[SOLVED] Filter User list with Starting Letter

Hello,

my customer wants to filter his user list with the beginning letters of the lastname.
So there should be linked letters A, B, C, D, E, F, G,... at the top of the user list. When I click on a letter i.e. "F" I want to view a user list with lastname starting with "F".

What is the best way to do it?
Where in my template would I need to start?

Thanks,
Seagul

There is no such feature to do this. You'd need to make a userlist for every letter of the alphabet that has a filter to filter out anyone who doesn't have a last name beginning with the letter (you'll need to use an Advanced filter for this). Once done you'll need to add HTML to every lists description that links to each of the individual letter userlists. It's probably easier to just have Last Name searchable though.

Thanks for your detailed answer. I was looking for something like this.
I guess I will setup the lists in list-manager with
filter: 'lastname' LIKE 'A%'
and then somehow do the html-links in the template.

Thanks

Using multiple lists is what another user did and seams to work well. Also instead of adding the HTML to a template they used a Custom HTML module (module type built into Joomla) then just added it to a module position above the userlist. You could also add it to each userlist using description, but then every list a-z would need the HTML in its description.

The module position is a really good idea! I will solve it like this.
Thanks
