modify that last elseif and the Like clause to suit your needs.

Of course this is a hack of a core model file so backup backup backup.

The OOP way would be to extend the FlexicontentModelCategory and override how _buildQuery gets it's where clause with your own _buildItemWhere method.
