  It looks:

  1.A

  …

  and I want see it like:

  #-A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L…..

  I use the kubrick theme and paste your css in the style.css. This css:

  ol.snap_nav {
  display: inline;
  float: left;
  clear: both;
  list-style: none;
  }

  ol.snap_nav li {
  display: block;
  float: left;
  padding: 0 2px 10px 0;
  }

  ol.snap_nav li a {
  font-weight: bold
  }

  ol.snap_nav li.snap_selected a {
  cursor: text;
  }

  ol.snap_titles {
  clear: both;
  display: block;
  border: 0;
  list-style: none;
  }

  when i choose in the options the style i want nothings happen.

  Can you help me? I hope you understand what i want.

• This is great. Is there a way to use this plugin to show all posts for all categories? I’d like to use it as a general TOC for the overall site. I’ve tried passing ‘0′ and nothing for categories, but it seems to just take the category of the page I am putting the calling PHP code on.

  Thanks!

• THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  Fantastic plugin. I’ve just put it on my local development site and set-up a few items, it looks like it’ll work brilliantly for me. Thank you!

  A couple things:

  1- Count me as another vote for anchors ;)

  2- Would it be possible to do something about URLs? The format of ‘?snap=A’ seems to veer away from the pretty url available through WP. I’m not sure what the best approach would be, not even sure the plugin itself can handle it, but if it’s possible, maybe skip the question mark in the url? seems it would be easier on the human eye.

• Hi! I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for making this plugin. We are using it at NoticIEEEro, our blog and news centre for IEEE Region 9, Latin America and the Caribbean.

• To Everyone —

  I’m sorry I haven’t been more actively responding to comments the past few weeks, but someone very close to me passed away last week after a long illness and caring for them had pretty much been to focus of all of my free time. I’m still sorting a lot of things out, but hopefully I’ll find a free day soon to sit down and review the potential bugs that have been brought to my attention, respond to comments, and perhaps introduce a new feature or two. Thanks for your understanding.

  Take your time. We’re not going anywhere.

• Hi, Nathan. First of all, sorry for your loss. Hope you are fine now.

  In other order of things, I have a doubt about the usage of the plugin. In our glossary we need to sort words in Spanish starting with tilded letters, like “Áreas”. This kind of words are placed in the “#” page. Is there any way to handle this?

  Again, thank you.

  Bests,

  Pablo

• Hi, like Roberlan, I don’t have any category.php file in my theme (3k2): should I copy the ‘default’ category.php page and put it in my theme? Or what else? Thank you, C.

• Hi. Iam back. :-)

  I use the “pool” theme and don’t know where to input the php code. I have no categore.php page. please help me.

• Is it possible to show defenitions on a separate page using this plugins? What I have is actually a short article, so it should be on a different page. Thanks! Nice plugin!

• Nathan,

  I have two questions.

  1. I have an “index.php” a “categories.php” and an “archive.php” in use on my site. When the “index.php” and “archive.php” is loaded the plugin only registers half of the titles. When the “categories.php” is loaded all the titles are available. Is there a bug here or is there something I have to do to make the plugin work correctly on the other pages?

  2. Is there a way to not have the plugin list titles on first load? I only want the titles to list when the user has clicked on a letter. Currently when the page first loads it lists titles beginning with the letter “A”.

  By the way, this is a very good plugin. Thanks for making it available.

• Okay, I guess it’s time that I addressed all these comments!

  Ken — Your bug report is at the top of my list. I still am not sure when I will have time to next sit down and work on this plugin, but it’s what I’m going to be looking at first.

  Michael — What you’re asking for is certainly doable, but there’s a lot of work under the hood that would need to be done to get the plugin to that level. It’s been added to my list, but this may not be something I can get to anytime soon.

  Sven — The question you asked is a CSS question. Not only have I suggested how to fix the problem you’re encountering on this very page, but I’ve also requested that users limit their requests for these sorts of tutorials. CSS is a whole other ball of wax, and I don’t really have time to teach that to you. My apologies and good luck!

  Brian — Right now, there is no “all” option. Perhaps there should be. On the difficultly of implementation scale, I would have to give this one a big, fat “I don’t know.” But I think I can do this relatively easily.

  Nic — 1. Another vote down for anchors it is! 2. I hear you. You’d like a “prettier” permalink structure. On the coding side of things, I know how to make this work — the way I’m doing things is convenient because I can easily grab the snap variable that way, but I know of another way to do the same thing. But what should I do on the permalink side? What should this look like? Suggestions?

  Monika — I would guess that you saved but did not publish your new post. Or, that you put it in the wrong category.

  Pablo — Thanks for the kind words. I checked out your site but I didn’t see WP-SNAP! in action. Where is it? Or did you have to pull it because of internationalization issues? You’re alphabetization problem concerns me — I would really like the plugin to handle every “A” letter the same, accent mark or not. I’m putting this near the top of the list.

