FacetWP Alphabet AddOn GPL v1.4

The FacetWP Alphabet Addon is an extension for the FacetWP plugin that enables users to filter content by the first letter of a chosen data source field. This addon is particularly useful for websites that have a large amount of content, such as directories, product catalogs, or lists of posts, where users might want to filter results based on the initial letter of the content.

Key Features:

1. A-Z Listing Facet

• The addon introduces an A-Z Listing facet type, which displays a list of available starting letters from a specific data source field (e.g., post titles, product names, custom fields).
• This facet allows users to click on any letter from A to Z to filter results that begin with that letter.

2. Easy Filtering by Letter

• Users can click on any letter in the list to view content that starts with that letter. For example, clicking on “A” will show all posts or products that begin with the letter “A.”
• This makes it easy for users to browse content that is organized alphabetically, improving the user experience, especially on large content-heavy sites.

3. Resetting the Facet

• After selecting a letter, users can click the selected letter again or the “Any” link to reset the facet and return to the full list of results.
• This gives users a quick way to clear their selection and view all available content again.

4. Customizable Data Source

• The Alphabet Addon allows you to choose the Data Source for the facet, meaning you can filter by the first letter of any content field, such as post titles, product names, or custom fields.
• This flexibility makes the addon suitable for a wide range of content types, from blog posts to product listings.

5. Improved Content Discovery

• The A-Z filter improves the ability of users to discover content quickly, especially on websites with extensive content, such as directories, large product catalogs, or alphabetical lists of resources.
• It enhances the searchability of content by allowing users to narrow down results based on the starting letter of the title or other relevant fields.

6. GPL License

• Like other FacetWP addons, the Alphabet Addon is available under the GPL (General Public License), giving you the freedom to use, modify, and distribute it as needed.
