[solved] alpha index and pagination error

hi there,

[Problem]
my FE-category-view jumps to the wrong page when working with alpha index and pagination.

[Details]
I have a frontend-category-view with pagination and alpha-index. (category has 100's of items.)

Alpha-index shows correct subset of items: Click on 'Z' loads page of items starting with 'Z'.
But pagination generates links like '[...]/?start=50'
which brings me to the very first 50..100 items.
What I expect/need however is to see items 50..100 of my 'Z'-items.
('Z' is only an exanple, of course.)

[Question]
What am I doing wrong?
Do have to include alpha-index' hidden 'letter'-input somwhere? ...?

thanks a lot,
kath

EDIT:
okay, figured out so far that this would solve the issue: ?start=<some_number>&letter=z

Now searching for '$this->pageNav' to fix the broken links...

[Setup]
joomla 2.5.9
FC 2.0.1 (incl. three files 2.0.2)

---

okay, found out that
1) file 'listings_filter_form' correctly sets
<input type="hidden" name="letter" value="< ? php echo JRequest::getVar('letter'); ? >" id="alpha_index" />
and that
2) pagination works once GET param 'letter' is set. it does not work however when 'letter' is POSTed, e.g. by choosing a different alpha-index-letter.

It is a issue of the v2.0.2 files,

I have added this in the todo of v2.0.2

TODO: Check pagination in category view when using refining the view filtering, via search text/filters/alpha-index
(the view needs to show page 1 when refining the search)

I have the fix but must test it please, if i do not give you fix by 24h , then please post back

hi George,

posting back
did you have the chance to test the fix yet?
if not, could you give me the untested code?

thanks a lot and regards,
kath

Please remind me it is site with SHS404SEF ?

no, i just use joomla's own friendly urls.
thanks,
kath

Hello,
i cannot replicate this locally

- do you have a custom template i category view?
- can provide access to site or test site?