  Claudio & Sven — I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to research this right now. I can see for more beginner users that this plugin is going to need a help document that answers these kinds of questions. But that may very well require help from other users. Right now, should I get time to work on this plugin, I’m going to need to spend it working on the code.

  Broadcaster — I’m not sure what you’re asking. If you want, you don’t have to show “definitions” at all. Just titles. When the title is clicked on, it should take you to the permalink for that post title.

  Craig — 1. On the index and archive page there is no way for the plugin to know what category you want to display. I’m guessing that on the index page it’s probably grabbing category 0 and on the archive page … I dunno. But WP-SNAP! only knows what category it is if WordPress itself passes that variable to it — which pretty much just happens on the category page. Otherwise, you need to tell it what category to display. Or am I not understanding the bug you’re reporting? 2. Currently, no. But I can do this fairly easily I think. I’ll add it to the list.

  Sheesh, this little plugin of mine is looking to grow way beyond what I originally envisioned! Thank you all for your kind words of praise and encouragement and suggestions. I really appreciate that there are people out there in the world that have found this plugin so useful. I promise to get back to work on WP-SNAP! soon. Thanks again for your understanding.

• Nathan: Thank you for your answer. WP-SNAP! is being used in our glossary at NoticIEEEro. We didn’t officialy launched it, but it’s working at that URL.

  #95Pablo Fernando Sanchez

  July 30th, 2006 at 10:14 pm

• Nathan,

  Can the plugin be tweaked to alphabetize all the titles regardless of the category?

  #96Craig

  July 31st, 2006 at 1:14 pm

• Pablo — Thanks for the link, I’ll check it out. Should be looking into the accent issue soon.

  Craig — Yes, here’s the hack:

  Open up the plugin in your favorite editor and change line 223 to:

  $wp_snap_posttitles = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT `post_title`, `post_content`, `post_excerpt`, `ID`, `post_password` FROM $wpdb->posts, $wpdb->post2cat WHERE `post_id` = `ID` AND `post_status` = 'publish'");

  That should do it!

  #97Nathan Olsen

  August 1st, 2006 at 1:01 pm

• Wow, I didn’t realize the plugin was in such bad shape! I think I squashed the sort issue — I accidently typed an “i” where I should have typed a “j”. Ugh. I also started toying around with accommodating accent marks, but I’m not done yet. I felt like I needed to get the sort fix out to you guys as soon as possible, so look for another release to finish up the accent mark issue.

  Not quite sure how I’ll fix that one — the letter I know isn’t working right now is “Ê”, which gets interpreted as an “A” somehow. No doubt this effects other accented letters as well. Hrm.

  I look forward to feedback. Let me know if you find any more bugs.

  #98Nathan Olsen

  August 2nd, 2006 at 1:12 am

• Nathan: The issue with accent marks looks like solved, but now when you first access the function, the title list is not filtered (as you can see here). Previously, when you first accessed the function, the list showed filtered by the first used initial.

  #99Pablo Fernando Sanchez

  August 2nd, 2006 at 8:36 am

• Pablo — The issue with the accent marks may not be solved, but the remaining issues might not effect your use of the plugin. It looks like it may only be very specific letter/mark combinations that are still at issue. Let me know if you encounter any problems.

  Also, I’ve updated WP-SNAP! to version 0.5.3 and have fixed the bug with the list not filtering when you first access the page. Let me know if you notice anything else. Thanks!

Frequently Asked Questions

1. When will the next version of your plugin be released?

   As soon as I find the time, I will update the plugin and release a new version. I understand how frustrating it can be to be so close to having the perfect Wordpress installation only to be held up by a plugin that just needs a little more work to be exactly what’s needed. However, please remember that I am not paid write this plugin and that, like you, I have a family and responsibilities that extend far beyond this little piece of code. I really appreciate your enthusiasm, but if you wish to reap the benefits of my freely given labor, then you must be satisfied with doing so on my timetable. Otherwise, if you simply cannot wait, you are more than welcome to modify and extend the capabilities of my plugin yourself.

2. Why do the results WP-SNAP! returns look funky? Why is it numbering every item?

   A web page is composed of two parts: a document containing HTML code and a document containing styling code (known as a Cascading Style Sheet, or CSS for short). Because WordPress templates can look so drastically different from one another, I have intentionally avoided injecting any CSS information into WP-SNAP! However, I have included several ID selectors (that can even be modified from within wp-admin) that should allow you to style WP-SNAP! to look however you’d like. Those numbered lists? You can turn them off. I do ask that you try to refrain from asking me CSS related questions — while I would love to help you, my time is limited. If you would like to learn more about CSS, I suggest visiting A List Apart or Vitamin.

3. I tried using your plugin, but it just won’t work. What am I doing wrong?

   Unfortunately, I don’t have the time to troubleshoot every installation of this plugin. However, if you believe you have discovered a bug, I encourage you to post a comment to my website and I will reply as soon as I can. I do request that you be as specific as possible when asking for assistance. Please provide a detailed account of the steps you took that resulted in the error you encountered so that I can try to reproduce it and more quickly deduce how to fix it.
