Sorted List of Tags - Display Slideshow

danieldalfovo

Hello,

Here is my first post! First: I am super happy to have found this, really great work!

I am trying to make an alphabetical list of all known tags. I found the filters variable which returns all tags of all pages = Great!

Now I would like to group them visually into their starting letter, sth like this:
<li>A</li> <@~ foreach in filters @> /*somehow only include filters starting with "a", if sth?? <li>@{ :filter }</li> <@~ end @>

Can anyone give me a hint here??

Thanks
Daniel

danieldalfovo Hi there, you can take a look at the match function.

<@ foreach in filters @> 
    <@ if @{ :filter | match ('/^a/') } @> 
        @{ :filter }
    <@ end @>
<@ end @>

mad Great Thanks. Works nicely out of the box with [a,A] too!

Maybe you can point me into another direction. I would like to iterate through a list of characters, sth like:

myList = [[a,A],[b,B],...,[z,Z]] <@~ foreach in myList @> selector = myList[@{ :i }] -> and proceed with my filters <@~ end @>

Or is it possible to create an element called sth like character_list.php and if I call it in my main site.php I can somehow pass it a variable:

<@ elements/character_list.php def([a,A])@>

Thanks man! Btw I love Automad, super clean and fast and useful. Trying to build my new site with it right now. And also found another enthusiast using it for some projects. Will definitely check the sponsoring 🙌

danieldalfovo Hi, you can create a simple PHP extension for this. That will basically allow you to use a similar syntax in a template. Check out the docs, there is a guide for extension development.
