Solution?:
code.google.com/p/flexicontent/i ... tail?id=51

do some test and report on this topic please

Just started noticing this problem on our site as well. www.warnerpacific.edu/directory/staff/

It appears to go back at least a month as I tested this with a month old backup and still see the problem. Was this ever resolved?

I'm using FlexiContent 1.5.4 stable r558
and sh404SEF 2.2.7.981
BTW, I did try disabling SEF and it still occurs.

TRY this:

Goto to your flexicontent template folder:

components/com_flexicontent/templates/mycustomtmpl/

edit file category_alpha.php
and replace: with
Load your page and test.

If it works repeat process for all your FC templates

regards

I made the suggested change on line 23 as well as line 28
I'm not quite sure if it actually fixed anything though. I can do an initial alpha-search, but it seems a little hit or miss on if it returns (accurate) results if you click on one of the letters a second time. For example, I just click on "L" and it returned all the results, not just the filtered "L" results. I just clicked on "Q" and it shows all the "N" results. I just clicked "T" and it's still showing the "N".
It also seems to be hit or miss on if it works in Firefox.
Any other suggestions?

What you describe i have seen before, the second click will return the results of the previous click

Can you test with SEF OFF?

If the modified Alpha-Index works with SEF OFF,
maybe you can configure your SEF to make it work,
maybe clean temporary cache of SEF component will help.

Be careful with SEF component not to mess it up ...

I'm taking over for charrod. He's a co-worker of mine.

So you think this is an issue with SEF?

Problem is if I disable SEF all the URLs go back to the homepage.

How does one flush the temporary SEF cache? where is that? I know about Tool>Clean Cache and Tools>Purge Expired Cache.
I did try using the Purge option within sh404SEF. That doesn't seem to work either.

If it worked initially, but now does not, then it must be related to some kind of caching,
- joomla caching or
- some of caching at the SEF component

The following solution will produce unique URLs per letter and thus will make the ALPHA Index work properly:
at the components/com_flexicontent/templates/mytemplate/category_alpha.php

change line: to
if the above does not work then this should work:
change line to:
echo "<a class=\"fc_alpha_index\" href=\"javasript:;\" onclick=\"document.getElementById('alpha_index').value='".$letter."'; document.getElementById('adminForm').action+='?letter=$letter'; document.getElementById('adminForm').submit();\">".strtoupper($letter)."";

The last solution will work only with SEF on
