Plugin Description
To use this plugin just put the shortcode [azindex] on the page you want to display an A-Z index on.
This can then be used anywhere posts are being listed.
It also allows you to define a custom index type like this:
[azindex index=”A-E,F-J,K-M,N-R,S-W,X-Z,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9″]
You can also index pages:
[azindex index=”A-E,F-J,K-M,N-R,S-W,X-Z,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9″ posttype=”page”]
You can set what field to order by:
[azindex orderby=”post_title”]
You can set it to ignore certain prefixes such as “A” or “The”. This is case insensitive.
[azindex ignoreprefixes=”A,The”]
So for example, if you have “The” in there then “The Little House on the Prarie” will come up under both “L” and “T”.
Also works with WooCommerce:
[azindex index=”A-E,F-J,K-M,N-R,S-W,X-Z,0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9″ posttype=”product”]
If you also want to generate output, rather than filter existing posts you have to use the shortcode
[azindexoutput]
You can also define what to search, default is the first letter of the post or page title:
[azindex filter=”title”] -> Filters on first letter of title
[azindex filter=”content”] -> Filters on first letter of content
[azindex filter=”excerpt”] -> Filters on first letter of the excerpt
[azindex filter=”slug”] -> Filters on first letter of the slug
If you want to list posts from your site on a page from a specific category as well you can do so like this:
[azindex category=”post-listing”]
Or for all categories :
[azindex category=”*”]
There is also a built in custom post type called A-Z Index Posts on the admin side that you can add items to and then list on the front page as follows:
[azindex posttype=”azindexcustom”]
or for a listing all custom categories:
[azindex posttype=”azindexcustom” category=”*”]
If you have a custom post type, you can do the following:
[azindex category=”your-custom-category-name” posttype=”my-post-type”]
You can also specify pagination by putting in postcount parameter which represents a number of posts to break on, e.g.
[azindexoutput postcount=”4″]
[azindex postcount=”4″]
You should put this on both shortcodes if you are using them.
You can create your own templates for various uses. In your theme create a folder called BEMOAZIndex and copy the file templates/listing.php in there. You can clone this and then specify other template names as follows:
[azindexoutput template=”bibliography.php”]
There are css styles that you can override in your own template.
There are also 2 widgets, the index widget and the index output widget that replicate the functionality discussed here.
To remove the watermark, you need to buy the pro version.
