A-Z Guide

Hi All,


Hopefully someone can help. My website has a A-Z Guide on it with letters from A-Z and the corresponding information below the letters. I assume that the information is nested content but cannot seem to find it anywhere. I have literally searched all of the assets but without luck. Is there a type of indexing I need to do to include new additions to the website in the A-Z topics?

A-Z lists are usually done by an asset listing in A-Z mode. You would need to find the asset listing that is generating the content and work out where it is sourcing its assets from. You could probably contact Squiz Support for more assistance on this, if necessary.

I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right place but on the Details page of the A-Z asset it has under "Asset Selection" a Standard Page and a Redirect Page. Is that what you mean?


Well, that means your A-Z asset is looking for Standard Pages and Redirect Pages to list. You now need to check the Root Node to see where it'll list those assets from. Most likely, it is only configured to list Live assets as well (which is what you want), so new pages will only show up after they are made Live.

Ok I understand what you mean now. Would there be a reason that it isn't showing up on the A-Z listing even though it is a Standard Page? It seems to be updating other pages I have created but not this particular one.

If caching is on, you may be seeing an old version of your A-Z page. If so, use the _nocache suffix on your A-Z page's URL to check the non-cached version (eg www.example.com/a-z/_nocache).

I don't think it's the cache as there are older pages that have been created that are on the A-Z page. Not to mention that I have turned the caching off through System Management. Anything else it could be?


There are a number of things it could be, based on the configuration of your A-Z list. For example, the list may not be listing assets from the entire site, or it may be hiding TYPE_2 linked assets or even not listing the asset type you added. You'll need to look at the configuration of the A-Z list and work out based on its configuration why it is excluding the assets you're looking for.

If necessary, I'm sure Squiz Support could help you out with this. :)
