Alphabet bar does not work

You are correct, it has a misplaced quotation mark. At line 719, you should see:

function theme_glossary_overview_item($term) {
  if (isset($term->firstletter)) {
    $output .= '<a id="letter"'. $term->firstletter .'"></a>';
  }

Change the 3rd line to:

function theme_glossary_overview_item($term) {
  if (isset($term->firstletter)) {
    $output .= '<a id="letter'. $term->firstletter .'"></a>';
  }

(Remove the quote after the word 'letter' and it should work fine.)

Fix committed.

Why did you set this to "Won't fix?" I'll do my best to fix it.

My glossary vocabulary is relatively small (26 terms), but I'm not seeing a blank page. I will agree that it is probably not working correctly. On my subset pages, the terms descriptions are not shown - that definitely needs to be fixed.

Also, I'm wondering if maybe I should add an option to show only the letters that are used rather than all of them.

Try this patch, please.

Hmm, the patch applies fine to my system.

Fix committed. Try 1.7, please.

Is Cyrillic a multi-byte character set? Have you had a look at http://drupal.org/node/48966? I honestly don't understand much of what's in there, but I guess I have to get busy and do some more research.

I've been trying to understand everything in the other post. I'm sorry that I'm just not very well versed on translation issues.

If I included that code in the module, would it break anything, like English?

And there are other parts to it. Like do I need to change the "range" statement? I'm guessing it really is necessary to use the "drupal_" version just in case someone doesn't have the necessary PHP support.

Well, I can code, but I can't speak other languages (I have tried).

You can try your hand at a translation file.

I'm trying to work on the alphabar problem and I'll be contacting some of those that I know work with translation stuff to see if they can help. That may very well be why the page-per-letter is not working for you (it works just fine for me - in English). I wonder if some of the other people who are using this in a different (but still Latin) language are having your problem.

I just did a quick read of the above on nancyw's request. Drupal has the drupal_substr() function, with which you can get the first UTF char from any string (or any substring obviously). (I don't know how the alphabet bar itself is formed, but since the alphabet differs per language, it should be a setting, if not).

I am working on it. Please be patient; I am just volunteer labor.

Thanks, Geko. I'll see if I can get it to apply to my latest code.

I think I now understand part of the confusion here. Page-per-letter does work, but I think we have different expectations. When you first go into the glossary listing, you will see all terms. If you then click on a letter, you will see only the terms that start with that letter (page-per-letter). I think this was changed some time ago because of another issue, but I don't recall specifically.

Do we need to revisit the definition of page-per-letter? Do we need a new setting to control this.

Please try the latest 1.x-dev version.
