Alphabetical Filtering

[leefish]

Yes, I was a bit afraid of that. I had a similar situation where I needed the thread user id to be a custom field (rather than using the XT_filter url option as the two formats don't seem to chain together nicely) and I got round it by adding an XThreads field with a default value of {$thread['uid']}. That did work, so I was wondering if there was a conditional function that would get JUST the first letter, and then a filter to try and match it?

Like in the memberlist it has this line:

Code:

<a href="memberlist.php?username_match=begins&amp;username={$lang->a}" style="padding: 5px;">{$lang->a}</a>
