Alphabet Grouping for sub-category
 

Hello,

I'm am trying to customize my sub-category listing. What I want to do is have an Alphabet selector at the top of the sub-cat list and the sub-cats to be displayed in two columns. Here's a visual of what I want to do:

ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ


A

Apple Airplane

B

Ball Base
Bat Bee


Etc.....

I want my customers to be able to click on a letter and be taken to the sub-cats that are listed under the letter they clicked on.

Is it possible to do this? Thank you for your help!

you could hard code the links or set up an alphabetical category tree

Hello Shan,

Appologise for stepping in on this post but its the closest to what I am trying to acheive.

Could you please explain more on how to hard code a link to a category.

I think this would be the best solution for something I am looking to do.

I have an image with the alphabet on it (small alpha buttons) and I wanted to image map links to each letter on the image.

I sell a range of Gifts and a lot of return customers know the names of products and this would be a great thing for them i believe.

I dont want to show a category in the menu with the letters a to z.

Is this possible to achive and could you please share with me how I would go about hard codding this. Should I create a category but no enable it so that it does not appear on the categories menu?

THanks in advance Shan :-)

Alphabet selector
 

Did anyone ever figure out how to do this. I want to do this on my site, but can't figure out how to.

I'd also be interested in something like this. Anyone got any idea on what this would involve?

Would you have to go in and actually do the html code for links that jump the page and <a href=""> codes to the category pages, making sure to update your list every time you wanted to add a new category?

If this is the only way to do it, that would kinda stink. :( Honestly, it would seem there should be some way to get the code to recognize the category names by alphabetical order and sort them as such into groups.

But then again, maybe I"m just use to expecting a lot out of x-cart. *smirk* It is a spiffy store program.
