For those of us who customize our modules, this is a different layout of the alphabet navigation menu for wfdownloads. It is more of a square and fits nicely in a narrow column.

The changes must be made to this code from "/modules/wfdownloads/include/functions.php"
function wfd_letters()
{
    global $xoopsModule;

    $letterchoice = "
" . _MD_WFD_BROWSETOTOPIC . "
";
    $letterchoice .= "[  ";
    $alphabet = array ("0", "1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z");
    $num = count($alphabet) - 1;
    $counter = 0;
    while (list(, $ltr) = each($alphabet))
    {
        $letterchoice .= ". XOOPS_URL . "/modules/wfdownloads/viewcat.php?list=$ltr'>$ltr";
        if ($counter == round($num / 2))
            $letterchoice .= " ][ ";
        elseif ($counter != $num)
            $letterchoice .= " | ";
        $counter++;
    } 
    $letterchoice .= " ]";
    return $letterchoice;
}


Now replace it with this code
function wfd_letters()
{
    global $xoopsModule;

    $alphabet = array_merge(range('A', 'Z'), range('0', '9'));

    $letterchoice = "" . _MD_WFD_BROWSETOTOPIC . "";

    for ($i = 0, $cnt = count($alphabet); $i < $cnt; $i++) 
    {
       if (0 == ($i % 9) && (strlen($letterchoice) > 2)) 
           $letterchoice .= '
|';
       $letterchoice .= " . XOOPS_URL . "/modules/wfdownloads/viewcat.php?list={$alphabet[$i]}'>{$alphabet[$i]} |";
    }

    return $letterchoice;
}


It works like a charm! This is what it should look like.

I edited my post above with better code for you to paste. There was some messy code posted for about an hour. If you tried the hack and it did not work, please try it again.

Yeah sometimes we do see things However you could always post a link on our feature request forum to make sure we do.

Nice work. While i see the advantage of it i am not sure if it is for everyone the prefered display mode. For example for people browsing with really low resolutions (certainly not me but they are there) it would push other things two lines down.

I will gather most of my bug fixes and hacks of wfdownloads and post them at your site. Sorry about that.

Things like this menu are not for everybody. It is more of an option. It should not go in the next release. Although I have some that should.

I think new code and ways of doing things can still open new doors. Yes it moves things around, but that is the point, to customize a module used on many websites.
