Please help with Alphabetical search...
Hi all,

I am new to all of this, but I am trying desperately to make dbman work for my website.

I am trying to set up the "A | B | C | D |" search option for my site to browse my artist category.

I have dbman up and running fine.

I have searched this forum and found some posts regarding this, but they just seem to not work out, or some

info is left out on how to make it work. I have tried various ones found here, but most all change the entry in the field

from "Tool" to "<B>T</B>ool" This was the closest I got to it.

I would like it to work similar to how www.letssingit.com does to browse artists.

My field name is Artist and the field number is 3. I would also like to browse Genre (field #2),

but not by alphabetical listing, rather from a link derived from the name of the genre.

I have been racking my brain here reading over and over with no luck, your help would greatly be appreciated.

Smile

To browse by Genre you could setup that field as a select list and use the mod "List Categories"

To get rid of the problem with the bold tags you could just reset:

$db_bold = 1; to $db_bold = 0;

If you search the FAQ noted below and search for Alphabetic list, Alphabetical list, or Alphabet links .. you will find threads that provide the codes for creating your alpha list.

If you still need help, feel free to ask for more help.
