I'm presently working on a site where a view is far from fully populated, so the alpha pager has only a few letters before "All" (E, F, All).
I realized how confused my users might be by this sparse information. There is no option to label the pager in order to clarify the function (but I'm sure i can do this with my templates).
My request is that there be an option for the pager to display all letters, not just the clickable ones leading to content. If they had a separate class, they could be styled to be very small, gray and discrete. And of course not linked. I think that this will also make the function of the pager instantaneously clear to the users.
I will try to write my own, but if anyone else has done this already, I'd appreciate a patch.

You can do this by overriding the theme function theme_alpha_pager.

  1. Copy theme_alpha_pager from views_alpha_pager.module and put it in your theme template.php.
  2. Change the name to phptemplate_alpha_pager (or yourtheme_alpha_pager)
  3. Write some custom code to display all letters
