Issue Summary

I have looked everywhere for a solution to this and cannot find it through Google or on here. Basically, I would like to create a link directory page that looks like the master index page that this module creates. I am using a CCK for the link and would simple want the page to display the links with the title as the link text, and have them on a page that breaks them out alphabetically by the title text. Just like your index page. Is there anyway to implement this with your module or can you point in the direction of other modules that might help. I much prefer the way your module formats an index as compared to using the views glossary view type. I don't want the users to have click each letter. I like that your module shows everything.

On the top of my head, I have no clue how you could do that. Views would work, but you'd need to create a page with the letters that exists... and edit that page whenever a new letter is added (so you have to keep up with what happening, especially if some letters are later removed.)

Anyway, with views + argument (the letter) you can create a list for one letter. Then you create a node and in there you use Insert views (i.e. the [view:...] tag).

Now, I'm not totally sure you can use an argument such as the 1st letter and make that work. Maybe...

Otherwise, you can hire my company to create a module for you. http://www.m2osw.com/drupal for samples. If you don't need it too quickly, then it won't cost you a fortune...

Thank you.
